ok, looks like i'll be getting the 400D, saw a kit of it on amazon, all adding up to £385...Also my uncle is a professional photographist, and he lives only down the road....so he can help me out

There really isn't a word in the dictionary to describe what you are. Once there is, expect me to call you one a lot.

The word "harjun" will really be an internet phenomenon before soon.

1) When in doubt...blame which moderator? All of them.

2) What's a cracker's favourite excuse? Cracker? Moi? It's a Friends Account

3) Where is the first server most new S2 players go? CTRA (:razz

4) Name 3 ways to get a topic locked? Have Harjun post in it. Be started by harjun, or have anything mentioning Harjun...

5) What would you do if you were banned from the forum? Think "Eff those noobs" then really miss it and try and bribe my way back in...

6) Which in your opinion is the best moderator and why? I can't say just one, they all do a marvelously job, considering the size and amount of posts Harjun makes.

7) What is the point of cruise servers? We can flame them because they don't have a decent answer to "Cruisers suck" unlike drifterorz!!!

8) True or false, the oval produces the most bans in LFS? How the ... would I know

9) DieKolkrabe is sexy, true or false? Gay question. Next...

10) Should this be on the forum? :P No harm in a little bit of fun, originally said by Michael Jackson and Gary Glitter...

Dat is not what I wrote bro...

Who edited my post

Silly question...Did he actually get the kart.

if so, then he can lend it to the body squad when they tried to realize how a 13 year old boy killed himself in his kart. They need fairly good cameras. Two Birds > One Stone.

Here is half decent picture in the rain, on the main road near your home...

From your descriptions, this is all you need...

I don't even know why you are giving him advice, we have been down this road before.

Nice to see your infraction has expired Harjun.

All you really need is to spend your own £130 on a half decent digital camera from Argos or something. When you develop your skill, go up in the world

Edit: Damn, I just gave advice to Harjun...

*hugs Niall*

I apologize. I thought the G25 was one of few "mainstream" wheels that had 900° of rotation. I thought the DFP had less.

Looks like a flat/hot spot to me...

A DFP doesn't have 900dgrees Hag

It really isn't that much of a problem if it doesn't lock. My wheel is setup at 720degrees yet I always race in the FOX/FBm which have 470 or something degress. You should know how much you need to turn the wheel, you should know you need to turn it say 90degrees, you wouldnt just put it on full lock.

Even if you do go that far, it won't really have a huge effect. But I dont use a DFP, so for an answer to your question, so will be along shortly

That's why I asked if the garage had one E2.

Who's being hard on who. Sorry, I forgot asking simple questions was considered rude...

So it was an Indi I take it?

He didn't answer my question, so I asked again.

Quote from The General Lee :

The crappy jobs and usually the ones that turn into bigger and better jobs. Making the tea > full mechanic > Garage foreman

A little "advice" for the little man. Saying, don't be put off/embarrassed by the crappy jobs as there are loads of success stories about people starting out in the "mail room" or making tea, then becoming a top manager of some sort...

Quote from The General Lee :

Do they have a site?

Everyone else has posted a website address to the company they work for etc. As a BMW owner, I would like to see it as I have seen quite a few websites of BMW garages.

Example one - My local main dealer.
Example two - My local indi.
Example three My local parts dealer.

You have obviously tarred me with a brush, and it's the wrong one.

So it was an Indi I take it?

The crappy jobs and usually the ones that turn into bigger and better jobs. Making the tea > full mechanic > Garage foreman

Do they have a site?

Okay, thanks.

I don't use steam anyway, so I'm safe

N-S-Xoffender (read it a loud)

What a tool. He really needs a hard kick to the balls. Forget going to some Karting place for the '08 meet, lets go to South Carolina and take it in turn to kick him in the balls...

I kept on deleting icons I didn't really need, then one day I thought..."i don't need any of this shite" Deleted everything. It is nicely placed in on the start menu.

Also, why would you want stupid little icons getting in the way of that beauty.

Was it a BMW main dealer or Indi?

What is the website address for the garage.

I have just one question...

"Theres a rat in ma aircon what-tum-a-gunna do"

Well, here she is...

Thanks for the reply Sam. I actually got out of bed to see if you had replied

Obviously after your recent reply, it seems we, as everyone does, have different expectations on how servers should be admined. Each server has its own rules, each server also has its own way of dealing with pain in the ears. For me, when an admin is not around, a vote ban will have to suffice, if I or anyone else believes that what they were doing deserves longer than just the '24 hour bug' then I will go to the teams forums, armed with replays. In this field, CTRA's report feature saves me or others going to the CTRA forums. If a server admin is about, then of course it gets brought to their attention.

Like most things, no matter which way you choose to admin your server, there will always be pros and cons. With thje knowledge you have, I don't need to list them as I'm sure you know them all .

I would really appreciate those replays. After having this discussion, I can see how I only have a 1 field view as it were. I have done a few thousand miles, but a majority of those have been spent on rather my teams servers or racing on a certain teams servers (I think you know who ) so a small incite on other admining ways, like CTRA and this so called Bosse incident would maybe widen my view a little.

I thank you for the discussion but I really must be off to bed now. I have to be out the door before 8am.

