I Don't Appreciate Some Admin..

starting a thread under my name. I did not start this thread but was only cracking a joke and some one with a made up authority tried to stick it on me. This thread was created off a comment I made in another thread and I have no responsibility towards it's own offspringing.

Mr. Ski, I moved it, thread was not started under your name, I split it off, it went way off topic and was turning into a typical Waterhawk vs. the XH2O community.

i thought he started that thread too. good idea for an admin to add that the thread was split to avoid confusion.....

Yes it was started under his name. (Thread starter: MrSki). It looks like the guy started a new thread with a random strange comment.

If the admins must move stuff they should make the subject say "Moved, off topic .. "

Unrelated but this quote in Waxhead's siggy is on of the darned funniest things I have ever read:

"For sale
One self-priming extractor syphon slammed on a stinger with a whole WAD of Dog poop to baffle the expansion waves"

A few of us know what this means eh Travis?

This thread split from a previous thread that went off topic............

Harrison - I understand what you did....I had no intention of derailing the "hacked" thread..but then as I think about, Travis is always so defensive it had no other direction but getting off the tracks. I should have thought of that first. But it was still a funny sig that wax had.

Anyways, I get a couple of ads through PM's for this web site on that other web site...just happened to get the link to here before those admins erased it out of the PM...and there was some description about freedom of speech on this forum. Next thing I know some admin is starting a thread under my name...That's what erked me last night....plus Kevin wont tell me what's going on with his 550...but that's another thread.

Impartially, a thread was not started in your name. That gives a connotation someone hacked your account and logged in assuming your identity and started a thread out of the blue which MIGHT be something that would happen at another partular site.

What actually happened was a discussion got way off topic and was split into two different threads. In essence, your discussion was moved rather than created. The content was completely you and not another individual. This is a feature available to Admins and Mods in the vBulletin software, along with other BB software, which allows splitting and merging of topics, posts, etc. and in addition allows Admins and Mods to edit member posts. Hacking accounts, starting threads, and making posts under any members name is not included in the feature set.

We are pleased to have you as a member here at X-h2o.com, a personal watercraft forum, which has an outstanding and helpful member base with thorough knowlede, extensive expereience, and history in the sport. We assure you "starting threads under someone elses name" is not something in which we partcipate, nor is using another account to discredit members, nor is reading PMs. We thank you for your continued patronage and believe you will see we do not participate in censorship, as the only thing we expect of our members is to be respectful.

Thank you,

Michael950
