And this page called Singapore Buses posting everyday of what i believe some people terms as "cameos" daily. Some other smaller pages also posts similar contents. If BIS is guilty of your nonsense, i am very sure all the other pages are.BUT BIS POST TRIDENT on 163M!!!!! RAREST OF THE RAREST OF THE RAREST!!!

It's obvious the mod(s) are clearly ineffective in reducing the impact or nonsense created by these clones. As i have mentioned, i don't give a fuck about that excuse of "don't feed the troll", it is not working so DO SOMETHING ELSE. If not, get the administrators and mitigate the problem. Little to nothing was done, that is why more clones were encouraged.
People flocking to members-only forum and facebook is not another excuse for the lacklustre moderation. Or there is a conspiracy theory behind this lack of moderation? -

I don't care.
If I had cared, I would have left a long time ago.
Obviously I didn't.
In fact.
I'm flattered that you even bothered to register at sgforums. To what?
To display your disgusted sentiments?
Right.
Oh yes, on a related note, I actually bothered replying to your post.
Yes.
You deserved a reply more than those clones here.
But don't flatter yourself.
I just felt like pointing out how amused I am with regards to your posts. Quite possibly more amusing than repeated posts from clones.

I browse these forums for information, before this SMB228X clone mess came in and i had to skim through all their pointless replies. Since you bothered to reply, why not focus that effort and bring up this matter of ineffective moderation team elected a long time ago to be replaced? You seem pretty good to be one moderator.
Since the trolls are feeding themselves, the solution is everyone should stop posting so that we will not "feed the trolls further". Ineffective moderation at its best, forum is already as good as dead. -

Look at the mod list before ranting on him, since you're so good at criticising others why don't you do it? And yes, a thread has been posted about this, which had seemingly disappeared, and the Queen has been contacted, so only time can tell for sure. Meanwhile, I would appreciate that, since a thousand others have already ranted about this clone, you zip your mouth and not add to the amount of complaints we are seeing. Thanks

First thing, new nicks to reply on BIS or 228 related taiji should be taken w/ caution

The "ineffective moderation team" was a byproduct of events of yester-years.
So if you have no idea what I'm referring to, its ok, but don't expect to "browse these forums for information" without having to pay some sort of price.
Understand that?

Flame wars are nothing new, neither are clones. For a start, do you want to suggest that we tag phone numbers or IC numbers to every account? That would be effective.
There's a reason why this is a public forum, and will live by different rules. Create your own Facebook page or forums if you like control over the kind of information you want to get.

Exactly, so Jason I'd appreciate you just shut

Btw, 2888T is currently at the lay-up corner of BNDEP. I thought it belonged to HGDEP? What is it doing there?
-
TIB975U / TIB984T / TIB995L (can't remember which but AMDEP 854) has a really bad ZF gearbox.
Heard loud, grinding noises when on it today. Also, the bus fails to lock up at either the 1st or 2nd gear, and changing from 2nd to 3rd gear has no noticable difference on engine RPMs (even though the gearchange sound is present).
It seems to have great difficulty travelling at a speed greater than 40km/h (might be the driver, not sure).
Hopefully it gets fixed ASAP before the bus breaks down on service or its engine catches fire!

....That on 27 June 2006, 21 became first WAB service in Singapore.

Should be 995L.
I took that before and I reckon it would catch fire pretty soon.
And the worst thing is that the problem has been around for a couple of years already.
Buses with ZF problem tend to be repaired only after a very long time. And it afflicts almost every type that uses ZF.
It took 5+ years to repair the same issue for 9423E as I recall. During which time, you could hear it screaming, roaring, wailing down TPE.

See!!! So SBS correct choice buy Citaros using Voith!! Should buy more Citaros!!
-
I agree that Voith gives far less trouble than ZF.
By midlife, usually that's when the ZF starts to give all the problems.
At best, you hear a nauseating CRAAACK as the the lock-up clutch engages.
At worst, the clutch doesn't even work.
And you hear all kinds of funny sounds as the gearbox ages further.
Voith doesn't give as much problems, but as the gearbox ages, the lock-up clutch does seem to take more time to engage and you can hear that from the MKIII in between the 1st and 2nd.
I have taken a VSO that was stuck in 2nd gear once. And that was on 161, so you can imagine how it felt like on TPE.
