Since people don't follow the rules, or even bother to read them sometimes...can we just remove the "New thread" button under the "How To" Forum? There is a ton of crap in there that doesn't need to be. The forum states that all How-To guides must be mod approved before displayed, but anyone can post anything in there.

I would love to clean it up, but need to be a mod to do it... !

 

love the idea! i'll get on it this weekend

 

+2 for cleaning up the how-to area of the site, theres a LOT of junk in there

 

+3 For Sure.

 

If you see something in there currently that doe not belong there, please “report to moderator” and we will move it

 

I'll try and help out later today, its almost bed time

 

Awesome, thanks! I was thinking about reporting it via "Bad Post", but I figured you guys would get annoyed!

Like I said, I would love to help, just need mod permissions, lol!

 

I just used the REPORT button on the side of the first post of the threads. I got 7 or 8 removed. But kept finding them to fast to report

It does look much better in there though

 

Sounds good to me. It is full of junk.

Later

 

I've been working on the reporting all the crap...I've gotten to Page 8 but the started to get the server is busy message. Not to mention the 100 sec time limit between reporting sucks! I've been working for 2 hours now.

 

Alrighty, the How-To Forum is finally cleaned up! Mad props to Halfcent for dealing with my 60+ bad post reports! I won't overload you next time!

Anyway, I had another idea for it. I don't know how many people would like it, but how about grouping How-To Guides into sub forums, ie "Interior, Exterior, Performance, Audio, and Basic Maintenance?

Just throwing it out there....

Jonel, any luck on removing the New Thread button in the How-To Forum yet?

 

Hey marerick and Halfcent! Thanks for taking the time! The How-To section is so much better now!

 

No problem! Glad I can make a difference!

 

No need to remove it.
No thread will show up without moderator approval now.
We only approve those that are really How to’s. All other get moved in other sections.

 

Sweet!

 

It’s been like that for over a week now. I changed it when I asked members to report anything that does not belong in there. I moved quite a few as well

PS. Try submitting a dumb how to, see if it make sit in

 

I never tried it...I was going off your old post saying you would get on it...didn't even think about redirecting...my thumbs up to you kind sir!
