pfenlon Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hello Wayne can you explain why the posts on the actions of Lambkin Smith have been closed. You say that you have done this that and the other but a full explanation would be appreciated, this Gentleman has been proved to be not so. Exactly what are the BOD doing? And again why stop the posts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Can I suggest it might be a good idea to 'pin' that thread so the unwary can see it in future? That might save someone else from being caught. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hello Pete, it was not Wayne but in fact me who eventually locked that particular thread. Posts were starting to add less to the subject factually, but becoming more abusive, 'Where are the Krays when you need them' etc. Experience tells me that when this starts to happen, we have a habit of 'Spiralling down,' with little new facts, just abusive comment. What I would say is that should another, different situation arise, then a new post advising all of the facts, should be started, but keeping to facts and not just insults and inuendo. A search on the subject will reveal lots of info, plus an article printed in TR Action, 314, entitled 'How not to spend your retirement fund,' is a heart breaking read on the expensive and soul destroying things that have happened. What I am saying Pete, is this story is not new, and those of us in the TR Register knew all about this. Pete, the other thing to add is that therad is only locked, not hidden or deleted so is available for anyone to read John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

openroad Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi RedTom, I have sent you a Pm. On the Lambkin Smith Matter. I can hardly bear to write his name, bu needs must if he is to be found out and stopped. Cheers Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 So, calls for help are deleted but the thieving scum is still out there. Sounds fair to me. As for spiraling down; that is a supposition until it happens. Prior to that we have censorship. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roy53 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 It should be the clubs duty to warn new members of rouge traders like this and hopefully stop them making contact . The most immediate way is the forum, always a quick response to questions. Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Forey Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Roy, you are right in that the forum is a rapid way of spreading information but it does rely on new forum members searching the existing material or asking the question before buying a part or paying for a service. That was one reason why the new forum "Best TR parts and sources" was created. It was not clear to me that the original poster was actually a member of the club or not.

John. It was a joke, surely you recognise the humour. What a sorry state of affairs this forum has become. i am appalled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TorontoTim Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 All, As the rest of this thread was covering matters specific to the club and its members, those posts have moved to a new thread which can be found in the Members-Only (Alec's Inn) area. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
