Why all the bad vibes for simon @ TLOCUK?

[LandCruiser1978]

Just curious why people have fallen out with him and the site?

I must say i have noticed he is quite FIRM in his posts
I've never had any dealings with the bloke

He is known to read PMs. Enough said.

And he won't add a "edit" function

REALLY?
That is not good

I always thought a private message was meant to be private

That is awful

Yes really, we found out because people got kicked out for PM-ing links to this site after everything kicked off. It all started with someone posting an ebay link which was not allowed and Simon came along and edited the post so the link took you to toy wheels without telling anyone. People started to question his actions and he started to edit more posts without mentioning admin edits in the post... Then he started deleting whole threads... Then we were banned to post links to this site... Then the PM privacy breach came to light...

Some people got kicked out just for selling used parts, others didnt

He will tell you that as the data (i.e. Private Message) resides on his server, he can read it. While this is technically correct, it is morally so wrong.

He also randomly edits people's posts and clearly has no respect for the people who use TLOCUK.

 

[Rob]

That's right Paul, then he deleted the thread of him admitting to reading PMs

I said he was a dictator about 4 years ago............
Actually dictator doesn't do him justice, I was on boards when they were lists and i've modded on a few.
In 10 years I've never known anyone like him on any board anywhere ever.
I was making something for someone and i posted pics, someone asked if i could make any more and suddenly i was hijacking HIS forum for commercial exploit
No ifs, buts or maybe's. Do not pass go, do not collect £200.......

I did a TON of stuff to that Shogun, and not one bit ever went on any board simply because Simon had left such a sour taste, in fact I've actively avoided BB's ever since........

How dare you offer to help someone without asking him first...

As my sig shows i was a member on there for 12 hours. i must hold the record for the fastest member to be barred.

He sent me a few pms telling me i was a naughty boy for selling parts. (what a Dxxk)

I sent him a pm saying if someone has been looking for a part for there truck and they had been for six months with no joy,and there only other option was to buy from toyota at 600pounds. Yet i have 20 of the part they are looking for on my shelf. Do you honestly expect me to not say i have the part and for them to pay toyota? His reply was yes!!!
I sent him a pm back saying the forum is obviously a load of sxxt then as that isnt what a forum should be. They should be here to help each other out.

Total knob. Sorry just my opinion. Actually every one elses as well

It shouldn't be called a club over there as there is nothing about it that constitutes a club. Its one man who has the say in what content is posted and if its not making him money then he isn't interested.
