MikeC: so not only now Rikki’s little lap dog, but also sets an a good example to everyone on the site by participating in some childish trolling. Well done Mike!! Here, have a biscuit, good boy!

I genuinley don’t understand. Whats wrong? Personal details are ok or they’re not. Should i check with you first to see if its ok to publish your Facebook page? Thats a luxury the original you tube video guy never got, or should we just ask some people. Do you want me to remove my link to your facebook page. I really don’t understand.

Mike C get it correct FFS , IT’S YOUTUBE NOT YOU TUBE , YOU TUBE :laughing: :laughing:

Well as comprehension does not appear to be one of your strong points I shall spell it out for you Mr. Campbell. My comment that you felt necessary to jump on was not in reply to you nor directed at you, but yet you chose to act like Rikki’s personal bodyguard and get all high and mighty about it. If you bother to pull your head out of Rikki’s arse and clear his ■■■■ out of your eyes you will notice that I have not commented one way or the other with regards the posting of the YTers details, simply because I couldn’t give a flying ■■■■.

As for your question asking me if I would like you to remove the link to the facebook page, why the ■■■■ would I care? For some bizarre reason you clearly think that I do, which is even more bizarre seeing as it is not my page and nothing to do with me whatsoever as I’ve never even used facebook (as you are already well aware from previous discussions).

Ever since you were given moderator status you’ve been scoffing Rikki’s power trip pills and acting like his little lap dog defending everything he says and does. It really doesn’t suit you Michael and you should go back to nicking Tesco cages from trailers and flogging them to your equally bent mate - that was much more your thing.

Think that’s a bit of an over reaction.

An over reaction by Rikki Chequer? And you are surprised? Shirley not. :unamused:

No not RC, by the poster immediately above my comment, Mike-C

I think it would be a shame to ban youtube links, they are often useful and/or entertaining.

However, if so, I would just say in a post, go to youtube and type in “relevant key words” so the readers would still see the clip. Might just as well of allowed the link.

I wonder why it doesn’t surprise me that he would phone you rather than apologising openly like a man :unamused:

I can understand why his address isn’t allowed to be used on this site but I’m struggling to see what rules have been broken by posting his name which he openly publishes on his Facebook page together with the video he thought was so funny that he felt compelled to comment “still laughing at this”.

He volunteered to have his name associated with the video when he posted the video on both his Youtube account and his Facebook page both of which are in his own name.

From the forum rules:

Posting home address’s, personal telephone numbers, car registrations or any other personal details that they havent volunteered/allowed to be posted is not allowed and will be removed without notice

Rule 6 Links to Other Websites.

Links such as your own homepage, a blog, or your online photo stash are allowed and can be included in the WWW bit in your profile or your signature.

Links to Commercial Sites which are blatant adverts are not allowed unless it is somewhere you’ve used in the past or are passing it on in response to a query and you have no connection to the company.

Links to other truck-related forums.

Posting a link for no reason other than to attract members to the site concerned is Spamming in our view, so is not allowed.

What happens on other sites stays on other sites so posting another sites business on this site is also not allowed.

That’s nonsense, he chose to post a truck related video on the Internet which is legitimate subject matter for the PDF, furthermore he chose to put his name to the video both on Youtube and Facebook, presumably in a vain and rather stupid attempt to raise his public profile on the Internet at the expense of a lorry driver.

The discussion has been about the subject matter of the video that he chose to link his name to, there’s no reason at-all why his name should not have been used as he’d already published it publicly on both Facebook and Youtube.

Again, there is nothing in the forum rules that prevents his details being mentioned in posts as he’s already made it public on both Youtube and Facebook and by doing so volunteered his name to be published.

By your definition of the forum rules we should not discuss articles that appear on the BBC News website for instance, because what happens on other sites should stay on other sites.
By your definition of the forum rules we should not have been allowed to mention Jimmy Saville or Gary Glitter or in fact anyone else who’s mentioned on that website because what happens on other sites should stay on other sites.

