Some forums maybe but others meed moderation. Grrrrrr....I've changed my mind. You are right Riggers. Have you seen ExGen's latest post on the BSF at 5.09 this evening. How anyone could write such a thing. Makes me feel sick..... Nope but will make a visit. Oh dear, there's always idiots lurking, just look at Sid James et al.

And to think, I got banned for life. Really....? For life....? Didn't realise that ! Can you still read on there, but just not post?

No, can only read as a guest. If I try to log in I get a banned message, so can't even read it, let alone post. Not that it worries me any more.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one thinking along these lines, but reading ExGen's point they seem to be trying to make a point towards the forum, and the rules. They've been very careful not to 'technically' break the rules described, and have referred more than once to the fact they are not breaking them. Whilst I agree they are saying appalling things, I have to wonder if their point is something of a vendetta against the BSF in some way, or trying to prove a point? (Though exactly what point that is, I'm not sure.. perhaps something about the lack of moderation, or the bullshit that can be spoken on the forum?)
Was it just a nickname ban, schumi? I suppose if it was you could sign up again under another alias (not that you'd want to)?

So you guys aren't up for a mass influx of pissed off BSFers looking for a new home then?!
The latest moron is very odd indeed - articulate & careful posts that obsessively concern riders who have been crippled etc - and all done in a butter-wouldn't-melt tone of startled innocence. Is someone trying to have a bit of a meta-windup? Not some angry promoter trying to get the site shut down? In fact even saying that soudns terrible because anyone who knows enough to post that garbage must know how many people on the forum actually KNOW the riders involved and hwo many of those riders read and post on the BSF.
The only sane conclusion is he's a true nutter - and I know that similar epithets are thrown around online at any "controversial" poster but ExGen is an unusually unplesant presence.
I'm sorry someone suggested it was you Sub - I think they are allowing your rep to loom a little too large in their minds. This is the problem - simple people are getting confused between people like Shovvy and DC who are relentless and fairly focused windup merchants who want to raise the forum temperature, and full on freaks who seem to be on the run from Nurse Ratched.

That's so weird - I started to write something like that and then dismissed the possibility and rewrote my post - but it DOES seem very odd. Too calculated -and that level of calculation in conjunction with his/her subject matter is unnerving.

And I'm really not missing the BSF - don't want to make a big issue of it, but it's no wonder people complain there's no consistency there.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking so - I sent them a message basically saying I was curious as to what they were hoping to achieve, phrased in a polite manner and such, etc, and I had a response saying 'Sorry sir, I don't generally like to correspond by PM. '

Obviously some kind of GM food-related mutation.

Whoever it is is obviously well aware of what they're doing and the reaction it's going to get. Seriously warped whatever the reason, but I don't thinkit's down to just being malicious towards the riders. It does seem as if they have an agenda.

It strikes me as if there are deliberatly trying to get the forum closed down.

I would nominate ExGen but scum like that aren't worth mentioning so my vote goes to DarrenCook over on the BSF for hoping the Updates site boycotted the Poole/Eastie meeting. As I mentioned on my reply to him some fans rely on that site as they can't get to meetings and it'd be unfair on them if we were to do so. Besides which, we're not affiliated with any club or promoter so we can do what the feck we want.
