rob 240 Posted 6, May 2011 Report Share Posted 6, May 2011 theres been speculation on the '' i like this forum '' thread that frank wasnt frank but bin laden or some other imposter . as a result , mods decided to ''block his portal '' , whatever that tech-geek stuff means . anyway , this is a great loss to the forum . we've had plenty , indeed regular of '' pix or ban ' requests about members who won't put up pix and theyre never banned yet frank , the funniest , most unassuming , talented engineering guy [ who else has done an AWD clio ?? pray tell .. ] on OzRS , gets his portal blocked . unfair . so fellow forum members , start the campaign , bombard the mods with pms , burn cars [ saabs , toyotas , hondas , nissans , no renaults of course ] , go mental with a chainsaw , whatever it takes to get frank back on board with us and unblocked portally . get to it before frank deserts us for even better forums [ if there are any , which i doubt ] . he's a man who says he likes us , lets get him back and show him we like him too .

Bremund Posted 6, May 2011 Report Share Posted 6, May 2011 Rob, I'll unblock Frank (the bit about the extra logging was a bluff). James, Are you saying it could be 10 years till we find out who frank is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 6, May 2011 Report Share Posted 6, May 2011 If he's unblocked, couldn;t he read all this stuff and know we're onto him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob 240 Posted 6, May 2011 Author Report Share Posted 6, May 2011 he's either been buried at sea or he's in a compound in abbotsabad . either way he's not coming on a mid week run . let him back . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted 6, May 2011 Report Share Posted 6, May 2011 let him back . What about those suspicious other people about the same time who logged on with some strange request and were never see or heard of again? There was a few, I don't think Frank has only one name. Could the Mods do a search for BS posts.... Or maybe it is like copycat killers. Maybe Jeffie is to blame, he has alot of hate for Frank......Hatekiller...mad crazy poster...

wade Posted 7, May 2011 Report Share Posted 7, May 2011 I also enjoy franks humour, however if he really did fk around a member like he has been accused of then IMHO he has crossed the line ( and by extention whichever member 'created' him) It's not funny that a member spent many hours preparing an item for sale at franks request and then burnt him. If it was me I would be out for blood. My vote (if I get one) is that frank should be unblocked so that he can respond to the allegations, but if it's true I don't believe with all conscience we can let him be a member. ( and that goes for whoever frank really is as well) Sorry if this upsets people, but fking members around should not be tolerated IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 7, May 2011 Report Share Posted 7, May 2011 Indeed wade, we don't tolerate it. Things are going on behind the scenes, so rest assured that we are dealing with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamR Posted 7, May 2011 Report Share Posted 7, May 2011 Yeah, it's not right that someone says they'll buy something then doesn't go through with the purchase without even offering a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strife Posted 11, May 2011 Report Share Posted 11, May 2011 FYI (Read from bottom up) After this and I had put pictures up, after several attempts to contact "FLAZARE" via the forum and his personal email, I have not to this day received any reply from him nor any reply at all regarding the boot. If you're willing to tolerate that sort of sh*t in a community like this, then you're compromising the high standards of OzRS as far as I see. Especially seeing as this forum is lacking a proper sales section add-on and all forum trading is done on a trust basis. There is no post trade review setup (trade rating) etc, and no restrictions on who can buy / sell in the forum (posting minimum). I like how OzHonda do it with a reputation system, with only members with +1 reputation can trade. Anyway, for Rob and a few other members, how would you like it if I did the same to you on a fake account, or if some mentally/socially handicapped member wasn't playing fair and you were the one who suffered?

Adrian-Bstar Posted 11, May 2011 Report Share Posted 11, May 2011 That is so not what I would have expected to transpire at all. Makes second guess Frank's Prankness now... Sucks that you were stuffed around mate. BTW, He had two user names at one stage when he banded for a time. Has it been checked if this has any clues?

Adrian-Bstar Posted 11, May 2011 Report Share Posted 11, May 2011 I'm guessing that user is now deleted. What is the his current "status"? If he wanted to log-on could he? Did you block his user name or the route his was taking to log in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremund Posted 11, May 2011 Report Share Posted 11, May 2011 The route he was taking is still blocked. His user name isn't.

ClioF1 Posted 11, May 2011 Report Share Posted 11, May 2011 Thanks for posting strife. I re-iterate this is a complete load of BS. Good on you for fueling the fire rob and others, but this is beyond a joke. I for one have better things to do with my time than sort out sh*t like this.

Dish Posted 11, May 2011 Report Share Posted 11, May 2011 Looking back at the content of that reply to strife where 'Frank'/'flazare' goes into considerable detail regarding flywheel costs and swapping the hatch & glass, it really appears genuine to me. But I'm not sure what to believe anymore. Perhaps there was some truth behind some of the prank? On the other hand, what if the real Frank was subsequently hacked? Just trying to think outside the box here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffie Posted 11, May 2011 Report Share Posted 11, May 2011 He was an idiot from the start. Like his comment about Eastern Creek being in East Sydney. I can accept some people arent the smartest, but he was having a lend from day 1. The more people let it go, the more he messed with the forum.

Clio2.0 Posted 12, May 2011 Report Share Posted 12, May 2011 So wait, fill me in, what happened? I feel like I've gotten dumber reading this and about this person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbsy Posted 12, May 2011 Report Share Posted 12, May 2011 A man-child by the screen name FRANK (flazare) joined and made a series of banal, inane posts by digging up a load of ancient threads and pretending to be almost completely tech-illiterate even though he was allegedly also a successful teenage stock broker. To create some credibility he strung a member along by promising to buy something from them. He eroded much of that cred with his plans for an AWD Clio. When people tired of the charade it turned out he was so computer-challenged that he hadn't even noticed that he was posting through anonymous proxy servers. Now he's gone.
