Don't get on it , no reason, but is this bloke a hymer salesman.

I think a TW one.
I only lasted a couple of days on there.

 

[DuxDeluxe]

Bloody glad you missed me out there Mrs ambulance although I reckon I've been here long enough to just call you kidd

No idea why Mrsambulancekidd was so duckist....... I’m innocent.....

 

[Richard n Ann]

Been on a couple of forums that have overactive moderators, very annoying. I didn't last long

I got banned from a large UK diabetes forum about ?15 years ago. More recently just from curiosity I decided to have a look, typed in my email address and then 'Forgot password' when the site told me my email address did not match anyone registered with the site.

So I tried to re register - only to be told by the site that I was banned!

Does not compute, Captain.

Oh Si - if you only knew how thick I am. I supported a deaf student on a 3 year philosophy Degree - for how much I understood, it might just as well have been a Degree in Mandarin Chinese!

H.O.G.....

Would a "Funster" fit in...????

I thought they were all beer swilling, Tattoo`d, Long haired, Pot bellied, Hairy , Bikers...

Harley Owners Group | Harley-Davidson United Kingdom

There's another 'H.O.G' too - the Hillside Owners Group which (sorry Jim) lives on FB. I guess it's possible that some of the members could be described as beer swilling, tattoo'd, long haired, hairy, and bikers - perhaps even pot bellied (ahem). I'm going to a HillsideOG meet in September so may find out!

I will say that the HillsideOG is an enjoyable group with folk who seem to be pretty friendly and helpful to each other. I don't think there have been any serious fallings out, yet! We're a titch of a group compared to the HymerOG with under 200 members, though climbing fast.

Cherish is a lovely word.

It really does bring home just what a fantastic forum this is and how well it’s moderated, allowing open discussion without being shut down. Unless our rules are broken.
Its a real shame the HOG FB group is being run by a dictatorship because in my short time there I got the impression there are some very nice people.

You fool! You made the stupid mistake that Forums are meant to be fun. You are not here to enjoy yourself!

Go and birch yourself ,or on the other hand, do what I do. Every time I feel myself smiling I go and look at my bank statement. That brings me back to the gloom of modern life!

Of course a more evil man than I (are there any I hear you cry) would start a campaign to get everybody on this Forum to join the one you mention and start leaving negative comments.............................

 

[JJ]

I mentioned that I was selling my 1987 Mercedes Hymer 660S once on the FB Classic Hymer Group... got a dozen replies... one young man turned up to look at it the next day(ish)...

...after jumping through the hoops it was sold.

Well done FB.

JJ

 

[David BW]

I’m a member of the HOG forum. I’ve always wondered what sorts of comments some folk have made that results in them being thrown off. We have a compact Hymer and avoid big expensive sites, preferring CLs and “wild” camping. I can’t imagine ever attending a rally as it’s not our sort of thing. I’ve always found almost all people on there to be very friendly and helpful, perhaps I’ve never posted the “wrong” thing! I did get one angry face when I joined, amongst many other friendly likes; I suspect it was because ours isn’t a traditional Hymer but the poster decided not to explain his reasons.

I am another who didn’t get past his first weeks membership

they don’t even have the decency to tell you they have chucked you off , let alone why

they really don’t like to see negativity about the brand posted, however true and god help you if you criticise poor workmanship by TW

I have got far more from MHF than I expect I might have from HOG

 

[Northernraider]

