I'm sure he's learnt his lesson and hopefully all's blown over!
Can he be released please "the powers that be"?
I'm happy to write a catchy theme song if that would help?

I'm starting a one-man campaign to get Worx back on the forum!
I'm sure he's learnt his lesson and hopefully all's blown over!

Sounds like a silly argument really. Lets hope they resolve it quickly and allow everyone back on (complete with the right status).
I am struggling to see why Worx was banned, as I can't see what he did wrong. I appreciate he helped someone change a photo on his profile, but
so what!? I hope everyone concerned manages to climb down from their high-horses before you all fall off!
hmm if you look up his last post. It say’s 'offline' rather than 'Banned', which would lead me to the conclusion that he's not.

yeah baby!
"FRREEEE eeeee Worx Mandela! 12 days in captivty, (brake) Shoes too small to fit his feet (pedals)
His (car) body abused, but his mind is still free
You're so blind that you cannot see....."
WTF!
was that the lyrics? I thought you'd had some sort of mental breakdown It was just awful 
i think chris is EVIL HA HA HA HA (evil laugh ?)
or maybe just upset with people telling him how to run his site, after all if you dont like it he isnt forcing you to log on, i had troble with trader
status myself, didnt agree with it but after all its his rules on his site.
but come on "FREE WORX"
l=r33 //0r><!!1111
Well I've only offered nice helpful suggestions of which not a single one has ever been implemented or commented on by Chris. Indeed I’m
struggling to recall a single change to this site since I blessed it with my very first post (even this date is not celebrated which I take great
personal affront too).
Benzine what have you been taking?

As much as I hate a kangeroo court what was done to get him banned in the first place?

So Worx stood up for MB Customs chappy who was pissed because his R1 being advertised had been taken off because the big boss doesn't take
cheques....
Sounds like a playground pi$$ing competition to me
Surely wouldn't a sensible solution to be for MB Customs to send a cheque to Worx, Worx sends some paypal money to big boss Chris for MBC's
trader status (with "I'm sorry X X X" in the information section), then everyone's a winner, lovely jubbly, jobs a
good'un.
Then we can get on with the proper arguments in here like BECs vs CECs, torque vs BHP, blondes vs brunettes....
Or am I missing something 
In the words of Mag'

I DONT LIKE COCK FIGHTS
I have been un banned after my out burst about Malc and MB, but to my avail i have sent Chris a few u2u if he could do the same for Steve aka
worX.
Come on Chris mate, let him back on,.

Welderman- Now that IS a familar avatar...

i can sort of understand why MB CUSTOMS was banned, even if it is a bit harsh, it sets the standards doesnt it? if you let him off then the paid up
traders would have the right to be a bit annoyed
but i cant understand why WORX was banned, he wasnt personal or offensive he just put up a point of view with evidence to back it up surely that
doesnt derserve to be banned
it makes you think a bit more about what you write in your posts as to avoid going the same way.......

i wanted free stuff 
Time a line was drawn under the whole affair, I need to keep in contact with Mr Worx too....
http://www.guildofmotorendurance.co.uk/2008%206%20Hour/Entry%20pics.html
Check out the gezzers at number 6.
I'd too like to add my support for Worx to be reinstated.
I own a 6000+ user forum, and offer advertising to commerical bodies, which then pays my (large) hosting bill. Trade posts are allowed by consent of
the moderating team free of charge. We certainly don't see trade as freeloaders, rather an asset to the users that will provide a busier
forum....
Certainly steve is a valuable regular here, and I don't see what a ban will achieve in this instance?
All opinion of course!
James
well im going to make the 48 mile trip to see our lostco'builder Steve in an hour or so, after the kids have gone to bed the wife said .
We can talk kit cars and my Fury build .
Also got him some hair dye as he wants to go blonde!!.
I think he post something too much over the line?
Or U2U-ed something??
There was an advert in his undersign last post i've seen, was that the problem?
If Chris keeps this server on air by funding of the traders, i think it's fair to let them pay. A deal is a deal.
Hope they sort it out.

