Locking thread was wrong.
 
I usually don't speak up on a subject like this but this time I feel it was wrong. crx88si locked the hotrex install thread based on Josh oweing WOT a manifold and maybe other items. Which he has started to make and WOT has specified he doesn't need till a later date. The install thread is not the place to be hashing it out. The items weren't techincally sold through HMT in the classifieds. Hotrex is banned from there anyway. We all put in a lot of time in on the install and the thread could have been a basis for discussion on that subject. You have penilized the entire NE crew who participated and I feel thats wrong. I was going to post pics and found this to be bullshit. Please reconsider your stance on this matter. Josh selling ---- has nothing to do with the install. If people buy from him when told not to, its not really any fault of HMT or its members.

agreed, there was maybe 3 posts about it and from the looks of what WOT stated he wasnt even caring that much.. its not like the thread got out of hand...

word. it was a good install post, just like everyone else's are. because hotrex owes someone a manifold, doesn't mean he can't do his ---- too.

it would be a different story if WOT was complaining about not having it. ::)

Buying something from hotrex is like leaving a plate of cookies on a table in the same room that the cookie monster is in... what the ---- do you think is going to happen?

Josh even makes fun of himself because he sucks at shipping lol.

i dont think the thread should be locked, the buyer knows what he's getting himself into and obviously doesnt need the parts anytime soon

beerbongskickass 02-07-2005 04:11 PM

Re:Locking thread was wrong.
 
Exactly why was the thread locked again? I just read it and I see no reason to lock it. It's just an install thread...

I guess mods/admins have a certain quota(sp?) they have to meet each month in locked threads... ::)

Retarded, unlock the thread, Hotrex is banned from classifieds. Anyone who deals with him outside of that has their own butt on the line, it doesn't have to do with us or our install thread.

crx2fast 02-07-2005 04:23 PM

Re:Locking thread was wrong.
 
yeah whats the deal on this? all of us had put a lot of time into this install, and want to share or thoughts on the install with the other HMT fam. because josh and WOT have some buisness to deal with does not make it write to shut down all our hard work. that thread not ounce got carried away from the matter in hand...

wow very unfair crx88si >:(

damn right, just like police officers. Ever notice how many threads get locked towards the end of the month? :P This post has been brought to you by your resident threadlocker. http://www.draglab.com/hmt/whitey.jpg pwnz j00. Its also a requirement to move Kyle's threads to places where nobody will ever see them :-*

WOT is NOT the only one. What right does Josh have for ANYTHING on this site if he scams people. If you paid for a pipe w/ a BOV in DECEMBER you'd expect it by now wouldn't you.

Hotrex gets away with ------- murder because people who dont do business w/ him like him. and I'm ------- sick of it.

it has everything to do with hmt. nobody on hmt wants to be scammed, nobody on hmt deserves to be scammed. when one of our members is a scammer or getting scammed it's our business, it's our right to know what's going on, and it's our right to try to help in whatever way we can. Ignoring bullshit like this just makes it go around and effect even more people. If people see that we don't tolerate scamming we have a better chance of not getting scammed.

its stated in black and white in the classifieds banned list. if you dont want to read its your own fault "."

that's bullshit, if you do go out and sell ----, it's your responsibility to go out and ship ----, simple as that. don't offer things for sale if you can't ship them in a timely manner. and you can't say that everyone has read the banned list, hotrex doesn't operate within the for sale section so they could have never seen the list.

He's clearing up the transactions with these two guys, and he agreed that if we ever hear about him having another problem he's banned forever and ever.

He has been cut slack, and having his name come up again and again is disrespectful to the site. He knows this.

steve.. i appreciate your "neutrality" of this hole deal.. but hes been told before not to let his name come up.. give him 4 months and you'll hear it again ;)

how many chances does he get?

REALLY late shipping countless times, and gay porn.. i dont see sinister anymore? :-*

yeah and its also your responsibility to look or at least ask around for vouches on the shipping habits of anyone you by from. when i buy anything from anyone i do this, and make sure that the type of money i send is refundable if need be.
yeah i understand that it sucks, but you need to be more smart when it comes to shipping out any sum of money to a complete stranger

i'm not trying to get into any beef with anyone on HMT, i love all you guys. i'm just simply stating my opinion on the matter :)

i got nothing for hotsack but love
so read this with that in mind
I personally would never buy anything off of this website because apparently it's cool to take money and not send ----...i dunno but i would be pissed if that was my money. Each his own but it sends out bad vibes to people when people on here do that and go about it like it's gravey. I remember a couple months ago where every thread in GD was a calling out thread, thats just not cool - we family babbby

Honda16hb 02-07-2005 05:52 PM

Re:Locking thread was wrong.
 
as far as I'm concerned ---- the east coast for allowing hotrex to do this bullshit to people and stick up for him. If you think it's ok for him to ---- people like this and take forever on shipping then I hope you get scammed.

How about this, a fairly new guy on here pmed me a while back, he had a few informative posts, he seemed legit, gave me his address and phone number and said he has the LS tranny I was interested in. I called him at least 10 times during the process of the transaction, the tranny was at a local shop he bought it from, so I told him to let me know when it was in his possesion so I could send the money, I called about every other day. So he gets the tranny, I send the money, we keep good communication. then he e-mails me that he got my money, and I never hear from him again, he doesn't answer pms, e-mails, phone calls, messages, nothing. I got my money back from the money orders minus a service charge. but I check this fucker out thoroughly, called him, good communication, everything, and I still never got my ----.

IT'S THE ------- SELLER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS IN A TIMELY MANNER

Re:Locking thread was wrong.
 
The point is the post was locked and had nothing to do with the sale of parts. It just seems to take presidence over our install. I dont think its right for people to be scammed and will stand up for whoever is the scammer. I am standing up for the rest of the guys that worked very hard and have pics and video on the subject.

Re:Locking thread was wrong.
 
And....we shouldn't have been so lax on hotrex selling behind the scenes, but if we banned him now, it wouldn't help this situation. What we can do is get these transactions cleared up, and tell him that if we hear about him again, he's gone. We should have done it in the beginning, but we didn't, and now we're stuck with doing it now. :-\
