Thanks for the positive comments! I have only awarded the user one years membership as a display of good faith. Had he been a subscriber for even one month he would have been entitled to lifetime membership. Perhaps he will now re-consider the value of that £2.00 fee?

I can confirm i am given a 12 year membership. i may have been a little impatient like i am always but i thought it had been at least a month for all my submission.. and by the way the third one is a gatso and its definatley their so u need to check that..
My rant wasnt about getting of with the 2 pound fee or even the 19 pound fee its about principles you give your word you stick to it after all the good things i was hearing about the site then me double guessing what had happend i may have over reacted in that case im sorry....
but you got to admit the current system in place for verifying the cameras is shiite to say the least..not been too critical obviously  |

What beats me is why didn't you email the forum admin guys first to see what was happening before you unleashed your scathing attack?
Personally if i was the guys running the site i would have not given you the membership instead i would have banned you off the forum for life, thats the trouble with me, i too act before thinking. |

he never said it wasn't there. darren simply stated that because they already had the camera position in the database but weren't sure if it was specs, mobile or gatso etc then that submission doesn't qualify for the prize. you merely gave them a bit more info about a camera they already knew about.

Your reward was getting a year when you weren't actually entitled to anything as you weren't a paid a subscriber!

Bl__dy H_ll talk about being ungrateful, you get a years subscription even though you weren't a subscriber and still you expect much more!!!
Grow up and stop being such a spoilt brat, big deal that you should have to pay a £2 or £19 fee for such a great resource.
Who cares about getting a lifetime submission for their first three locations submitted do you expect to win the lottery without paying?
You appear to have a serious problem if you constantly need such instant gratification, life will disappoint you greatly.

Here's some advice. Go and pay for the Tom Tom speed camera
database. Then come here and talk about being conned.

I think the thread has reached a conclusion now, if you feel you have been conned then I'm sorry, you assumed something and were wrong. I have been more than fair, if you wish to continue claiming we're scam artists then I'll happily cancel your account and you will be free to go elsewhere. However I would far rather you looked on the bright side, you've saved £19 and can perhaps now seek another camera and get the lifetime membership.
This thread is now locked.
