After some of the stupid little shitfights in SDU, and even the big serious fights/disagreements/bloody whatever, im going to set up a list of people who will act as mediators, either online or in person. This will be to sort out anything that needs sorting out. It will happen so we might as well have provisions to deal with it. Probably wont be needed for some little thing between 2 people in a thread though (i hope!)

anyone want to put their hand up? we obviously wont need many.

i think it's up to the moderators and admin to take care of stuff like that. if we acknowledge mediators too we might have too many chiefs and not enough indians. there might be toes stepped on and so forth.

why don't you guys give us good reasons vs bad ones on why we should/shouldn't have mediators and we'll implement it if it's viable.

A mediator is like a middle man, say two people get into a stupid fight, they bring someone in (a mediator) to let the two sort things out and keeping things resonable and civil. Not a bad idea, hopefully things won't get to the point where we need any, but i personally don't think officially recognising anyone as a mediator is neccessary. If things happen, there are enough senior members around to hopefully step in and settle things down anyway. To me a moderator is to keep things on the board running smooth, now even though this board is a big part of the club, i think there's a lot more too it and mods aren't always gunna be able or suitable to mediate between people, either in person or online.

I think we just have to take things as they come, and hope everyone is mature enough to sort things out. I havn't seen any real arguements on here yet that have gotten out of hand and think we keep this trend going.

boxcar racer.. even though the idea of ppl fighting on these forums sounds stupid it happens alot and will happen as more and more ppl join up..

i dont agree on the idea of mediator's, as onarun said u cant have 101 and chiefs and no indians.. just have each section moderated by the assigned person as was in the previous forums..

if 2 or more ppl wanna bitch they can do it over email/icq or whatever..

just wanted to put something in place to sort out what will inevitably happen, especially between a moderator and user.

didnt think there were any cons. just trying to ensure the club doesnt go downhill as SDU did. Each state can just sort out what they want to do anyway.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
