The Torque Meister
I was enjoying that thread, Weird..... And I'd like an st220 as well
I'd be inclined to let it run. I do feel a very slight twinge of guilt because I think I catalysed the whole thing but in fairness to myself all I asked of the new poster was this:-
"What's the attraction of Vauxhalls?"
I took original post from Corsafan1's welcome thread because it didn't look good berating Vauxhalls when welcoming a Vauxhall owner.
I could of deleted it then, but it seemed like a good discussion to me at the time.
However, the moderation team took the decision to close it for the moment because, it was thought it might end up as a Vauxhall bashing thread with member's falling out with each other. At the end of the day our aim is keep the forum open & friendly.
The new member concerned has not returned since all this & that was also a factor in our decision, because Torquecars covers all makes & models it seems wrong to have a criticise at any particular marque.
But seeing as a number of you good gentlemen have expressed an interest in the closure of the Vauxhall thread. We will discuss the possibility of reopening the thread.

it is hard being a mod sometimes i am a mod /committee member on the pontiac club
and it is not a quick dicision to close threads normaly talked about for a bit before anything happens
unless it is just rude and not right then that thread should be deleted
and agree with m/a so many people join forums say hi and never go back on the site again
so never blame the mods for anything
unless they eat the last rolo lol
Agreed LM a moderators life is a difficult one at times, I too officiate on several Oxford University forums! but I agree that Loz intervened when he thought the thread was losing some substance and after all; this is supposed to be a family orientated, friendly forum, and the Moderators are there for everybodys protection!
But viewing passed threads which in my opinion seemed to have been a little more edgy than some shall we say! these have escaped the detection of several moderators radar and were duly allowed to run their course
Well its over and done with now and I think we should move on from it! who knows!!! the chap may well return and wonder what all the fuss was about?
and I for one would always share my last Rolo :bigsmile:
