    Default *** IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ - OUT OF HAND MEMBERS * RESOLVED ***

    It's time the members knew about a recent unfortunate situation on gotstang? that had to be taken care of.

    A small group of members, who signed up a couple of months ago, had progressively degenerated to the point where they had to be removed and banned from the site.

    These 3 guys were controlling something like 16 different profiles! They were using them to increase their vote count in the ranks, referral program, and to cheat on face offs. The straw that broke the camels back was when it was discovered that on at least 3 of their "extra" profiles, they had stolen photos of other peoples cars from ebay listings and posted them on this site in an attempt to make their fake profiles look genuine. They even used these fake profiles to challenge some members to face offs!

    Cheating on the other members and dishonesty will not be tolerated on gotstang? Neither will rudeness or abusiveness towards other members! Many complaints were received from other members about the behavior of these individuals on the site, and each time they were warned or questioned, they merely responded with lies and continued to get worse. They were given more than enough opportunity to do the right thing and use the site in a fair and proper manner, but instead they chose to abuse it. We had no choice other than to delete all their profiles and ban them from the site.

    got stang? is meant to be fun and enjoyable with as few rules as possible - but in order to help quickly identify problem members and profiles in future, you will notice that we have added a new feature to each member's website - "Mark this profile for review by an Administrator". Please use this wisely and only to report a profile or members that is clearly a problem.

    Many members may have noticed that their rank points have been reduced due to these profiles being deleted. We are sorry for this side effect, but it is unavoidable when profiles are removed from the system. We will also attempt to rectify any discrepancies in the face off records, but this may take some time (these guys made a lot of face off challenges!). If you suspect that something is still not correct with your face off history after a week or so, let me know and I will take a look at it.

    Thank you to all who were involved in tracking these members down.

    gotstang? is back to it's old self again! Let's go have some fun!

    Why do people do things like that? They are just Jealous of all the Awesome Stangs they wish they had on this site!! Glad you got em!!!
    Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.' ----Harvey Mackay

    POSSE MOTTO:
    "life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body,
    but rather, to slide in broadside, thouroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming 'wow, what a ride!!' "

    I'm guessing they are not like "we are sorry, we will be good now, please let us come back" - most likely just full of 4 letter words insulting your momma, and telling you what terrible things they would do to you?
