I gotta ask, what happened to Conrad 16.5?

[theblooms]

He was banned a just few days ago. What in the world happened?

He was banned on July 9th. He had already received warnings in the past for antagonizing other members, and received a final warning after one member decided to leave the forum after an interaction with Conrad 16.5. Things were ok for a while until that incident on the 9th, when he was antagonizing another member yet again. We posted warnings in the thread again, and he ignored them twice, which led to the ban. Here's the post.

He was very confident that the residue in question, at the top portion of the engine bay was the result of mud getting splashed up from undercarriage. If he had attempted any work under the car or at least peeked into the wheel wells, he would have found obstacles making that unlikely.

well I don't know...I know when i go through rain and puddles i get the same type of residue...while it seems it would be impossible that is exactly what happens to my 2023 turbo..some how it finds it 's way up there....for the record I detail the engine compartment about once a month and never let it go longer than a couple months..not sure how it gets there but it does....I kind of thought the op provoked it but maybe not.

If it is rain and other elements of nature then we have nothing to worry about. I have been traumatized by coolant leaks on three of my cars, two old, one modern, which definitely changed my perspectives.

It really doesn't matter whether he was right or not. What's unacceptable is the behaviour. There were better, more respectful ways to disagree or further clarify his position. Instead, he chose to antagonize - something he'd been warned about in the past.

Conrad was a good member. Sure he overreacted on that post, but in all fairness, OP was being a bit ridiculous, I think.

You're entitled to your own opinion, but I will say that the decision to ban was not a knee-jerk reaction. It was based on his past history, his disregard of the mod team's warnings, and most importantly, his conduct towards some other members.

Unlike other forums, it doesn't matter how long you've been here or what you've contributed to the forum. We have clear rules of conduct for using this forum, and sometimes the site admins and the moderators need to take action to prevent things from getting out of hand.

I have personally not seen his previous remarks, so I did not have the full picture. I understand.
