Continued disregard of rules, Permaban in place.
 

As a result of serious and continuous rule breaking by Trevor in the recent past, it was decided by a majority vote of administrators and moderators that Trevor was to be permanently banned.

In deference to Trevor's eminence on the Network Forums, particularly in engineering matters, it was agreed that the ban would not be put into effect provided that he continued to post within the rules of the forum.

The team of administrators and moderators has now decided that Trevor's posting style as shown in recent threads is too confrontational and is in permanent disregard of the Rules for Posting. It is with regret that we now put the permanent ban into place.

Baiters will also be punished.

Can't say I didn't see this coming. But I am also glad moderators have noticed the baiters here.

Re: Continued disregard of rules, Permaban in place.
 

Im curious.... on a thread Trevor and Keith were going at it, I mentioned something about them being married, to highlight their daily squabbling in what I thought was a funny non-confrontational way.

Would this be considered baiting, despite the fact I have shared no ill will with either of them? Im not sure I understand the term "baiting" as well as maybe I should.

Re: Continued disregard of rules, Permaban in place.
 

Regardless of the terminology, I think we could all use a break from the squabbles and instead post more useful, coherent threads that will encourage current and future owners that we are a valuable resource and community as a viable SVX enthusiast/owners club.

Nevermind, I got the definition from the dictionary.

Re: Continued disregard of rules, Permaban in place.
 

His writing style was so precise and his vocabulary so eloquent that it almost seemed non-combative.
I found the squabbling quite amusing but also a little bothersome. He will in some ways be missed.

Guys I hope you didn't see me as baiting him I just trying to make some humor out of his replies so he would calm down.

Baiter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A baiter is someone in an Internet discussion group who deliberately posts aggravating messages on a message board. Often, this is part of a previous conflict between the baiter and the baiter's intended target.

Baiters are different from Flamers because they do not directly insult their target; instead, they post something likely to aggravate him/her.

nevermind, misunderstood the first post.

Re: Continued disregard of rules, Permaban in place.
 

So me asking Keith if he wanted to marry Trevor WAS baiting :lol: even if it were meant in the kindest way, I suppose..

Ugh really? My car would not be turbocharged without Trevor.

Hello lads.

This seems a shame to me, as I have spoken to Trevor and met his wife when I was in Auckland earlier in the year.

I have intentionally stayed out of any squabbles taking place, but do not find them at all offensive or particularly damaging to the forum.

Trevor is a very well educated, passionate SVX enthusiast with substantial engineering knowledge. To lose his expertise from the forum will only hurt the rest of us here that have not got our emotions involved. This to me, seems more like a conflict of personalities, rather than a continued flaunting of the forum rules.

SVX owners by definition are interesting, 'left of centre' people. To shun a fellow member because of personality is absurd.

Well taking into consideration the committed and non committed members to this forum, Trevor was one of those who are really committed, and it is a shame to loose him especially with our "shrinking" society.

The case of Trevor is really really curious, to an extent that one wonders, why is this happening and why he is behaving like this?

Michael, I exchanged a lot of PMs with Trevor over the past few years, sometimes when he was quarreling with someone on the main, and I kindly asked him to cool it down and everything but he wouldn't listen. I can clearly say that I saw this coming... and I can understand a misunderstanding with a member, maybe with another and another... but not everybody.

Probably the way he addresses people should be rephrased into a softer tone and everything will be OK. His last encounter was with YT and I think this is what triggered his ban.

Trevor is a great loss, but maybe this is for the benefit of all?

Re: Continued disregard of rules, Permaban in place.
 

I think you pretty much covered it all. I never had an issue with Trevor but often a useful thread would become nothing but an argument and attempts to prove something wrong (not always Trevor at fault here).

Re: Continued disregard of rules, Permaban in place.
 

I am surprised, as lately I have felt that he was the one constantly being insulted and attacked for little or no reason.

But I must admit is was pretty annoying when the thread degenerated into a pissing match, with each trying to get in the last jab.