It’s sad to see that Trucknet-UK has come to the point where a pair of morons who watch and film a road accident involving a truck driver, albeit a pretty poor truck driver, just so they can report him to the police and post the video on the Internet gets more credit than the members here.

I am of cause assuming that there really was a bridge strike, because there’s nothing in that video that I saw to prove it actually happened :unamused:

The attitude of the people making that video was appalling to say the least, they hoped to see an accident involving a truck driver and a railway bridge and made no attempt to stop it happening, in fact they laughed and gloated whilst they waited for the accident to unfold, how sorry they must have been that the accident wasn’t worse than it turned out to be, and yet they get the sympathy and support of not only the Trucknet-UK management but also the mods who are themselves mostly lorry drivers, in fact they get the support of Trucknet-UK management and mods to the point where the rules appear to be changed just to hide their identities.

Mike-C:
But in plain simple terms trucknet doesn’t want to involved with the likes of this what just went on.

Trucknet-UK does not want to be involved in a truck related story, so what the [zb] is trucknet-UK about :confused:

Mike-C:
I’d personally just ban the posting of youtube links if it was up to me. I find them a pain in the arse. If i want to see whats on you tube i can just go there, i don’t need anyone here to post some crap snap and ask for comments. Its all available where it is on you tube. Maybe we should just ditch the you tube links?

That’s fine there’s nothing wrong with you not wanting to see Youtube videos, but unless I’ve missed something this site is not just about you, is it ?

107

The video was uploaded to another website not here. the persons name was not posted here by him - nor was his personal facebook details . people used search engines to investigate and find out. . Some members here decided to follow those links and referencing this thread and website, post abusive and in a couple cases threatening messages to the person and his partner. That sort of behaviour directly linked back to this website is unacceptable to the websites owners.

What happens on You Tube and is said there is a matter for the moderators at You Tube not here, We have no problem with the video being discussed or even with the attitude displayed by those making it… what we will not facilitate is a virtual lynch mob being organised on here to go there or any other site and conduct such behaviour.

You will notice the discussion of the video and the attitude of those making it is still here- all that has been removed is the identifying details.

because a few members cant restrain themselves and act in a adult and civilised manner the persons details will not be allowed to be posted again on here, In my view some of the comments made elsewhere and the actions of some members are just as bad as the actions of the person who made this video, That makes those few members here no better than they are .

Non of the moderating team act in isolation, all moderators can and do comment on and discuss issues that arise on the forums and any actions taken. If the team feel any action was incorrect it is reversed, in this case Mike’s actions are supported by the team as correct.

If people insist on trying to repost those details this thread will simply dissapear and the entire discussion will be lost, and that would be a shame but the volunteer team do not have the time to babysit it.

I personally think Facebook is the worst thing thats happened to the 21st century. It causes so much hassle and agro, people now days are too involved with other people’s lives, it’s so sad people trying to get one up on each other with statuses and pictures of “how great their lives are”.
It runs people’s lives bless them.
I’m glad I’m off it.

109

never been on it…what`s it for :question:

Somewhat agree, even though I’m on it. Visit about once a week.

For the most part I agree, but it’s not the social networking sites that’s at fault it’s some of the morons that use them.

When I say “morons” I’m referring to the people who use social networking sites to abuse the Internet, regardless of whether they’re posting videos that show what total pricks they really are, or posting threatening comments about such videos, even if sometimes people do bring it on themselves :unamused:

112

Facebook will cause trouble if you allow it to but if thats all you think it is then all im seeing is a total lack of imagination .
Its not the same as it was a couple of years ago and has far more to it than that .

This was discussed a couple of weeks ago and i said then that you can pretty much keep up with an interest on it now and not get involved with all the ■■■■■ side of it .

