The topic was going completely off track, hense why it was locked, sorry if you guys wanna slag each other off, then thats up to you, but as a moderator, i have too. i get slagged off for removing single posts, and Now i lock a thread because someone is taking the pi$$.
i cant win :angry:
Tis a fine line and a pain. I would edit his posts out if he persists but put a replacement comment saying why. You're doing a good job though Mcavity.

....wellzee - I'd just like to add that sometimes when posts are extreme in their poor spelling and punctuation and use nothing but txt-speak, the possibly useful information simply cannot be understood. It's often just laziness and (hopefully!) rarely illiteracy.
Also, we must be allowed to meander slightly from topics for the odd moment or two, otherwise it would get very very dull and far too nerdy in my opinion. A forum needs healthy and amusing banter as well as dry information.

i apologise if my posts are abit down on the spelling and grammer but im dyslexic :embarassed:Joe if you are dyslexic there is no need to finish your sentence with that smiley. This one is more appropiate. :smug:

It is a perfect example of why sharpie was misguided with his comment's. and why we all should just think a little bit before we dive in with both feet. :embarassed:
...and the 'Preview' facility too... do you guys use the spell checker as well, I wonder :wink:
im gona add to this since i was envolved with Joe...
the language in the thread from Joe and everyone was perfectly legible and didnt digress into 'txt speak' at all, i think we are missing the point here, basically Sharpie was just out to cause abit of friction which Phil dealt with case closed!! no need to harp on about punctuation or spelling, its a forum for godsake, not a dissertation......... :angry:

On a Mac, F12 brings up many converters including a dictionary, but Apple is American and so is the spelling. I have a large Oxford Dictionary in the kitchen/dining room.
TC get yourself a mac with safari browser it auto spell checks as you type and underlines the words in red like word does in windows :smiley:

Thats not very nice :cry: :cry:
Im still gonna buy it.
Are you having a rant Newgolf If you ask about merc's on a golf GTI site people will tell you how much better there GTI is. This is not the place to get neutral answer's Just like people asking about Vauxhall's :huh:It would have, its got more power than standard, weighs less and has a whacking great turbo on it.

Sigh....
Ohh I'd better go out and buy a GTR as its faster.. oh no wait, its Japanese, guzzles fuel and likey to get nicked while touring europe :wink:
Oh no, wait, I'd better waste some cash on modifying a standard car to the point the gearbox plays up and it becomes unreliable.
Not only will it be unreliable, I'll have a job to sell it on, the residual value will be a lot less and it will need constant replacement parts/tuning....
But hey, its faster lol.

Also not called for, I just asked if anyone knew where to go for a decent Merc forum. I dont have a choice, SWMBO want one and thats it. Instead, I have comments like that which is frankly tedious, one of the reasons I ignore the "what car have you beaten in your GTI". Other forums mock that type of thread, especially posts by modified ED30 owners. I now see their point.
Fish and chippy chips TC, you mate?
Healthy debate is :cool: but this is going to turn into the evening's entertainment we all know how this one will go.

So you are telling me that you weren't fishing with that comment?
Or intimating that the 350 and AMG are FASTER and better than a GTI?
Come on Newgolf, don't try p!ssing on someone's bonfire when you've just posted the fuel! :wink:

In a friendly tone, so as not misconstrued. :smiley:
Not at all Hurdy, mine was a tongue in cheek friendly, (but factual by the way) comment back to Mike, whos posts are always funny and interesting.
He was, by the way, referring to a standard GTI. (Which has a 0-62 in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 145mph).
I was referring to the 350SLK, Which has a 0-62 in 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 155mph electronically restricted. Thats from the showroom, by the way, no additional parts added, and it will do this day in, day out. Hence, they ARE faster than a GTI, AND the ED30. By over a second 0-62. :evil:
Going further, an AMG 55 SLK has a 0-62 in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 155mph again electronically restricted.
From memory, a STANDARD ED30 has a 0-62 in 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 151mph.
There was never any mention of "fishing", "pi$$ing" or "better than" as you mention it, intended or otherwise. You really shouldn't read things that aren't there :smiley:
Of course a GTI would kill an SLK, the only one being a 200 Kompressor.
No one mentioned ED30 and their total road dominance, (Next i'll hear Audi have now dumped their V8 FSI from the R8 and just used a remapped ED30 ?? :wink:) WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE FAST, move on it gets boring hearing about how they beat Lewis Hamilton on the way to Tesco's in his Ferrari etc...
I'm not going to comment any further as I'm finding "mines faster than yours" a little tedious.
Oh apart fromA Mercedes SLK 350 "Hairdressers" car, is faster than a standard ED30, even with the roof down MUHAHAHAHAHAHA...
I have no choise, I've been told she's having one. :undecided: Many arguements later I've given in for a quieter life. :embarassed:
I was having my batcave built this year, saved up for ages, dug the foundations and all. Looks like its a lot later next year now. Back to doing overtime it seems, but hey!
Apologies if I sounded prickly, I didn't mean to, its just been a sore point this damn car. :rolleyes:

yes Officer dibble is getting his keys out to do you know what to this topic! :laugh:
it seems to be waffling abit now, topics start off and then we all seem to talk about things totally irelevant to topic heading.
I could start cleaning up, but would most proberly upset the locals. I like a good laugh , and are abit of a joker as people that have met
know i am. But we need to sort this, or we could loose interested members

Im affraid I disagree with deleting threads... if your not interested in the topic or feel it is straying off the point then simply dont read it! How much more simple could it be. This is a forum where users should feel free to post whatever they like.
I think the banter is what keeps the regulars coming back. All the information that anyone could ever require about the V is there if you want it. With newbies excluded many just can't be ar$ed to search for it! So why tailor a forum for people who come on and take just the info they need with out ever being helpful to others? MAKE THEM READ OUR CR4P!! :evil:

going slightly off topic is fine as long as the original question is answered but in some cases it goes so far off topic it becomes annoying
i'm all for a bit of banter too but if the information gets lost in the threads you put people off sticking around
....The "mkv gti-24bhp" thread is a perfect example of the lack of moderation which sometimes happens on this site.
There's a happy balance but if it gets too much I unsubscribe the thread and don't bother to read - In doing so, further possibly useful contribution is lost.

I have to disagree with you there Red, Hurdy deletes " inappropriate reply s" but doesn't make a song and dance about it iv'e spotted a couple lately, this imho works well instead of locking threads.
there is a huge variety of people on here ranging from people who want to know how a fuel pump work's to people wanting to turn there front end into Kit off Knight rider.Even if i started a thread surely it is not up to me how people answer it.
I am pretty sure over controlling thread's will turn people off more than thread's going off topic. :sad:
