You see, this is the problem with some people. They start making asumptions without knowing whats really going on.
Other staff people have spoken with him plenty of times

staff,
if this is indeed true. It is a serious conflict of interest, corrupt, a tou violation and an abuse of power.
if this is true, canadian should be immediately and permanently banned.
note: We have already seen that scott goes by multiple fictitious aliases on the forums.

If these issues have been festering for such a long time, or so you say, why have you never PM'd me? If you have issues with Driver, I'd be more than happy to hear about them via PM, and I'll do my best to address them if they are valid. But I'll be honest, from what I've seen of you over the years here, all you do is complain.
Btw, if you feel my response to you is merely for the purpose of making myself seem valuable on Driver, than so be it.

As to PMing you - I'm certain it wouldn’t be worth the effort.

You are one of the 11 Administrators listed on the "Leaders" page on Driver, but I suspect most Driver posters don't even know how to find that page. The last I heard "O NO" was the Administrator in charge of everything. Now I see that he hasn't even been on the site in months.
How would someone know who to contact? I'm a Mod in the Florida G Club forum and I didn't even know who to contact. I don't proclaim to have noticed the pseudo-group-by issue, I'm just trying to let you know that not everyone knows who's in charge, or who to contact.
For whatever reason, most of the truly serious people gravitate to the my350z forums... even people with G35's. Z people seem to be more interested in performance modifications than G people. Known facts on the 350z site are not always known here on Driver. It would be nice to bring Driver back up to date.

As I've told everyone else, I'm not sure where you guys got the idea that a single Admin is in charge or runs this place single-handedly, but that is not the way it works around here.
If anyone has any questions or concerns regarding G35Driver, then they can come to any of the Admins. Now, obviously it would be a better choice to contact a more active Admin to receive a quicker response, but I assure you that all of us will do our best to work with you.
Although under the same ownership, G35Driver & My350z are two different forums with not much relation. That is, we do not share an active Staff. Each forum serves its own purpose and caters to different demographics, IMO. It is no surprise that My350z has a more technical discussion forum regarding performance modifications, especially FI applications. 'Driver has its fair share, but it's more mild. I see no reason to even bring up My350z and compare it to G35Driver.

I'm pretty sure he had seen quite a few temporary bans and warnings before this one, so it's not like it was a sudden thing or because of other things going on.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings... but it obvious from reading this thread alone who runs things around here.

No.
This just in from Adrian the admin. Apparently Doug had the wrong information.
My sincerest apologies to Canadian.

hey, just letting you know, i was directed to this thread, and i felt i would just comment here about a few comments made regarding the moderation on g35driver.
As you are probably aware we have no professional affiliation with scott or ra.
1. I am aware of no instances of any moderator on g35driver providing access to their account for scott @ ra. I have confirmed this with the ip logs.
2. Scott was incorrectly unbanned on g35driver. I feel it is reasonably transperant from this thread (and others) why he is no longer a sponsor on either g35driver or my350z. We have no intentions of "unbanning" scott.
3. The thread regarding the group buy in hindsight should not have been created, that said, it was. I feel that calling for peoples heads doesn't really achieve the true objective here which is to ensure that people receive products that they have paid for, and they are educated through the forums about dealing with certain companies.
4. If you have issues/grievances with a sites moderation/administration, i feel the most appropriate form of discussing it is to contact the moderators/admins in question privately and attempt to work it out between yourselves. If that does not provide a suitable resolution, contact another moderator/admin for a "2nd opinion".
