I’ve never been impressed with certain aspects of car culture. All I try to do is post about my car but everyone just calls me a fucktard for not buying the V8 or posts stupid memes about me killing people. Benjamin Rolland has had it out for me since day 1, maybe I should go find a community that’s more in line with my hobbies and beliefs.

If Dr. Rolland didn’t have a secret affection for wagons and V12s, he’d have it out for me too.

Also, I’ll post his dirty secret...

He has it out for everyone. If he’s not giving someone shit over something that doesn’t matter, it means someone needs to do a wellness check immediately.

They’re now hard to find, and obviously older, more used, and more fragile, but first gen coupes seem to be the nimblest. Also, I’m unfamiliar with rallycross classing rules, but there are some solid “frankenstein” engine builds (stock parts only, various engine years) that will boost the power quite a bit

Pretty much if you modify it outside of a simple air filter and cat back exhaust (mechanically) you’re into the modified class.

So basically the theory seems to be leave it stock or build the hell out of it.

Enforcing the rules? I was giving you the opportunity to pull the post or change it, but your attitude shows me you weren’t interested in moderating yourself and that you needed someone to step in. Happy to oblige

Jayhawk Jake > HammerheadFistpunch 06/07/2016 at 13:09

Because you feel that my sarcasm is dickish? Despite most replies being of an upbeat nature?

I honestly don’t feel my post was in poor taste. Making light of another persons post, a post in which even the original poster came around and realized he was acting out a bit excessively. I didn’t single anyone out (except Ben, but he’s a personal friend), I didn’t attack the poster in question, I just made light of a situation. Partly to diffuse tension, partly because I thought it would be fun and boy, has it been fun!

Clearly this post wasn’t viewed as a strict violation because it’s still here. If you honestly felt I violated rules in a manner that justifies a ban, why haven’t you edited the post to remove the “offensive” content? All you said to me initially was that you didn’t agree with my interpretation of this rule, and I replied saying I don’t agree with your disagreement. We could have a discussion about that, but instead you drop the banhammer? Yeah, seems entirely reasonable.

I’ve seen worse, hell I’ve done worse. If this is how my tenure on Oppo ends so be it. It’s not a democracy, y’all mods are free to act however you chose. I won’t be offended. It’s been real, yo.

Jayhawk Jake > HammerheadFistpunch 06/07/2016 at 13:16

In the most vague possible way?

If you wanted me to edit my post you should have told me. I simply viewed it as you disagreeing with my interpretation, and I disagreed so I didn’t change anything, nor do I plan on changing it now. As I said in my original reply to this comment that you later edited, I’ve seen worse, I’ve done worse, I honestly do not feel that I have acted in the wrong. On the line? Maybe. Over it? Certainly not. You are free to disagree, but please explain to me in sufficient detail how to interpret the rule correctly to avoid future violations.

Just for clarity-it is in poor taste, and it is against the rules to go out of your way to be a dick about it, even under the guise of sarcasm. I didn’t pull the post because I wanted you to know it was in violation and give you the chance to do something about it...which would have been the end of it in my eyes... but you choose to look that gift horse in the mouth. If you want to come around and change your attitude it’s not too late to avoid a weeks vacation.

If this is the post of all posts that Oppo mods feel deserves a ban, then in solidarity for all the people who have put up with worse shit I’ll take the ban and hope the rules are enforced as strictly for others as they have been enforced for me. I’d gladly have a discussion with the moderators in some forum off of oppo to discuss in greater detail what defines ‘being a dick’, what is clear or unclear about moderator feedback, and any other topics you’d like to cover.

See you next week!

Just a heads up, “Jap” is widely considered to be a slur, which makes it not an okay word to use in Oppo

Your original message was not clear. I’m sorry. You can keep saying it was, but I’m not going to agree.

This forum is a relaxed place with many members I would consider friends, at least as far as that word can be extended to internet strangers. If one of my friends acted ridiculous, I would chide him for it in a similar manner. In that sense I do not feel my post was a violation. It’s clear that you disagree, and that’s okay: we won’t all be in agreement on everything all the time. As I’ve said before I’ve certainly seen behaviors go unpunished that I feel are far worse than anything I’ve done here.

I’m not going to change my stance on this. I don’t agree with you. I’m also not going to try to convince you to agree with me. Give me my ban, I’ll see you in a week. I do hope that this has given us all a chance to better distinguish actions that are deserving of punishment so other members can be policed to a similar extent. Make oppo great again.

I’m gonna say this in the most neutral way it can be said, but it could also be construed that you (the mods) are actively looking for reasons to punish people following this latest shitstorm. Nitpicking, if you will.

Jayhawk Jake > HammerheadFistpunch 06/07/2016 at 13:45

Yes, but I would love to see the police pull over all the speeders around me in the future. If I’m keeping up with traffic over the limit on the street next to the park my kids play in and I get the ticket that stops the speeding, I’m happy to take that bullet. Ban me. Then do the same to others who act poorly in the future.

Dusty Ventures > Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To 06/07/2016 at 13:48

I have no intention of punishing or disciplining anyone right now. I’m just asking Ben to not use “Jap” in the future. I think that's a fair request.

HammerheadFistpunch > Jayhawk Jake 06/07/2016 at 13:51

I tried to clear it up-it is a violation. And I gave you a choice-please fix. No it’s not the worst thing on oppo and other things may have gone/continue to go unpunished but that doesn’t mean I can let it fly. Oppo is a relaxed place but your comment was less friendly ribbing and more heres dirt in your eyes. I hope oppo keeps the friendly vibe and can remain relaxed but intentional ouror not...This was mean spirited and it cant happen.

I don’t feel it was mean spirited. And who are we to judge that anyways? Seriously, role reversal where I’m OP and he is me, I’m not offended. Did he reach out to a mod and say wow, this Jake guy really hurt my feelings? I doubt it, because in his own post he came around and realized he’d over-reacted . Maybe he would view this as rubbing salt in the wound, but that was honestly not the intent. I would hope he would see it as what it was, a good chuckle and a way to view his post in hindsight and laugh about it.

I don’t think it’s really fair to call this mean spirited. Looking through the replies the vast majority of commenters don’t seem like they would agree with you that my post was mean spirited. Does that change the fact that you, a moderator, view it as a violation? No. Does the general feel or opinion within the comment thread change your ruling to ban me for a week? Absolutely not, at least it shouldn’t.

We honestly don’t need to keep dragging this out. If you and the other mods feel that this post needs an edit, you can edit it or delete it. If you and the other mods feel that my refusal to edit it deserves a week ban, then so be it: ban me. I honestly will not be offended, not that my opinion really matters. I’m an adult, I can take the punishment and come back later. I normally don’t cross the line here, at least I don’t think I do, so I hope you and I can both agree that if and when I come back I’ll continue to be a reasonably decent member of the oppo community.

Figured I’d clarify/explain my stance here a bit further. First off, I have no beef with Ben in this situation. I like Ben, even if I sometimes question his taste in cars. I don’t think Ben meant Jap in any cruel sense, in fact I’m sure he didn’t, but the word IS a slur, and intent is easily misconstrued on the internet, which is how shitstorms are made. So my request of Ben not using the word in the future isn’t an act against him specifically, but simply an attempt to prevent future shitstorms, because I totally left my umbrella at home.
