I also have respect for Ed, I have nothing against him at all but I don't think his judgement on this is correct and it's a big reason the board is as bad it is right now. the decision to ban Park though was bang on. good work that man. I agree too many people to please and we should really tow the line. No need to take it out on others. Leo is your friend ask-leo.com/how_do_i_shred_individual_emails_in_microsoft_outlook.html

I'm sick of it, I get enough shit at work with egotistical pricks and then I have to read the bile that comes from the tips of their fingers on C&B. I had to be very careful not to get personally abusive towards them because they're completely ruining what once was a great message board. Insane Clown thinks he's untouchable as the powers that be seem to have just given him free reign. I love that every now and again he claims not to be Duckworth, as if the twat forgets that I was a mod on there and so saw his private info like his IP address, email address etc. I had all 3 amigos on ignore for just over a week and nearly every thread was nonsense because they all post so much. The place is really becoming joke with Bronco, Cougar and Duckworth mainly contributing to it's demise. If Ed doesn't get a hold on it soon, I have no doubt he will pull the plug much sooner rather than later. I've said this before but what Ed's done by allowing those two back is tantamount to vandalising his own forum. I no longer have any sympathy for him when he complains that the place isn't worth the hassle. He flushed the turds then inexplicably dug them out from beyond the U-bend and smeared them all over his own walls. His fuck up; he gets to live with the consequences. Also the accusations against us were clearly trumped up hence the complete lack of any specifics. If he wants any or all of us gone all he has to do is ban us. I'm starting to suspect he actually likes the drama despite his protestations to the contrary.

100%. Guys a bell of the highest order. I drafted an email to the club a while back stating his online presence was detrimental to the image the club is trying to cultivate. I'm getting ever closer to pressing send. that letter was shredded. i own the shredder. Shredding and kit washing? You're wasted down there.

Totally wasted. Staring at the tumble dryer while trying to think up a witty username.

Crack on. anyway - as far as C&B goes - its gone downhill quickly - but imagine thinking the solution to this is to disable ratings rather than just ban the three cranks that ruin it and drag it down. it's just delusion and naivety on Ed's part. I have a lot of respect for Ed, the amount of money and time he's put into that forum is phenomenal, BUT I think his judgement is somewhat clouded. Banning Bronco and/or Cougar would be admitting that allowing them back on was a mistake, and Duckworth seems to have some weird hold on him. Despite 'The Usual Suspects' toning things down massively, especially the likes of Tawheed and yourself there still seems to be a bit of animosity towards you al, and park's still banished to the T&A comments despite being nowhere near as disruptive or annoying as the three amigos. Why did you quit in the end? Was it the shit you were getting, Bronco's return or a combination of both?

Mainly Bronco's return. As Lofty will agree, Bronco split the mods as much as he splits the rest of C&B. Sticks and myself were the one's who always pushed for a ban, Abbo liked Bronco so was always against it, Ed seemed to flip flop between either side and the rest were fairly neutral. Without Sticks to back me up I was fighting a losing battle. I made my feelings clear when Ed suggested he be allowed back on (I even asked if I could use my sock puppets to swing the vote). At no point did I mention stepping down or issue any ultimatums, but it was clear when it went to a public vote what the outcome would be. The problem with Bronco is that he NEVER admits he is in the wrong, and always plays the innocent party. The amount of times I had to PM him about the crap he was getting up to and he'd always argue he'd done nothing wrong even though it was here for all to see. The reported posts, the deleted posts, the edited posts, the stupid arguments, I just couldn't be arsed going through all that again when we'd actually finally gotten rid of him. Also, as a mod you have to try and be impartial, and can't say what you really think about certain people. You can't go on a little wind up or intentionally annoy someone just for the hell of it. I wanted to have a bit of fun again, so I PM'd ED and told him I was stepping down. I then demoted myself in the admin panel and changed my username - and don't regret it for a second.

Fucking hell...who'd of thought being a MOD (Not the Scooter types) was so bloody hard?! Trying to be as impartial as possible is probably the hardest part I bet.

It's easy to blame 'TUS' when in reality without Bronco and Cougar there are minimal petty spats.
Other posters have similar issues with them but that gets conveniently ignored.

Out of interest where did the name "The Usual Suspects" come from if anywhere? Or has it something that's just stuck over time.

Everytime he mentioned Hanson he'd go on about how the "usual suspects" won't agree. He was asked to name these "usual suspects" many times but never did. We then just labelled ourselves to annoy him. Childish but amusing.
