Does anyone know a good, trustworthy scooter shop that can do mods, and will not charge foreigner price?

I want attention - any type of attention - proper answers, sarcasm, anything at all. If I do NOT get a reply, I just simply reply myself to revive the thread - Bump.

Funny? There is absolutely nothing funny about this. GoKunming used to be a wonderful source of information and a great place for expats to communicate, share information and learn about what is going on in the community. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case.

Not that kind of funny. Gokunming is what it is. A place where people can post information and post their opinions however annoying it might be to you and me. Don't take it too serious.

Liuming,

I agree with you totally and I understand your meaning of funny. I also share your sentiments regarding the right to post any opinions, regardless of how ridiculous they may seem.

Unfortunately, the moderators of GoKunming do NOT share in our sentiments and there has been some censorship here in recent months as well as some recent posts concerning guidelines, rules and censorship. As you can read from some of the replies, some members are eager to see more censorship and more locking of threads, and SPAM buttons.

I personally do NOT approve of ANY type of censorship because the moment it begins, censorship will have no end.

I perfectly understand why the moderators locked a few threads lately. The problem is that a few people are writing some absurd things here and it causes the moderators to do something about it. Of course, the only option is to lock the thread.

I hope the OP of this post will realize that this type of posting will eventually result in locking this thread = locking a thread means censorship.

Crazy, I am pleading with you to please look at how many of your previous posts have been locked. Remember, locking a post equals censorship. Please do NOT force the moderators to begin this course of action because once it begins it will NOT end.

HFCAMPO: can you please, in a rational, logical manner, explain to me what is wrong with asking for a scooter shop recommendation?

@crazy I can understand your indignation. Just ignore the sarcasm. By the way, I'm dying to know: Did you find your way to China all on your own?

I thank you for inquiring to me directly. I believe asking is the best way to become informed rather then guessing or jumping to conclusions.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with your inital question. The problem was when you made the second remark. Because no one replied to your question, the post eventually made its way to the second page. Obviously, you did not like this, so you wrote BUMP to make the post climb back up to the top.

Ask yourself, what was your purpose for the second remark? If your question was legitimate, why did you NEED to put a second remark that has no meaning or purpose.

I hope this explains clearly. My other 2 replies are more detailed. They can help you understand the effect you are having on others who use this forum. I think your other posts are better examples and you need to look at all of them collectvely rather then just looking at this one post in isolation. Please look at all your posts not just this one specifically. Also, look at the replies from other members. Ask yourself, why are they so sarcastic to you? Do you see such sarcasm in other posts? Or is the sarcasm only directed to you? If so, why.

Also, go see how many of your other posts have been locked out. Ask yourself why or better yet, ask the moderators to explain why they locked you out.

I HATE censorship, I believe that everyone has the RIGHT to say anything they want as long as they are not hurting anyone else. Your posts do NOT harm others. However, the new staff at GK are not the same as the previous staff. I have never seen a thread locked before. There was no censorship before. But now, I see censorship. I can understand why the new staff is doing this. I understand their reasons, but I do NOT like it. Please try to understand that when you make remarks that they dont like, it has an effect on all of us. Once the censorship begins, it will continue and get more severe. The we all will eventually lose this wonderful resource.

I hope this helps you to understand the big picture. I repeat again, you are NOT harming anyone directly. But if your remarks cause the staff to begin to lock=censor - then we are all being harmed.

I hope you have time to meet face to face and ask about this if we do meet as was suggested in another post. I think it will benefit you greatly to hear what others have to say.

I have answered you honestly, rationally, logically and respectfully, so I hope this helps you to understand. Good luck
