So... Why do we allow people to create multiple accounts?

[BU5TER]

Without rules the forum wouldn't work or even be here to help us ... I am a nice guy thats why I hand the warnings out its for everyones benefit

The forum has helped me meet great people, trade parts and build a car that I could of never done without it ... I know its hard to understand but the rules have to be there

Hey anthony, I remember when your banning took place, and it was before the warning system.

We put that in place so that people would have a fair go.

As for racial bias, AFAIK no-one selcts race as a field when they register....so I can't see where bias would come into it.

Re people signing up again, I'm not aware of any way to ban an IP, and even if we could it could cause trouble with other people from the same ISP. We can and do ban again as soon as we are sure its the same person but that can be difficult.

And finally for my rant, IT IS NOT A FARKING DEMOCRACY HERE. PranK makes up the rules, the moderators enforce them. If you don't like them feel free to go elsewhere.

but seriously you guys take this forum to seriously, whats the big deal. i get banned for stupid things like making comments to stupid people who have no idea about cars, merli and blitz seriously you guys need to get out more the world doessnt revolve around this forum and your skyline pushing 200kw@flywheel. ive sold and vought stuff from people on the forums and have actually met a few good blokes, and for merli you must take a fancy to me if i came up in a conversation you were having last night. but sorry i dont go that way.

You came up in conversation at an SAU Monthly dinner, where we sometimes talk about.................... SAU (and it's IQ-challenged members )

But yeah, you're right... My skyline only puts out about 200kw@flywheel, but I bought it stock and modified it myself. I guess I could always go and find someone else's car and buy that. That way I could buy my way into power without actually knowing anything about cars, or being able to drive them down the 1/4 mile myself

But I'm not sure what the power of my skyline has to do with anything? Is that the only thing you have over us? I guess it is, because intelligence definitely isn't on that list, otherwise you'd have quickly figured out why you were getting banned from repeated warnings and stop it.

In any case, as I said, you're just annoying. It's more about the scammers and people who blatantly rip others off like doridori/mines_datsun that just prance around bans that worry me. Their actions don't just annoy people, they actually put people out of pocket of their hard-earned money.

Re people signing up again, I'm not aware of any way to ban an IP, and even if we could it could cause trouble with other people from the same ISP.  We can and do ban again as soon as we are sure its the same person but that can be difficult.

AFAIK, there's an option in the Admin CP that allows you to set IP bans. I have also heard that it is quite buggy and doesn't always translate correct subnetting and can ban entire classes instead :Oops:

The best way to ban people is through a simple .htaccess file put into the root directory that contains:

Deny from 128.1.1.1 (for the host 128.1.1.1)

Deny from 214.12.34 (for the subnet 214.12.34.0/24)

Deny from 10 (for the whole 10.0.0.0/8 subnet)

chatting to people about ttheir cars,  thats why i come back, i might have a very bad  temper but as  some people know im calm most of the time.

you dont chat at times. You more so abuse.

And your temper is your own problem to sort out, its not an excuse or a scapegoat as to your behaviour

you guys are just complete nerds, and SAU is your life.. we dont rip off people.. you rip off people by taking there money.

[Guerilla]

Just because you Ban there IP doesnt mean they cant post on someone else's computer or create an account on some public computer or whatever. :werd: to the people who said you cant just ban straight away ect. But in someone like Wreckedhead's case thats should be an I.P ban because its getting out of hand, and by the sounds of it Merli and Blitz are thinking that to. But like I said banning Wreckedhead's I.P wont stop him 100% from posting on SAU.

P.S 'Wreckedhead' I wasnt aiming at you on purpose, just for example.

[performance-wise]

blitz-gtr is doridori32 aka mines_datsun etc.... he was just recently banned and has resigned under this username. Thought y'all should know.

thats a low blow mate

it costs money to run a forum you know and one this size would cost a shit load

there is nothing wrong with people paying for membership the the club

and donating money to keep the forums up and running

at least the guys on here make it clear that its to keep the joint up and running

[Duncan]

blitz_gtr has already been banned again.
