Last warning and reminder to post within the forum rules.
For Macca:
The forum rules:
Rule 3 No bad language, racism, or other downright 'orrible stuff. The quickest way to find out if a word is allowed or not is to include it in a posting, and if the auto censor gets it, it is not allowed.
Re-spelling or doctoring a word to get it past the censor does NOT suddenly make the word allowable.
Rule 3 also covers Personal Attacks. Attack the post but not the poster.
And just ensure fairness…
For gogzy:
The forum rules: Rule 8 PM’s and E-Mails sent through this site are subject to the same rules as everything else. We don’t however have access to them so if you have concerns we will not know until you contact an Admin. If you abuse the Messaging systems, we will suspend your right to use them. PM’s and Emails are private between users and must remain so.
If this topic ends up being removed, then please don’t even think of saying that you haven’t been warned.
The pop corn has come a bit to late Rob, DD got rid of the most sense I have ever spoken on here. Seams it is okay on here to make personal attacks against certain members but not against others. The thread was started to have another go at ROG just like posts in previous threads about the same person.
But Dave I dont want to get into an argument over it, you have posted on threads and gave me advice etc and I respect you so I will leave it at that.
Gogzy you know what you was doing just not man enough to admit, pop down to specsavers mate they will sort your eyes out
The Tattooed Fifer seems to be getting his rocks off by attacking Rog, on every thread that he can. I would have thought that the stage at which this thread was locked, has long since passed.The bit that I like least about it is that there are some of the moderators who give the impression that , what Jockstrap is posting, peurile as it may be, is OK in their book. Press that button Dave. He will then be off to start another ,“Aren,t I a super clever cookie”, thread on another forum.
Not wanting to be the last post before a thread is locked, let me tell you what I think. If you don’t like it don’t read it and put me on the Foe setting.
If someone asks a serious question and gets a wrong answer or is told ■■■■■■■■ by someone you trust, it negates the strength of Trucknet. If you want to know who to ring because your driving licence has a spelling mistake,or you need the address of Simonswood, Weedon or Grovehill, call Rog.
If you want to ask a question about drivers hours, tachographs, or even WTD there are several people you can trust. It does no good that someone then argues a silly point about “what if”
The rules are quite simple, written in every language of the EU and there are some posters who insist using the wrong document to try to prove a point.
I have thousands of posts on this forum, some are supposed to be funny, posted in bullys bar, some are from the oldtimer thread posted by a reasonably old ■■■■, some are even about my experiences on tankers, both from the office side of the fence and from the gantry. Yet I would never argue a point with Diesel Dave because his job is to be absolutely correct in the dangerous goods section.
Rog is an out of work driving instructor who openly admits he has never used a digital tachograph, never been on a ferry and never carried dangerous goods, yet answers sensible questions on every topic with confidence. Of course some people will miss him, they think every post is the definitive answer. sometimes it is a guess at best, or a dangerous misunderstanding at worst. Tachograph & overloading offences are serious, driver licence discrepancies and failing a hill start less so.
My point is not about what ROG posts, he has got things wrong and I agree that taking that wrong advice could cost someone a fortune I am not arguing about that at all.
My problem is that a pathetic thread was started to open all the doors to the lets kick ROG in the balls club and I dont think that is fair there are better ways to tell someone they are wrong than slagging them off at the earliest opportunity I do not know what has gone on in the past and do not wish to get into the right and wrong doings of someone. All I will say is if ROG has not heeded to warnings he has recieved about his posts then the appropriate action should be taken which it has.
Gogzy could of easily dealt with this in a private manor like an adult instead of gossiping like girls in a school play ground.
Malcolm. You,ll stay on my Friends List. Despite the fact that on this one I stay firmly in support of someone I see as needing support from fellow forum members;Not to get kicked to zb bits by some guy on whose driving license the ink has yet to dry.

Macca - there’s a lot of history with Rog that you are not aware of and what may appear to you as being black and white is far from. For the record, I don’t agree with Gogz starting a fresh thread here, but I can understand why it was done because having been on the receiving end of Rog’s incessant PMs myself, they do get damned annoying after a while and there is a simply no need for them. What few people know is that while Rog has 18000 posts on here, he sends around 3 times that amount in annoying PMs and emails to people, sending them links to other sites and such like, and that is what Gogz is upset about.
Malc sums it up perfectly above imho. While most newbies to this site think that the sun shines out of his arse and he is the God of Driver Rulez & Anything Highway Code, he just isn’t. If you wish to be one of his followers then I am happy to PM you the URL to his new hideout.

I’ll agree that gogzy could have dealt with this in a private manner, but I respect his choice not to have done so.
gogzy has said a lot about himself in his posts and I’m sure that folks have cottoned on to that and may form their own opinions on it, but as far as I can see, the only forum rule gogzy has broken is to publiscise the alleged content of Emails, so I’ve removed them.
Posters can write what they like, provided that it’s within the forum rules, so the post stays unless the warning is ignored.

No, no one has been banned recently. ROG seems to have decided to stop posting, his choice.
On the subject of this thread there are plenty of people not impressed with him emailing them since he stopped posting. I have had a lot of PM’s saying as much, and I know others have as well, most of them along the lines of “Can you stop this idiot emailing me as I really don’t care about him or his problems.”

No. This question has been asked about 189 times now . His posts are on pre-mod and he doesn’t like it so is refusing to post anymore. He is NOT BANNED.

Try here. Hopefully RobK’s going to share some of that popcorn, this is getting quite entertaining

which is why I stopped reading his PM’s a while back and just deleted them unopened. I told him I was doing that but he still sent them, go figure.
I am not one of ROGs followers, as I said I am not interested in ROG’s right or wrong doings a few of ROG’s post I have read and thought that isnt right but someone has always put the person asking the question right.
I just dont think this post was needed, if it was aimed at some one else I would have the same feelings and voice my opinion. It is the purpose of this thread that I do not like. In previous threads people opinions of ROG have already been said and another thread did not need creating to have another go.

Maybe a way of blocking pm’s received from certain members should be brought in if there isnt a way and you can block emails from people you dont want them from anyway. I can understand people being annoyed if they are bombarded with pm and emails from people but feel it should be dealt with privately.
Its not about ROG its about people ganging up and sticking the boot in, now Rob can I have some pop corn I feeling rather hungry after all that excitment