Is there any new news ChrisW on the campaign?
Worx is without e-food, e-water....
He's nearly e-wasting away!
(Yeah ok...still a LONG way off that one...)
I'm going to say this very quietly, but it seems a bit of an odd business model that ChrisW is following. The contributor thing / nag
screen seems odd to me. I paid up, but it must be over a year ago now. Does my contributor status last for ever? Do only new members contribute?
Presumably the level of income from that particular thing has dropped right down now.
Same with my MK owners club membership, I paid once, got a clear plastic card with a number stamped on it, but no expiry date. Am I am member for
ever?
Cheers
Mike
P.S. Bring back Worx.
I think the contributer thing is fair enough.
I dont know how much this site costs anyone to host, proberbly not a huge amount with the banner at the top right.
- However no one has to pay, and it doesnt really affect the functoinaly of the site if you dont. New members will join all the time.
- After 6months i paid up because i wanted to, and i thought it was proberbly fiar enough given it lasts forever.
The forum i co-run is totaly free to use, which in a way is how i feel it sort of should be on the internet.
- However we contantly get people offering to donate money, usally just after a glitch in the hosting, but for varous reasons its easier for the host
not to accept, and he's happy running it out of his pocket, as he set it up 5 years ago or so.
We have just started selling window stickers as well, also on-profit making, although not foc!

Aye - Steve (worx) is a good guy - does excellent, painstaking work & gave a lot to this online community. Hope he's not too offended by the
whole business ...

To clear up a few things...
1. Three people were banned over the 'incident'. None of these were Malc (owner of the company in question) himself. Two of the three were
allowed back on very quickly - around 36 hours if I remember correctly
2. Steve (worX) took it upon himself to use alternative usernames (Ares, A Nonny Mouse, etc) to stir up a load of trouble, and continue to promote his
'crusade', assuming I wouldn't work out it was him. It took me around half a day to go through all the fingerprint records, work out
what he'd been up to, and clean up the mess. Most of these posts were removed during this time
3. Malc then decided he'd poke two fingers up with a post about how much more traffic he'd had on his website. Lets face it, an improvement
over nothing isn't difficult. He is permanently banned, and his final post removed. If I have any reason to suspect he is posting under a
different name, he will be dealt with in the same way as calvinx was a little while back by my solicitor
4. The contributor scheme may be an odd business model, but this isn't a business. The site is run by myself, with help from Fozzie, as a hobby.
Each month the hosting bill is paid from my own pocket., and contributions keep my Paypal account topped up so I can buy bits and bobs off eBay for
my cars. However, there is no need to contribute if you do not wish to do so.
5. worX will be allowed back as/when I see fit. I know he has another user name which he uses for u2u, and is using another user's account to
post. Whilst this is going on, he will stay banned.
So, as you see, all is not as clear cut as you may think....
Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris... could you do me a favour and finally give me 'Contributor' status - I appreciate its a minor thing, but that pop-up page is a
right PITA!!!
Sorry for doing this on a thread, but I made a contribution about a year ago and you've ignored all my follow up emails, so what can I do!?

All i can say that i support decision to ban Malc - the 'victory' post was uncalled for. A bit like an athlete getting cleared of drugs
charges and snorting a line as he steps onto the podium to get his / her gold medal.
I think Steve just backed the wrong horse and kept digging. I hope he is reinstated soon. He was probs close to being reinstated before but was
perhaps a little too quick to use some alternative user names. As far as i understand it the ban is only for posting on threads and not for accessing
the site and communicating via U2U. More of a semi ban so we can all get some piece and quiet or a bit. Lets view it more as a holiday for the rest of
us
Posting here while I try and figure out if Ive sorted photo uploads
new fulcrum
You have Andy and what a photo that is.
Truly worthy of a tangential hijack

Bugger it, keep Steve banned .
Dropped off a loom last night for him to sort out for the Fury build ive just got, so keep him banned until ive got it back.

Liking the Fisher.
Friend of mine has one too with the lightweight chassis option.
It's quite well known around these parts.
With thanks to Seabass for a sniff of his bandwidth.
