Hi everyone have you seen the posts from the Explore Aus Team latley here is the email account at hotmail exploreausteamdavid@hotmail.com - Some people have way to much time on there hands.
I have baned this address no doubt the
peron concerned will come back as someone else - please keep your eyes out and let me know. This is actually the next instance of rubbish from hotmail accounts that I had previously thought about banning hotmail accounts. Still holding out on that one at the moment.
BTW: For all the people who thought the pussy/cat in the bush post deletion was not the right thing to do, I suspect that this rubbish is from the same persons. I guess we took to right action and deleted it when we did. Sorry if you think we were wrong but guess what we have been doing this for a few years now and we know the indicators of idiots and we took the action based on our experience. As I have said before - if you are not happy with our rules here do not post.Regards

G'day David and Michelle,
I have no issue with you deleting posts or banning addresses. Your site is definitely the best 4x4
forum there is as I have been on a few but have left as there were too many idiot posts on them.
We have had some lively discussions here on EO in the past but 99.9% of the time readers and posters show a degree of respect for one another and different points of view.
I have actually met some EO forumites in person and in Victoria there are a number who go out on trips together.
Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by negative comments on the removal of posts.
Cheers,
WillieWillie
Never a dull moment

Thanks Willie,
I am not discouraged just disappointed that I have to waste so much time on this. I want to write new things for users and members (in the limited time I have) not have to sit and watch the
forum for idiots.
Thanks for the support. Glad you guys are getting together and having a good time that is after all what is is about.Regards

It's your site David, so you run it the way you choose.
I'm a happy member, get heaps of good hints and tips, visit it pretty
well daily, enjoy the banter from so many of the participants, but acknowledge that there is a "lunatic fringe" who like to try and spoil a good thing. They are everywhere .. on the 'Net, in normal life, and even in Government.
Its your call - and keep up the good work. It is an invaluable site for me.

Please dont tell me that it is school holiday time again,,,sorry to be cynical but it seems to be the same sort of problem time and time again, Perhaps the solution is to BAN the " freebie " hotmail ect; and only accept posts from previously registered legit addresses,,,, Our Truckster is a bit of a computer wiz, surely he has some thoughts and a possible solution to this ,,,???????

Ah yes but Truckster uses a hotmail address as his primary registered address. The answers to this are not easy. Travellers register hotmail because it is easy and convienent whilst travelling, I do not want to stop this BUT, I am sick of wasting time.
Mrs lyn - Came up with one idea that I am thinking about. We will see what happens.
I was thinking it must be school holidays, however I do not think it is. Regards

My suggestion is that David gets a sainthood, he must have the patience of a saint to put up with the morons.
As a side, I too was concerned about spam, so I used an alias email attached to my paid account. That way if I get spammed I can kill the address.
Allso most ISPs allow web-mail access to POP accounts, TPG and bigpond do evan a small bloke in
Whyalla SA does. I still
check my account from there even after being out of Why-allah for a year. I prefer to use web-mail access to POP rather then hotmail so I don't need to remeber too many passwords.

I think David must be a closet Land Rover owner he's so patient. Not because Land Rovers are trying, but because of some of the nutters we have to put up with on forums (not on Exploroz of course!) and on the roads.
Keep up the good work David....... ban everything abusive about Landies, sexually explicit or suggestive, racist or just down right ignorant about anything else.
