Come on guys, cut the new guy some slack! This place will turn into Royston Vasey if you can't play nice with the new members!
Maybe we should implement a minimum post count before people are allowed to abuse newbies (that's a minimum number of posts for the receiver, not the giver), with the possible exception of "What size tyres...?" as a first post?

Who? Doc? 'bout time the ickle trouble makerLooks like he's buggered off
Many thanks, I moderated a forum myself (not related to land rovers or anything like that, it's a large international site so we get our fair share of spammers and general arseholes).
I guess I'm used to a more civil response, if the post /thread was against the rules surely your moderators could have just removed it and dropped me a PM to draw my attention to the rules.
Its a shame when a forum gets overrun with people who like nothing better than to start petty arguments that neither contribute nor help, I doubt I'm the first new member to be put off by this mob of keyboard warriors, great job on helping the site with your words of wisdom.
As stated I had no intention or even knowledge of selling the vehicle here and find it quite hard to see how any one could of gained that from my post, all I did was post every single fault with the vehicle ..hardly a sales pitch.
Clearly I'll go elsewhere for advice which in itself will make zero difference to anything but a word to those running the site, allowing these type of regressive smart arse posters to basically own the place will slowly drag the site down to their level, and I suspect you wouldnt want that.

Yer supposed to wait fer em to spit their dummies before you lay it on so thick
Next one to pile in with abuse without telling them why will have an ironic eyebrow raised in their direction
no wonder some people don't bother to stick around,i just wonder if anyone would say things like that if it was face to face talk???

I would actually, interested to know how you came about your opinion based on the number 1. The OP deleted the first post after being guided in the ways of the forum. I've now changed mine to reflect this also.
Hope it meets with your approval

well said and i totally agree.
+1 How much longer will this aggressiveness to newbies be tolerated by the mods?
There is a civil and polite way of asking new comers to post in the intro thread. I agree it's nice and polite to have an introduction, however its not always the required method on other forums. Let's seek to understand before being understood.

The issue wasn't a lack of introduction and several conversations have been had as a result of this thread. LZ is many things but LRO isn't one of them
I agree with blue beasty, if you've spent any time reading the different posts on the site you would realise it's got a style all of its own!
I think I introduced myself when I first joined, but if I didn't I apologise and I'm sure someone will let me know!!
By the way can someone tell me the best tyre size for a D2 with a 2" lift???? ;0)) BoBo