North Korea, China, Belarus, they’re nothing compared with Hymer Owners Group Facebook group.
I joined yesterday, chucked out today. Why you may ask, I questioned the advice being given by one of the moderators (P), I won’t give the name.
I’d commented on a few threads, received several likes, including from (P), then today (P) put on a post explaining how he had greased his ALKO chassis in accordance with the advice he’d previously given. Several members challenged this advice, with what I believe to be the correct method, but were ‘corrected’ by (P).
I took up the post and gave all the information I’d gleaned from here only to be told again.
I gave a diagram, the link to Fraser engineering and a full explanation as to why it wasn’t a good idea to pump in 1 to 2 full tubes of grease, explaining all about the bronze bushes/seals etc and said I would leave it there and make no further comment, adding we all have to chose what advice to take or leave.
(P) came back with a curt response and accused me of being unwilling to help people, like he does and didn’t like what I’d said.
Within minutes I was unable to access the thread to respond, apparently blocked, I then noticed I was unable to see any posts or comments by (P), even where he’d liked other posts, others names come up but his said ‘data not available’
Feeling put out and noticing I could still post I decided to suggest a 9th rule be added to their list.
Rule 9. Under no circumstances suggest the advice being by (P) could be wrong, or words to that effect, I can’t see it anymore. All very polite though.
Within minutes that post got four likes and two supporting comments from members. Minutes after that their comments were removed from the post and shortly after I lost access.

Ha ha ha yeah i got banned last year by the asshole that is paul ....im not scared to name him

Why?

Because i dared to tell people they didn't have to fit motorhome tyres that commercial tyres did the job just fine.

But as the group gets funding from a sponser who supplies french motorhome tyres i got told off my

The other moderator the female option of arthur is another pain ...

I rejoined under disguise last week to advertise my hymer and shes been pestering me to add details to my add constantly. Like no one can ask a question these days

I know hymers are german but these mods are like left over from the gestapo

 

[Northernraider]

I only rejoined for vario groups to find Spares etc ...but did rejoin hymer group to advertise Toby

Don't get on it , no reason, but is this bloke a hymer salesman.

No hes just a pretty clueless owner with backhanders from certain companies for promoting their goods.

 

[bobnick]

Would appear lot's of forums have their Ayatollahs. (but not this one)
I felt i had to bow out of the JEC (Jaguar E-Type Club)
On reaching 10,000 post's the JEC #1 was being congratulated, i thought i made a funny by say "he should get out more", well the abuse i got from his right hand henchman and a couple of others i couldn't believe. The work he put's in, the help he gives blah blah. I was called ungrateful and lot's of other things.
Load of kin snobs.
Made sure i keep well away from their club and events.

 

[Mrsambulancekidd]

I just 'applied' to join HOG, we don't have one, I just want to see how quickly I can get myself banned.

All I did was to make the mistake of suggesting that the method he was describing to grease the ALKO axle wasn’t quite right and explained in detail why.
This wasn’t my first experience of the HOG Facebook forum though. Three years ago I joined and in one thread about Canbus compliant DRL LED bulbs I pointed out there was no need to buy the expensive ones they were insisting on because FIAT based models weren’t always Canbus on the DRL’s circuit. I showed the ones I’d used, ordinary LED‘s. I even explained how they could check if their model was Canbus DRL or not.
Members appeared to appreciate it but not the moderators, saying a lot of work had gone into researching and sourcing these bulbs for the members.
I left the group myself back then because the level of technical knowledge appeared very low controlled rigorously by the ill informed, self important moderators.
I only joined again to see if anything had changed.

Perhaps we can have a competition?

I am talented at getting banned quickly

I like your style, even if you are rude to ducks.....

 

[Richard n Ann]

I joined practical caravan forum after they said it was good on the out and about forum. After a couple of my funny posts got deleted I deleted all my content and told them to ban me they did... Probably with relish.
I lasted 60 odd posts anyway.

I’ve never been chucked off anything or had any warnings, which is why I was a little put out by how I was treated on there. I’m never disrespectful to anyone, I hope.
I love what I‘ve learnt on here from some very helpful and knowledgeable people.

 

[Detnor]

I'm another ex Hog, there are a lot of us about. Replacement headlight units caused a few issues and resulted in several being thrown out.

You’re right about that I was never told why and not even told I had been flung off I suspect it was the the headlight problem with the hella led drl wiring fault that I shared on here which he didn’t like and I even credited him with it?