I hope there is no bad blood between us, considering some of the things I have said.

Quote from VoiD :

Being a german I´m very sensitive about the Nazi-word. It´s for sure a very strong word and should not get out of context for gods sake!

VoiD, I do apologize. I obviously forgot where I was or something, I just kind of said it without thinking of the deeper meaning behind that word and the damage it could cause. Again, I am sorry.

I admit, I don't play on CTRA very much at all. In fact, I don't even need to look at my stats, because are know there barely is any. But I have done some laps, and I have spent most of those few laps being rammed off the road. I also spent a week with someone who plays non-stop on CTRA. I may not have driven there, but I have watched someone race there pretty much all day, every day for a week. He is a high flyer, and I watched 8/10 races being wrecked by an idiot.

Quote from SamH :

How much time have you spent using CTRA?

Very little, racing. But I do have a well enough knowledge to steer clear knowing I will be taken out.

Quote from SamH :

How much with the reporting system?

Compared to the racing I've done there. A lot. Compared to the hardcore fan boys, pretty much zero.

Quote from SamH :

Is there some problem with the way that the reporting system works? Does it fall short? If so, in what way?

Your reporting system is all well and good, but talk about locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. That racer could be on the same server all night, causing the havoc all night till an admin bans them. Most servers have plain and simple admining techniques. Vote kick/ban, admins policing the server and so on. I understand you guys n' gals have lives, a job (well, Sam doesn't he is working full bore on CTRA) family and so on, but don't the other admins of other servers?

Quote from SamH :

I'm curious.. in what way do you feel that we lack in the enforcement department? It seems extraordinary, to me, that with the system we've created and deployed, someone can actually believe that we are lacking in the rule enforcement department.

This whole thread is full of claims of the above lacking. 95% of my post in this thread are based on what I have read, the other 5% is what I know from my own experience.

Quote from VoiD :

Someone got banned two days after because of two reports from that day...

This is part of what my post is about. 2 days to ban someone?! Come on Sam, 2 days is a long time for a wrecker or general idiot to carry on doing what they are doing. 2 hours is an annoying amount of time, but 2 days is edging towards taking the mick. VoiD even put a thumbs up after it, after reading his other post, I dont think it was sarcasm, but he obviously seems quite pleased with the order of service he has received. Me? Doesn't do it for me to be honest. Hence, I'm not on your server, and why I'm posting.

Quote from SamH :

Is there something to your statement, or is it just some more rhetoric?

Please Sam, I really hope you don't see this as a dig to you, CTRA, UKCT or anything you or UKCT has done for the LFS community, because it really isn't. I love, despite my comments, what you have done for the community.
But I am a firm believer in respect. Respect goes a long way, further than friendship, you can hate someone, but you can respect them. You can disagree with everything that person believes in, but you can still respect them more than anyone else you know. As the saying goes, respect isn't bought, it's given.

I have a huge amount of respect for you Sam, I like you as well, I don't dislike you at all. I also have a huge amount of respect to anyone who does any behind the scenes work on the CTRA system. I would like some kind of respect from you. You don't know me from Adam, but just an ounce of respect is all it takes.*

Like I said earlier, I would love to join Redline Racing. I enjoy racing in the FOX and the FBM. They host many servers that I enjoy racing on. No dis-respect to the CTRA Single Seater server, but I would rather race not win points for a license. If the chance arose, I would like to join Redline Racing. But then, any respect for me that anyone had would disappear right in front of my eyes and after reading some of your posts, whatever respect you do have for me would be gone in an instant. In actual fact this would probably stop me joining Redline Racing. They seem to be hated for enforcing their rules with a punch. Yet, have a report system that takes 2 days to ban someone (give or take) and you get the utmost respect from every man and his dog.

I hope, for my sake that you can see past this as "just another rant/dig/moan" because it isn't. I hope that you see the real meaning behind it.

*After reading this back, it sounds like I am moaning you don't pay me any respect. I am not. You have not really been given the chance to show me any respect, so like I said, this also isn't a moan.

Mucho respeto, Sam. Mucho respeto.

It's almost funny. Redline seem to have the worst reputation on here for doing everything that everybody has asked or spoken about.

On Redline Racing servers, you get banned if you cause an accident and don't apologize. They will go away and check the replay for a good 5/10 minutes so they know exactly what happened and who was at fault.

The rules at Redline are enforced at the highest level, yet people moan their asses off at that?! "I got banned for no reason" When I was infact in the same race and I saw everything they done.

People need to work out if they want strongly enforced rules, or slack rules. They moan at the ones that are enforced 100% then moan about the ones that are not enforced.

This may seem pointless (as everything apart from CTRA is ) but the one reason I have not joined the Redline team yet is because I know my reputation (if I have one) will be left in tatters because of the team I wouldn't mind joining if the opportunity arrived. Yet, if I sold websites, I would join UKCT/CTRA and be given a God like status. Yet, in the world of wreckers and general idiots in this race sim of ours, I would be looked down on if I joined Redline, who enforce their rules with a punch, but I would be looked up on if I join UKCT/CTRA, who quite clearly lack in the enforcing rules department.

Justice? I think not.
