MEMO To self... block/ignore Gordon and rx8cited.......

 

Yeah, there's a great plan - sign up to a forum, bitch and whine like a baby, refuse to consider any alternatives even when a Mazda certified mechanic (that would be Snap-On) tells you the real solution, refuse to consider logical explanations that make far more sense than the fantasy you hold, swear at the moderators, then block the moderators. You're making friends fast. Shall we just ban you now, or later? :p Please sell your RX-8 quick, so you can "help" your new friends at the WRX forums.

Regards,
Gordon

 

[/b]mod edit: You have had your warning. This type of abuse of other forum members and moderators is unacceptable. This is your last warning. Next time you will be banned.[/b]

 

Maybe you better read those forum rules again, as it's clear you didn't understand them the first time through. Nobody censored your post - certainly not me, as this forum section is not one that I moderate, so I have no authorization to edit posts in this section. I'm not convinced that you successfully posted the message you think was deleted.

Let's be clear - I don't know your car or what noise you experience, so it's entirely possible that your car does have a problem. However, you are making an *** of yourself by first suggesting that Mazda will drop the RX-8 after one year, and even more so by dismissing the very real existence of gear roll-over noise. Gear rollover noise is real, exists to some extent on most or all of our cars, and is not something that the world is making up in some conspiracy against you. Just because you've never heard of it or aren't familiar with it does not mean that it doesn't exist - why don't you consider learning something, instead of being so closed-minded???

Do your own Google search for "rollover gear noise", "neutral rollover noise", or "neutral gear rattle" - you'll find plenty of hits that describe this for various vehicles, including Miatas, S2000s (that both use a similar Aisin 6 speed trans to the RX-8), Mustangs, Vipers (link - see? , BMWS (another link for your education, and many more . See how you like those, since the howstuffworks link seemed to be too complicated for you to figure this out.

Still think it's a conspiracy, or can you possibly admit that you might have been wrong about the existance of gear rattle?

Gordon

Dude, Gord's right - and if he's not right, he's at least attempting to *discuss* it.

Whatever, it's like rx8cited said, "Don't feed the trolls."

 

Just confirming what Gord96BRG said about the noise:

I spoke with a friend today who owns a 2003 Corvette. It has transmission gear roll-over noise similar to what we're experiencing with our RX-8s. He was told by the dealer that it's normal for his car. Apparently it's a lot louder in the Corvette as he can hear it even when his windows are rolled up - so we're lucky.

Two friends who own a BWM 325 and a 330 do not have the gear roll-over noise however.

Wow, what a thread, the spin doctors came down hard doing damage control, what a rebel!

1984..............

that's funny, hes banned for that, and yet I have read some pretty obscene post about what people would do if they had a vagina post and I found that totally offensive, what this guy said was nothing compared to what else has been said,

SLECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF CLUB RULES, sad really sad you can be a total pig and wish you had a vagina and joke about it and that itself is totally inappropriate, in psychology its called OBJECTIFYING, or dehumanizing, but make one complaint about a car noise and BOOM your are gone. Makes sense to me.,..... on that note, IF I HAD A VAGINA I WOULD GET A FIST and,...........

 

Wrong - he wasn't banned for anything in this thread. You can't see the other couple of threads he started that were definite violations of forum rules (because those threads were deleted) - but believe me, the forum rules were enforced entirely consistently and appropriately in this case. If you have concerns about how the forum is moderated or rules are enforced, please contact the forum administration.

Thanks,
Gordon

 

Ok, so its ok for certain individuals to put the comments that they did in that If I had a Vagina Thread???? that totally destroys your credibility, as those people should be banned as well, that really sends out a message that it's ok to objectify women, and their bodies, we are not ignorant savages and it's not OK to objectify womens body parts......I think the people at Mazda will be very interested in reading that thread.....

 

I believe I suggested . THIS particular thread has absolutely NOTHING to do with that Lounge thread you are referring to. If you have a concern about posts in THAT thread, please use the "Report this post" button from THAT thread to alert THAT forum's moderators about your concern.

If you believe that posts in THAT thread are violating the forum rules, then by all means alert the moderators about THAT thread. Whining over here in this thread has absolutely no impact. I would like to remind you yourself to review the forum rules regarding criticism of the moderators and reporting posts - we willingly discuss your concerns in private.

Gordon
