What I can't work out is whether or not the eBay seller of the red turbo, "performance-classic-historic" is one and the same as "The Throttle Shop"? Feedback to vendor pretty shabby with some worrying comments left by buyers. 4 out of the last 11 transactions negative and one neutral.

Please don't mention Scotty. Several admins had to undergo therapy after trying to help him. [&:] I really liked Mark's input as a trader. I know it's easy to knock people for making a living from what we see as a hobby, but I felt it added another side to the 944 world. We're too keen to shoot people down sometimes, and we lose out IMO.ORIGINAL: 944 man I wasn't wrong to put the clown on 'ignore' then? I only ever did that once before, with James Scott when he went mental... []

I agree, I enjoyed sharks input, he is a dealer what ever that means, lots of us are dealers in some way and those of us that are have to make a living, nah a profit, from buying and selling, some things sell themselves because the product is very saleable some things have to be sold, but at the end of the day a living has to be made. And as we all should know by now no matter what we are buying. Buyer Beware.

I think that the username Shark summed him up. Arrogant and full of what he knew whilst not actually knowing much and not appearing to be particularly nice. He who cant be named, on the other hand, was just a misguided wally. Oddly, the cars may soon end up holding the status that would have befitted HWCBN's attitude and outlook.

What happened to "Shark"? I have noticed that he hasn't posted anything during the short time I've been back (well, not really back but, you know what I mean) [8|]. Has he fallen foul??

Can we please keep it polite? Too many comments here are just unpleasant, and that's why people don't post, or leave the forum. Genuine discussion is fine, but if we get a load of personal sniping it ends up with deleted posts, and then the mods get it in the neck for interfering! [&:] Simon, people are put on approval only after a long series of posts needing attention, then through the process of group discussion within the forum volunteers and personal talks with the guy. We've had to deal with a couple of really nasty people over the last ten years, including threats of kneecapping someone from a forum user we knew had military experience. We've also had a rather sinister anti-Semitic poster, and promises of physical violence to the moderators. It's not an easy job! That's the background to why these decisions are taken, but it's above the moderator's remit to revoke an approval status. That's something that needs board-level approval, for good reasons, and there's a perfectly good appeal process if anyone wants to use it. I'd say it's a no-brainer if someone wants to ask, but that's probably better left to them to decide, isn't it? If I'd fallen foul of some over-zealous rules I'd prefer to deal with it privately. []
