so there is something some of us can do lol
oj your right we'd better just leave it with the mod/admin. the stories are fairytale stuff sham, still think if you held your hands up it would be easier for everyone.

If we weren't listening to the members, what exactly would have been the point in us opening up a thread that needs pretty much 24/7 moderation? It is more hassle for us having this open, but it has been opened so that opinions can be voiced in a constructive manner - Something that very few members are actually doing.

Would just like to point out that it doesnt matter what age etc the moderating team is, nor does it matter where we live in the world wether that be Malta, America or as close to this situation as it gets like Bradford at the end of the day our actions have the sites and members best interest at heart.
We do listen to our members but we also listen to ourselves too. Was only a few weeks ago that all the members were demanding Akki have his trading status back on the site, despite our judgement. We listen but we also try to protect.
Very well put Dave.
Again very well put.

What are the admin views on this now, as no one really wanted to comment until he had posted this up? I think most if not all members are wanting to know.
Me personally, to many things just dont add up, but thats my own personal option ive come to after reading it all and hearing shams response.

I did say I would comment after the response went up, I can only speak for me personally as I am sure the other staff will speak for themselves but personally none of this adds up and as such I dont see how Sham can go on trading on here especially since members who purchased cars from him in the past have come forward with tales of sheds. In my mind there are too many questions with too many conveinient answers and it all smells a bit suspect.
The decision about the action we will take will be a collective one so my view on the matter has been put forward and we will wait to see what the others think.

If it is clear that this is not the first case that Sham has sold an unfit car or it was advertised wrongly then he should be banned like Akki. This effects the club as well as people join sites like this to find traders for a particualr car and they are meant to repitable if linked to a car club.
I am sure Dylan, Jay and the other mods will do what is best by the club and I would hate to see TGTT get pulled into dirt!

Personally, I don't believe that Explination. It just doesn't add up on my head.
Professionally, I can't really comment on the MOT really as i'm not clued up on the proseadure that's involved in the MOT. I was under the impression that if your car fails the MOT ( just like the NCT ) that the fail points are re-checked and if they still fail ( but the car as a whole does not ) then they are still put down as advisories. not a no need to tell them about that i put it on the last piece of paper sort of thing.
As Dylan said above the Decision will be taken Collectivly by all of the staff so as a whole My Professional feeling Is only a piece of the Pie that is the TGTT administration.

Wow just got to the end of this huge topic, been watching this one since it started but was reserving judgement.
I reckon the mods have handled this situation very well, letting all the evidence be gathered and letting people have their say, I have to admit some of the comments have been a bit wild from people. I personally think it's a bit silly and stupid to tar every member or anyone from Bradford with the same bad name just because of a few horror stories present and past, it's a very bad way to go about and people must reliase it's a minority not everyone from area's is like this.
It's also good to see members pulling together to help, shows this is a true community. Also loved how quickly all the evidence came together and discrepencies with the MOT and sale of the car, very well done.
I'm sure the moderation team will make a judgement based on the threads here and also whats been said and if they do hear the result of the VOSA investigation.
It's no use pointing the finger and going blah blah blah blah about issues that some of us aren't really trained in, we should leave it upto VOSA to investigate the car and if the police etc get involved then await the outcome as they are far more trained than us. In saying that I do see a lot of holes in some of the stories thats been posted that even the untrained eye would see. -
Working hours for one, How many MOT's you can do in a day and also the fact that if a car fails the MOT it fails it doesn't suddenly produce it's own Pass certificate with the MOT Testers name beside it out of magic, that has to be entered into the system and produced, as for mileage i know when i get my car MOT'd the first thing the guy who does it comes with a pen and paper and writes down the mileage and uses that piece of paper to write notes so if Sham is doing it from memory then chances are the mileage was screwed up but in a way thats no excuse, the information needs to be accurate all the time.
The car may have well been involved in an accident on the way back from the MOT and to get a quick sale the parts that were replaced on the car were put back on just to get the car sold. There is a lot of what if's the only people that will know the truth are those who were there at the time it all happened.
I'm guessing everyone will wait with anticipation on the result of the investigation, but remember the MOD's will be having a hard time as well picking out what to believe and what not to believe as well.
It's a very sickening story and the people involved if there was any wrong doing should have just come on and held there hands up and said "yeah we screwed up" the information is a bit conflicting at times.
Just glad the person got their money back and the authorities are investigating this now as this is a serious matter and glad the MOD's have made sure no one will get ripped off again from these people if they did happen to be guilty of things.

Id say, kick him to the curb
Seriously though, who the hell is gonna trade/respect him again?
Their both better to cut their losses and start fucking up/selling cars of a different brand, maybe go honda guys??
Just pray that members on those forums havn't seen this thread.
oh wait...

The only problem with that is that Sham and Akki somehow have loads of followers on here who will defend them right till the end and if the mods were to ban Sham i dont think certain people would be to happy about it
