i really hope motorsportforums gets a lot of money from you because you are just a useless nuisance... nothing you post from your useless blog/website is either original or contributes anything.Quote:

N.O.T. is not anonymous for most of us... I´ve nearly seen him once in Greece... :cool:
That's true. I was sure I saw him swimming in a lake in Scotland once, but it was just the Loch Ness Monster.
There used to be a street named after NOT, but it was changed because nobody crosses NOT and lives.
So what happened to the new WRC.com website and app they were talking about for this season? Any chance of it still happening?
Just noticed that after 18 days of competition and 5.400 kms, in Dakar, and with 1 stage remaining petterhansel snatched the lead and he leads Roma by just 26 seconds going into the final stage of 157 KMs...
What a finish that will be !!!!!!!!
A swedish lady named Ewy Rosqvist won this happening 53 yrs ago in a Mercedes. Well, not quite the same, but at that time it was very well the same effort winning in Argentina. Just so you notice...
Since monte carlo is now home event for ogier do you think there is any possibility for rally france to get back to corsica?loeb is not competing anymore, so the rally can be moved from alsace where it was sebastians home to corsica,what do you think?i dont know of course rally cosrsica obligations to erc(long term contract?).
Mirek will not give a proper answer as he was banned... :mad:Quote:

Mirek banned?
:crazy:
It was without warning or without any notice to him. When I was asking directly the person who has banned him, I got this answer: "Mirek Writes too much crap on the forum. If you do not wish as a rallyfan that drivers disappear during an accident from the rally.Quote:

Wrong place for this discussion really but has someone hacked in and made themselves a moderator?Quote:

No, it is regular moderator. And I absolutely dont agree with his decision and system how he has made it (without warning or any info to him). And I also dont think that this is reason for banning.Quote:

If he dont do it i dlike Mark to explain the reason.
Ok, this chat is now out of topic as Mirek was unbanned by Mark. Despite it I still dont agree with the explanation and style of this banning.
I think that should be all for this conversation and I will move last few posts about banning to different thread.
thanks Pluto ;)
the moderating team of rally forum are just incompetent... when i was banned (and there were far better reasons than mirek) i also did not get any information why... useless... LOL
So, not banned for particular reason, but one gloomy day somebody with power decided to get rid of him? Pathetic.
"Too much compalins from users" is pure demagogy. If somebody is really annoying for many people, there should be voting in a poll to do/don't ban him.
Personally I do not want anybody here get the BANana, as the ignore function is flawless.
Mirek banned? :mad: :mad:
He´s one out of few that has relevant information and also get theoretical answers when such topics are up.
Mirek is one of the guys on the forum whom you´d be able to have a serious discussion with.
Thank You guys for Your support but please take it as closed thing. No need to discuss it more.
you naughty boy Mirek ... welcome to the club... LOOOOOOL
They should get that mod on off duty, Mirek is probably one of the most beloved forummember on the rallying section :p

Some you old hands may have noticed a drastically lowered level of participation...Never know what might trigger what---and POOF! Gone.
Something is severely wrong how mods seemingy can do no wrong--and no answers ever given.
Something is rotten in the state of Danmark ---WS Shakespeare...
Just to reply to Janvan - I was made a mod for the purposes of administering the WRC Pickem, but I have on occasion had cause to request behaviour change from certain members. When I have made a mistake (in my own behaviour) I have admitted it and made a public apology (unless you are the Pope no one is perfect!). I would count it a major failing to end up banning someone and certainly can't imagine why certain actions were taken. On the other hand there are certain members who enjoy dishing it out but don't like it back, they should grow up. The major problem with any forum exchange, particularly if both participants are using english as a non-native speaker, is you cannot absolutely take the tone and nuance of what is being written and some people mis-interpret what they read on the screen. Clearly Mark (who is very balanced in his view of bannings and complaints) realised an error of judgement had arisen and corrected it. Nothing is wrong in Denmark, stop picking on the Danes!
Does anyone know will iPhone5s IOS 7 play WRC radio?!
No more results from previous seasons on wrc.com :P
What to say about the poor PICKEM situation? Is the guys doing the job to busy or does other circumstances obstruct?
Okay, I try again. Is there any NEW mobile phone where WRC radio works well?
Yep, Mark hasn't been able to re-establish the Pickem programme fully and has been otherwise engaged since Christmas hence my running the MC Pickem as a manual entry to be retro loaded, as and when the programme is up and running again.Quote:

Swedish Rally Pickem to be run as the MC was.
No one to blame. You prob needed a brake.
Very True :)Quote:
