Hi Tony Good idea just sent Xtradry an e-mail telling him about the problems with RCU. He asked me for help about a post I did then he translated it to German and posted it for the guys on Panzerketten .Hope this dosnt get him in the *rap .

  regards pete

ok pete, will get on it tomorrow, i dont think any one will get in trouble over there, on PK  they are pretty cool about things like this, and for the most part they are a decent bunch of blokes like on here, so i dont see a problem

Would you believe it? It also appears that they've taken a dislike to our 1-16th IRAD badge I used as my RCU avatar! I've written to RCKen (one of the RCU moderators) to ask why my badge/avatar has been removed and to explain that the badge has nothing to do with a rival forum - its a new UK based RC Tank club badge for heaven's sake!  :-\  I've also asked why my PM function has been disabled. I'll post his reply here.

BTW it has been quite hard to contact a moderator on RCU as it says you are supposed to send them a PM!!!!    Good one!

Cheers
Chris

they are getting sadder by the second
don't hold your breathe about getting a reply from them
I can not even get into the forums as a guest now just get the blank white page

sounds to me like the admin and mods of the site have lost track of why they are doing the job, language and blatant abuse should not be tollerated at all.
PM functions, if the forum is set up how I think it is set up then PM CAN be read by admins and mods, this function is by rights only supposed to be used if someone is getting abuse ect from another member via PM, and should not be used otherwise, (a private message is a private message afterall).
advertising another forum, most forums do not allow advertising of other forums, especially in the case of the "other" forum, probably due to the fact that they get money per click, if a rival forum takes away members than that money will not be coming in.
as for removing a whole thread, Im sorry but there is no need to remove a whole thread if it is not all advertising a rival forum, admins and mods do have tools to edit posts and threads, and those tools should be used to "tidy" the thread if need be and a post made by the admin/mod on the thread or a pm to explain why the thread/post has been edited.

As far as Abuse is concerned, that should be stopped straight away, if it allowed to happen the forum gets a bad name, people start to be wary, if not scared of posting, the forum eventually dies. By the sound of things the admins and mods of the nasty forum need to get their priorities/shop in order, but then I personally am not bothered if they do or not as I am a member of a very good, polite and informative forum right here and wouldn't want to go to a nasty forum like that if I was paid to.

very true madfox as youve read most of us that started there got booted out when this forum got going

we were a threat and they kicked us out
but the funny thing is we seem to be getting more signups from them anyway so in my book they have actually done us a huge favour so to RCken a heartfelt CHEERS MATEY 

i know i dont miss it just a shame some of the good guys from there havent got here (YET )

Being an american I understand political correct behavior,it is destroying our country and it is everywhere.They are threatend by this forum so as liberails they attacked what they cannot understand.This forum is people driven and supported openly by the members without vender advertisment.They must attack any thing that threatens there servival,and this being a self supporting forum threatens there servival.That is why I support this forum, it's about people enjoying a hobby and supporting each other and not supporting some company advertising crap and bowing to the political correct behavior to mantain the advertising support.enough for now,I don't want to go overboard and release my full european american heritage which is not politicaly correct in my own country. forgive the spelling,not really my strong piont,SAXONDOG.

i know that a couple of the boys were banned from the site, and not too long ago i tried to delete my profile as i did not want to be a member of the forum any longer and found i wasn't allowed to do it, the only way i could get it deleted was to question a certain moderators parentage the post was on for all of 30 seconds and guess what..........i got banned