I have an interest in transport history and i’ve learned far more on Facebook that anywhere else , if all you see is trouble then thats what you’ll see . You dont ever have to post anything if you wish not to , there are two sides to it if you look properly . HTH :wink:

113

People don’t usually “leave” facebook (delete their account) until they are in big crap because of it.
I understand a certain two aussie DJ’s have deleted their accounts for example… :unamused:

Yeah that was sad. What a waste.
I personally left Facebook because of females. I was constantly given ■■■■, who’s this, who’s that, why is she commenting on your photo, what does that wink mean etc etc
And I’m a single bloke!!!

I wasn’t meaning the truck related story. I meant to publishing his name here, his location, his birds name. Re producing their photographs of them here. Thats what i’m talking about.Maybe you never seen it, i’ve no idea.

A. Facebook is a pile of ■■■■■■ Nothing more than a forum for everyone with a better/more exciting life than you to constantly throw it in your face, and remind you how crap yours is.

B. The knob-end filming this should be prosecuted and forced to perform some sort of community service. When you know someone is obliviously heading for imminent danger, and the cost to you of preventing it is zero, you do not just stand by and wait for them to go down. Especially not with a smarmy laugh, a grin on your face, and a bloody camera rolling. :unamused:

FarnboroughBoy11:

Really?

Much worse things have happened in the last twelve years. I could list them, but I can’t be arsed. I think you need a reality check.

I hope this helps.

I’ve been on Facebook for years and never had any grief, I do nothing wrong so have nothing to worry about, if I see a friend with a bigger/better house/car/TV/job etc. I think good on em, well done. I’m happy so don’t look at others with envious eyes, I do have friends and family that aren’t local that I can easily keep in touch with easily thanks to Facebook :smiley:

P.S. may I give you a little advice on women?? The ones that give you grief regarding who’s commenting/liking your photos/statuses are unstable and not good for anything than emptying your sacks, if not Facebook it would be someone you speak to or smile at in the street or pub that would trigger their jealousy, in short, use them but don’t expect anything other than ■■■ n grief :grimacing:

Sorry I misunderstood what you was meaning.

I did see the picture in this thread and frankly saw no problem with it, for many people social networking sites are an integral part of todays society and people should realise that if they leave obnoxious videos to be seen by anyone who chooses to look they are basically doing it in public, I’m not suggesting that anyone who puts videos on Youtube or Facebook should be publicly identified in forums, but when the video and apparent reasoning behind the video is as obnoxious as the one we’re discussing the video publishers leave themselves wide open to public ridicule.

If someone stood on a street corner and watched an accident take place whilst making no attempt to stop it then started shouting about how good it is that someone’s had an accident and he’s filmed it and is going to call the police and grass the driver up, why would anyone be surprised that the bloke got verbally attacked and ridiculed, this is basically what that bloke did so I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.

If you deliberately do anti-social and obnoxious things in public or that can and probably will be seen by the general public then you have to accept the consequences, it really is that simple as far as I’m concerned.

Obviously it’s up-to the forum owners and manager/mods what’s allowed on TN, but I still maintain that posting links to the story and including links to the video on both Youtube and Facebook did not breech any of the forum rules, nor did identifying the pricks who made the video, they chose to make the video public and have it linked to their identities no-one forced them to.

Having said that, whilst I saw a few of the comments on Youtube I didn’t read many, I didn’t see anything relating to TN in the few comments I read, but if abusive and threatening comments were made and directly referenced to TN it was clearly wrong, I can easily understand why the owners/manager/mods of this site would object to that happening.

Inviting someone to see what people think of their antics on a public forum is one thing, but making abusive and threatening comments on a site and relating them to TN or any other unrelated public forum/site is obviously wrong and unacceptable.

That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it, and it has to be said that this thread and the comments made on Youtube seem to have got that video taken down :grimacing:

^^^^This

Facebook is a medium for people with very little intelligence to tell other people with equally small amounts of intelligence how great their life is, while they all sycophantically comment in a completely disingenuous way.

I would ban FB tomorrow if I could, as it is one of the biggest wastes of time anywhere.
