Not quite

Well, since this riddle is already for so long, i'll give you to big hints (you should figure it out after you read them)

Spoiler: No.1

How do you write first another way

Spoiler: No.2

Spoiler:

Guessing from that, would it be "Stop the Criminal"?

That's right
It's yor turn

Also I'll explain everything

Spoiler:

1.First is ST
2.32 refers to DC openings. Opening is OP
3.The third masculine is "he" , with 't' is "THE"
4.It's the definition of CRI (color rendering index). (not my favourite)
5.Do, ro , mi (Musical notes)
6.The last digit is 9, the 9th alphabet letter is 'i'. Nail without 'i' is NAL

"Stop the criminal"

If is ever my turn again, I think I'll stop posting complicated codes, I'll resume to a riddle.

Once again, the answer to the following riddle is a palindrome:

Words of encouragement spoken by a F1 mechanic, after adding new protective features to the team's vehicle:

" _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _  _ _ _ "

Spoiler:

run fast safe car

[Akonyl]

Spoiler:

run fast safe car

that's not even a palindrome 

but you could get it if you used the correct number of letters in each word

[kidSherlock]

Spoiler:

run fast safe car

that's not even a palindrome

sorry wrong type

Okay until now I haven't got a single attempt from anyone for my latest Williams and Borner.
The attention the first case got was 100% more and due to this I will cancel Williams and Borner.
They both died on the way back to their home.
Aunt Marry is save and everybody is happy. Well not me.
I worked hard on this and only VQ asked me to delay the deathline because of time-issues. You can take your time to solve this.
I won't bother writing anything new about those too. At least not for DCTP anymore. The ideas are all written down but I don't see a reason to work on this if only one persons bothers to even read it.
I won't solve the case here! VQ may get the answer anyway because she is working on it and still has her one try left.
So thanks for nothing and goodbye.

I understand.  It can feel really disheartening when you put a lot of time into something, and it seems like no one appreciates it.  I want you to know, I appreciate all the hard work you've put into this thread, all of the puzzles and riddles you've provided, big and small.  As for why I haven't attempted your Williams and Borner, it's simply due to lack of time.  My life has been very busy of late, and I've had to severely cut down my participation on DCTP to compensate.  In fact, this thread is really the only one I visit now on a regular basis.  I enjoy reading and solving the riddles here, but I can only make time to attempt the short ones, and sometimes not even those.  That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the work you've put into the longer ones, however.  I'm guessing it's the same for others here too.  The deduction required for some of the longer puzzles simply takes more time than they have free at the moment.

So, please don't take it personally.  I will respect your decision if you decide not to post any more, or solve any more riddles here.  But you will be missed.  I hope you stay, and keep writing puzzles and riddles.  If you make them short, with less time required to solve them, and with only one possible answer that is obviously correct once given, I have a feeling you'll see participation in your riddles skyrocket.

Oh and to avoid a double post:

it was supposed to be

That's right, kidSherlock.  Your turn.

Sucks, doesn't it? I know how you feel when you log here, expecting "X new messages" to appear... and there's nothing. I've been through that a lot after posting "such an awesome new BFR, everybody shall participate, that is going to be totally amazing, wooo!!"... And it gets little attention if any. Even the Kaitou KID got me only four deductions. With one of them being "Everything was a dream lololol" (I haven't yet forgiven you, Akonyl!).
I myself wanted to take a serious look at it in some free time, but... Well, I didn't have much of it. Sounds like excuses, I know. Sorry.

Spoiler:

As the Brain-Frying Riddles Guy, I don't get big riddles to work on too often. So I don't want you to give up, after all it was me who encouraged you into writing the first W&B case... I think? So don't kill them off just yet, I was hoping for an epic Brain-Frying William & Borner Riddle Case sometime in the future.
But I'd hate such words of encouragement if I were in your shoes. Because what really counts is that people didn;t attempt solving your case. Therefore the real problem isn't "To give up or not to give up". It's "How to make them go crazy about the next big case". The problem of yours is actually quite easy to solve - because it's not about the mystery being nonsensical. It;s about making people stop and take a read. I'm going to be blunt enough to give you some advice. Don't think I'm trying to preach though.

a) Less characters. That's the first thing I can think of. You probably noticed that in my BFRs I usually put three/four suspects. Sometimes there's a character that I don't describe as a suspect but they're still there (Mariya Yuki in BFR#2 for example) and sometimes one of the suspects is proven innocent (for example Ryouko had her face pinched in BFR#3). Anyway, if you put too many characters, the riddle-solver will get tired by just thinking of starting to eliminate them. It's purely psychological - if you need to choose one correct answer out of a hundred, you'll probably not even try, but if there's three...

b) Less characters also means less info necessary to rule them out and more space for the motive- or method-related info. Because no matter how awesome the riddle is, the solver's will to read it gets lower with every additional sentence. I spent a lot of time trying to shorten my BFRs as much as possible. It's not easy when there's a lot of absolutely necessary info. But still - the shorter the riddle, the more people will decide to read it. Because humans are lazy.

c) Don't get offended by this, but your English is a bit off at times. But I'll be more than glad to correct all mistakes I can find for you - though I'm not a native English-speaker myself too, so I probably make a lot of mistakes myself... yeah.

d) Humans rely on their sight more than necessary sometimes. In short - if the text is chaotic, they won't bother. It;s all about dividing everything into not-too-long parts. Take a look at the fourth BFR (I'm not bragging, just an example). Info on the suspects here, the day's plan there, the additional hints somewhere. The title is bigger and in different color. The names are bolded, the "titles" of the text blocks are underlined, some things are in italic. It's absolutely pointless if you concentrate on the mystery, and takes a lot of time (I'm always surprised at how much) but it helps a lot.

Also, don't even think of abandoning the thread completely. You created it, you're the First Brain here. Just get the next mystery you have planned, polish it, shorten it, decorate it, drink some beer and post it.

Come to think of it, I should probably hurry with the BFR#5... -_-'

[Kogorou]

Yeah... I may have been a bit harsh on all of you... plus stuff from RL piling up after an awesome holiday ... so my mind just freaked out Happenes from time to time ...
I may consider going on but no replies so far ... yeah ... great... when I look at how many attention the thread got during that time ... well...
Yeah eworm I know what you mean but with less characters it would all make less sense and would be way to easy to figure out.
This was a big think ... a really big one and I compressed it way too much.
Maybe I'll go back to the old style with the PDFs and a lot more time to solve it.
That would be more impressive and would give me more options to create and arrange stuff that I need.
I already have a native speaker reading over my texts ... if there are any more mistakes they are not my fault

Beer is a really good idea.

Sorry if I steped on someones foot. *apologizes formly*

I will post the solution tomorrow.
Sorry again.
