I must admit that coming from your side I'd consider it ok to stop in the yellow box as long as I wasn't blocking traffic coming from your right.
It looks like the purpose of the yellow box at that junction is to allow a few cars out from your side when there's a build up of cars from the left.
Maybe I'm being a pr1ck, but I don't think I'm blocking anybody?

Maybe, but im not aware of different purposes for yellow boxes. When i saw the light go orange i thought might aswell stay where I am. The octavia then pulled out behind me to go around into the oncoming lane.
Chances are if I did go into the box he wouldve followed and been blocking traffic then.

It might be a suggestion for the council to only paint the half closest to me to allow what you describe. That would make sense.

Sorry, my comment wasn't about what the lad in the Octy did.
It was about the OP's reluctance to enter the yellow box, presumably because he couldn't clear it,

Yes, I'm usually annoyed by motorists in front of me who don't know the yellowbox rule. Although the junction in the video is not exactly like the one in the image, I would definitely have entered it....

It's a pity the car doesn't have a safe mode that knows when driven as such it goes hell no.....

One should never overtake on the left either according to the ROTR.

Well, I'm not going to pretend like it was not a super fun video to watch.

Surprised how easily that Audi well apart though. He drove it hard, but he really did not abuse it that badly, could have done a lot worse to it. The speeds weren't very extreme either, maybe I'm spoiled from all those Russian driving videos but I expected 200km/h+ from an R8 joyride video. 10 minutes and the car was smoking and beeping, another 10 and it was broken. Maybe the ramps did it? But even those didn't look too extreme.

Besides this thread Motors forum already has two video threads, "The YooToob thread" and "Dash cam videos thread 3.4 (embedded car cams only)".

I am transferring this similar thread to the Cool Vids forum

I’d suggest looking back or conversing with the other moderators as to why this was created in the first place, it was for videos (such as dumpert, etc) that can’t be embedded to play in the thread. They aren’t allowed in the other two threads you’ve mentioned, the hints are in the titles.

While some motor cams videos may be cool, not all would be.
However what they would all be would be motor videos...so please put back in the motor forum.
Would a multi car pile up knocking down a group of orphans be cool? No... But it would be a motor cam video.
One does not equal the other.

Needs someone higher to look at, as I’ve requested, as he’s just taken a personal vendetta against this and is offering zero leeway at all. Absolutely ridiculous decision.

Seems that Motors users want it back.

Well, we don't want it here, as far as I can see!

Make everyone happy. Move it.

The motors forum mods do not want it back, if I move it it will get locked or deleted.
So I will leave it here!
Please remember that it will be for the videos and not for discussions about which driver was the dickhead.

I have requested admins take a further look at this and they have said they will do so when they get a chance to. It’s not as simple as a forum move if it removes the chat aspect of the thread, they’re basically killing it.
Hopefully the admins will see sense and you won’t have to keep it here.

Can I ask, and I'm not trying to be insulting here, but why do the mods not want it back? Surely if they don't want to moderate the forum, they should just not be mods in the first place?


A Weather Forum mod deciding "you know what, this Snow thread is a lot of hassle" doesn't mean the Snow thread should be kicked into After Hours because the mod doesn't want the hassle of it..?


Would it not make more sense to just add a new Moderator to the forum (either as an addition to the current team, or to replace one of the disinterested ones?)

As pointed out before, this thread had no issues.
I don’t know what the moderators problems are.

This forum is not for the moderators, it is for us the users.

I can understand problem threads may need attention, so where is the problem on this one?

i just scanned every post in this thread.
up until biko moved in in post 765, not once did a comment merit a moderators note, warning or sanction, nothing.

indeed, ironically, dolanbaker makes quite a few comments about the videos linked, but now is the one requesting no more chat

again, whats the problem?

No chat is a thing in this videos forum. One suspects it's a large reason as to why it landed here.

I just can't understand why the motors moderators don't want to moderate (they didn't even have to in this thread). They're not paid, so surely you'd just let someone else do it if you didn't want to any more yourself.

As I have said before, if I move it back, there is a high possibility that it will be either locked or deleted.

As for chat, it used to be in the motors forum, it is now in cool vids & pics & links, not really the best place for long discussions about the videos.

I would be willing to allow some chat if the other mods agree, but no long reams of chat without any videos.

As it is, this part has turned into a chat section.

More videos please!

carfinder

I would add my voice to the call to move this back to Motors. It appears to be an arbitrary decision by a Motors mod who seems to hold sway in the forum. It would be nice if Boards actually acceded to the wishes of its users instead of the very odd personal preferences of an overzealous Mod. Its like a modern day version of the spoiled rich kid who takes the ball home because he doesn't like how the game is panning out!

Fair enough, I get you have to look after the thread as it is here now so I won’t keep posting about the situation on thread any more.

I’d urge any other posters to reply in the thread in Helpdesk (though they seem to have stopped approving posts for view on the thread - https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2058144804) or start a new one. There seems to be a good number that want it moved back so I’m hoping when the thread wasn’t problematic before they may see sense for us.

Dolanbaker thanks for the offer of maybe allowing some comments if it remains here too, and for not instantly deleting the few comments posters have had up to now. Appreciated.

Well, you would have to add your voice here as it would seem that adding it to the Help Desk thread has been blocked for some reason.

I tried to post there, but the post never appeared. I saw a message that the post is being moderated. Only a mod post appeared after I posted.

Just keep in mind that this forum is not for us users. It's a commercial venture, and we're the product that's being sold. I'm spending less and less time here as I don't like the direction it's taking. What is happening to Boards.ie?

A subforum in motors for dash cam discussions sounds like a good idea, why don't you ask the admins to create one.

Motoring mods can request it, anyway, this whole issue of where this thread is located is being looked at by the admins.
Expect their findings in a few days.

Ideally, it needs to find a home where comments are allowed. From that perspective, even after hours would be better than here
