Team Adam's Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) A friendly reminder that any attempt to misrepresent yourself, deceive the members of AF, create multiple accounts, soliciting business via private message, and threatening the forum moderators or Adam's staff in any way will result in an immediate and permanent ban. We want AF to stay the harmonious and fun place to hang out and discuss detailing, cars, and anything else that goes along with the hobby. Recently a member decided to become a disruptive presence here on the forum. The moderation team received multiple complaints about this member, but did our best to steer them in the right direction. After all we want everyone to enjoy the experience here, so giving guidance to a relative newcomer about appropriate behavior is just part of it. We do appreciate the feedback we get from the members, so thank you to those who sent PM's about the issues. We try to read every post in every thread, but thats not always possible so your helps is appreciated. Thanks to some information brought to our attention by a member on another forum, it was discovered that not only was this member a disruptive presence, but he was actively deceiving the members here. Posting identical content on another companies forum and stating the details were performed with their products and within minutes doing the same here, but changing the product names to Adam's products. Not entirely sure what the motivation is or was, but in the end its an active attempt to deceive the membership, and given the complaints it became necessary to remove this member from the forum. This individual also chose to resort to threats against the AF staff as well as creating multiple user ID's here to attempt to subvert the rules. I post this purely as a reminder and an example of what we DON'T want here on AF. I'd like to think we are a generally harmonious and easy-to-get-along with group. Most forums I'm a part of have members banned on a regular basis, and luckily our little corner of the net is generally an easy place to be, full of people from a variety of backgrounds, age groups, industries, and car cultures. I thank all of you for your continued participation here and the great contributions you all make. I think our community is truly a unique one here on the web and its thanks to the quality of the character of our members that it stays that way. Thanks for reading and thanks for being a part of AdamsForums.com, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

JHL88 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 This place is a great community to be a part of. I belong to numerous other forums and i feel like AF doesn't even compare to them with the hospitality & help of this forum. I can think of one forum in particular that I used to go on religiously and now i hardly even stop by because of the immature and free-for-all attitudes they portray. Very judgmental and i can't stand it. Redbeard and MAYBEN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camaro2ssblack Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Does this mean there won't be any more third-person self narratives about understanding certain members? Lol. Any posts starting with "Ive been detailing for 30 years...." should result in an immediate ban. matts88yj, Mongosg8, ihaveacamaro and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKazzle Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I saw this thread and knew exactly who it was about. I had a funny feeling about that character with all the suspicious questions and the talking in circles. I also couldn't stand the fact that he did not ever spell "advice" correctly. matts88yj, Team Adam's and 378 Pete 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryC Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Moderating forums is all I know. 11 years at it. I'm very good at what I do. Gerry Question, Dylan, how do you do something as simple as post a reply to a topic, which someone with my claimed experience should know how to do in their sleep? I need to know so I can get back to running my billion dollar multinational equity firm and still have time to detail cars on the side.
