Den,the first paragraph is bollocks,mate.

There ARE rules,guidelines and procedures involved in posting things on this site,and those who act in transgression of them NEED to be informed.

Sorry - I'm with Den on this one. Whilst the moderation on this forum is on the whole, pretty darn good and I know it's not an easy job etc etc - I do think that in general that there is too much mod input. Moderators do not make the forum, the users do, no?. I don't know the criteria for mod choice on this forum, but for better or worse, the 'inner circle' (which is not the same as clique!) is strong here and I think it affects how justice is dished out, or maybe the tone in which it is dished out. It's embarrassing seeing nooobs like this guy getting flamed for making the simplest of mistakes, just like its embarrassing seeing the threads about the hopelessly pathetic rift between ukgser and gsclub being aired in public - god knows how that must read to people not in the know.... anyway thats another story :D

I not saying that there is some huge issue here - I don't think there is at all but it can't harm to have you dudes up there in mod-land take step back and look at whats going on every now and again.. :thumb
 
Well,there`s a lot of valid input here,and I`m sure the whole matter would have been avoided had there been a clearly visible guideline at the top of the Thread.

Likewise for any future situations.

How about posting something as a sticky then,Paul ???
 
Ok, Site Sponsorship paid for and confirmed :thumb As a side note, the almighty Dollar isn't so almighty anymore. Geez..

On the upside, our friends in the UK get a real bargain when shopping on this side :clap

Nice one... :thumb :thumb


Not quite the best first day on a website eh ??

Hopefully everyone`s learned from your exprience,and more information will exist for other 'newbies'....




So what discount do you give to UKGSers......... :D :D :D :D



And any extra discount for Moderators ??? :D :D :D :D
 
I wasn't offended by this guy's attempt to offer us a service.
He didn't know the rules, and why should he?

What I am offended by is people with a high and mighty attitude, smartarse's and the like.

This forum is meant to be friendly and informative. Mostly it is.

In the future, let's take a step back and think about what we are going to say before we say it.

It's not big and it's certainly not clever to rip into someone who clearly didn't deserve it. :spitfire

Agreed! :thumb
 
Well i took the plunge and ordered a balancer off Marc .
It took about 10 days to arrive (via airmail) , was very well packaged and when i opened it ,it turned :rolleyes: out to be a superbly engineered piece of kit , a real work of art (if i had a mantlepiece that would be where it would live :mmmm )

Anyway it worked a treat , really satisfying to be able to fit AND balance your own tyres :thumb

Thanks Marc for good service and great product :clap
 
Okay...I'll do it then.........

Well that makes me feel a whole lot better :beerjug: Seriously, I appreciate all the positive responses. This little balancer business isn't really a business at all. I recently retired from running an engine rebuilding company for the last 32 years and I just do this as a hobby. Its main function is to give me an excuse to spend too much money on tools and machines ;) Just ask my wife!

Thanks guys..
