What does shipping issues has to do with electronics at all? Find a shipping forum and complain there.

It is called "General Technical Chat" and the description is pretty clear that it has to be somewhat on topic of electronics. The description specifically asks for it: "so please don't start deliberately off-topic threads." But it seems reading is not your strong suit.

OP, you don't seem to be treating the moderator(s), here with any respect. Any actions they take (even when it is Dave), seem to result in just more thread(s), complaining about the action(s) taken.

I think you have been given plenty of warnings, and helpful hints, on how to behave. But it doesn't seem to be sinking in. You just seem to be continually repeating the behaviors, that I think seemed to get you banned on a number of other electronics (or related) forums.

I know that every time somebody picks you up on your lousy typing, you go off into some foaming rant about 'grammar nazis' or whatever, but what you typed in that thread was so poor that I had no confidence that the company name you typed was even correct.

Hi all it seems hermes s now rading under a name called evri,had a notification my parcell from ebay was going to be delivered yesterday,t wasnt then another saying its going to be today,thought  would ceck on there st to see where it is,its beeing sorted at there hub aparantly!,seems the same crappy unreliable company with a name change,anyone else had shit like this from them?,they seem best avoided imho!.

Not bothering to proof read before you post, even for basic typos, doesn't exactly win you friends and attracts the wrong kind of attention. It really wouldn't hurt you to do it.

This is intended to be a helpful suggestion by the way, before you go off into a rant!
Best Regards, Chris

Just makes me wonder, a 6 year old account with more than half a post per day seems to be suddenly rubbing up against the forum.

Does recent activity match past MO?

Well the following is a post, from a few years ago.  I don't find it easy to read, or especially understandable.  I.e. I think it is the SAME person, and their account hasn't been hacked or sold, or something.

well just an update,I put in the buffer transistor and changer cap and resistor values,still had next to bugger all meter movent,looking at the scope,i was getting zero amplification,looked like q1 was saturating so guesed it was a biasing issue,i ended up hooking up two variable pots in  parelell with r9 and r 10 ,after a bit of fidling it seemed better,i then measured the resistance removed the pots and fitted fixed resistors,Then did the same with q2,result was plenty of drive to the meter,well over enough tp push it well over full scale!,just out of interest r9 came out at 1.8k r10 at 5.7k and finaly r12 at 1.3k,as an aside it seems to be working on 5volts as well!,just in the process of fitting led illumination to the meter(dimable) a 9v battery check a 5volt out put check from the regulator,next job is to make the frequency switchable over say 4 ranges,sort of guilding the lilly but it males use of the original wafer switches,and means i wont have holes in the meter + most of the controls will be put to use,im pretty pleased with it so far,putting a defunct busted piece of test gear to another use,not bad,total cost a fiver and a few hours work,will post some pics when its finished,cheers for your help chaps,73 Paul m3vuv.


I find I can read it (rather slowly, with a degree of difficulty), and largely or fully understand it.  But I can well understand, others not liking that style of writing.

For what its worth, I have no moderation powers, but I'd ban majority of your posts as well. And there is time for self reflection when many people apparently "have it for you".

The off-topic and political aspects of forums, have been INTENTIONALLY removed (or were never present), on this forum. Because they can lead to arguments and trouble (politics), and/or undesirable threads (off-topic), which can drift things, way off from the subject area of Electronics and related, subject areas (Computers, etc).

You seem to have recently created about 20 threads.  Many of which seemed to be trivial things which just simply reading the instruction manual and/or googling and/or patiently trying a few things. Would have eliminated any need to create them.  So, I'm not at all surprised, that the moderator(s), have started to react to them.

If you want the thread to HELP others.  Then how about, you create a well written, nicely legible, opening post.  Then stick to just that thread, and NOT create various other threads on exactly the same (or similar) subjects. Just because you didn't get any replies, later that day, or don't like the replies, in that thread.

I just came across the locked thread and thought I was missing something about these parcels.

Now I would have been interested to know what electrical items were being delivered to you, what they were for and how the hold up affected you or your project (if it did or not).

In fairness to the OP.  Electronics related item deliveries, is arguably related to electronics.

But in fairness to the moderator(s), the thread in question, has no reference or mention of electronics (specifically) in it at all.  Just seeming to mentioning an ebay parcel, which could contain just about anything.  As the opening post in a new thread, doesn't seem to give any details.

TL;DR
Technically speaking it was off-topic (no mention of electronics).  But if it had been worded properly, could of potentially been a worthwhile thread.
E.g.  Title: "Getting our electronics goods, on time and in one piece. New ebay delivery company"...

If anybody here with access to the banstick really had it in for you, you'd have found out long ago. Quite frankly, it perplexes me that you still have an account.

With the bulk of forums, as I understand it.  Calling a member of the moderation team a swear word, would result in an instant and permanent ban.

@m3vuv you landed on the watch list because of your arrogant and insulting behaviour. I have tried very hard to work with you to get you to see how your behaviour is not acceptable. You started making duplicate posts which caused even Dave to step in to remove them which you complained about. You again made duplicate posts a few days later ignoring the information and instructions given to you by Dave.

Your failure to follow basic instructions, continual insulting nature, and now directly attacking the one moderator here that has been trying to assist you towards becoming a good member of this community is the final straw. You are no longer welcome here.

mk14 i understand your point

The thing is, there are thousands of members here.  There is only a handful of moderators, who have relatively little time or resources, to moderate this forum.  So you can't create a very large number of problematic posts, which then need lots of moderation. It's not really practicable or possible.

Good luck with your (new to you) scope. Try NOT to break it too soon!

m3vuv was banned from other large electronics communities due to the issues we are seeing here also. I can only assume this caused him to have run out of forums/places to spend his time causing an increase in posts to this forum. We became aware of his behaviour after he flew off the rail and started to try to ruin the reputation of an eBay seller who he eventually scammed and stole from.

Since then we have seen almost daily moderation reports against this user because of various infractions, from being illegible through to being downright insulting and rude. He was given several warnings which he failed to heed resulting in a partial ban (muted) which Dave lifted after he appealed the ban.

Most recently he started to complain about our removal of his duplicate threads/posts, and as evident by this thread, publicly call out the mods for their actions. This pattern reflects the pattern we seen on other forums when searching for "m3vuv", bad behaviour that leads to calling the mods ass-holes, and then a ban.

I find I can read it (rather slowly, with a degree of difficulty), and largely or fully understand it.  But I can well understand, others not liking that style of writing.

I find it difficult and laborious to read, and therefor can't be bothered to more than skim over it. On the other hand what you've written is very easy to read, I can read it quickly and understand it fully without effort. A few misspelled words are no problem but some attempt at reasonable grammar and punctuation makes a big difference. Punctuation wasn't created as decoration.

Psychologically speaking I wonder what's wrong with the guy, I assumed he was a teenager from the txt speak but I don't really know. I could tolerate poor grammar if a person was polite, or I could tolerate occasional rudeness if they wrote eloquently and contributed something useful but I can't tolerate a person that has horrible grammar, is almost always rude and rarely contributes anything of value.
