I deleted the thread. After 11 pages of mostly arguing, I am not going to spend tons of time doing the surgery needed to remove the insults and keeping the actual info. At any point, either of the two who were the main contributors to the argument could have decided to stop and ignore or report the other. Thus, both Soulcrusher and Frank Lee were banned for a week. Hopefully, both will come back and act civil as is expected of all EM users.

In the future, we mods would appreciate people reporting this kind of thing a bit earlier. I personally don't read 100% of the forum, so I didn't even notice the problem until it was really out of hand. Thank you to the one who did notify me. Your help is greatly appreciated.

For those who don't know, there is a report post button (little triangle) at the bottom left of each post. It sends us an email and we can check the thread out if anything is going on. We do look at these. Sometimes we don't do anything, sometimes we PM people, sometimes we ban people. But, at least if we get a report we can keep an eye on it from then on out.

I did not know it was there either (the triangle of death!). I admire the moderators for letting it go that far even if it was not by design.

Id reported some stuff like that in the past and got a message from a modulator that I should just ignore them as I was just feeding the trolls.

I have seen first-time posts that were obvious spam and looked for a report button, but I did not think of reporting my own thread, that would have been simpler than messaging a moderator.

I started reading http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ent-10979.html and realized he was banned. I figured that it was true because I could not message him. I read his last post and wondered what was wrong with it.

I appreciate the explanation. I wondered, although I did not think that it was my concern.

You say that there is a triangle at the bottom left of each post. My monitor is not showing me this triangle. However, there is a red triangle at the bottom right of each page, next to the "Page 2 of 2". Is that the triangle that you mean?
How does one start a post? i"m new here but I would like to see some vapor carb research done here. If it proves to get great mileage, wonderful. But as I mentioned in a deleted post, if we keep this device even visible, someone will notice that it is one answer to the third world's need for extremely simple, extremely robust devices like the vapor carb which, as Youtube will be glad to show you, actually is an effective device.
