You know who you are.
If you hate it here so much, why are you spending hours on here? Just leave, it's that simple!
If you hate a restaurant, do you keep going in and do you sit there and bash the place out loud? No. you’d be removed.
I am not going to tolerate people coming on my site and trolling like juveniles. Get a life and grow up. Bans for all trolls.

the only people coming onto your site and trolling and spammers. the people who are raising concern are those that have been here a while... and they raise a very good point. where is the authority?? yeah obviously you can't be at your computer 24/7 to keep everything in check. but you could atleast get more than one mod that contributes to the site.

hell i'll be a mod. i'm on this bitch all the time.

Raising concerns and bashing are two totally different things.
I removed someone’s signature bashing the site, and instead of taking a clue, he made a tread to bash me.
and people just love to jump on the band wagon.

it does seem you need some more management around here to keep up with things.

That is true. We do need more of that. These trolls take advantage of the fact that there isn’t someone stilting there with a stick watching every post everyone makes.

sorry for off topic.



Seriously, why don't you take applications for mods or something. There's probably people here that would do an excellent job and you don't even know them.
this ^^^ more mods or admin means less probs

It's not a band-wagon, its many people with issues that don't think anything is being done about it.

This place has given me so much in terms of entertainment and car knowledge but its frustrating to many of us the way the site is being run / driection is being pushed into. I don't even pitch ideas to mods anymore becuase they flatout tell me there's nothing that can be done for anything. We wouldn't make these threads if we didn't want this place to become better, remember that.

If that was the case, apropriate and civil PMs would be sent to me. Not posting juvenile crap on the forums calling me names and posting how much this place sucks.

Look, I will never please everyone, all I am asking for is civil conduct and maybe we can work on things. Sitting there and calling me “ghey” and what not won’t solve anything. Correct?

Sorry man.
So why not try again? I get hundreds of Pms and don’t always have the time to address every concern

It won't but thats not what I'm referring to. I don't agree with with your first sentance. Based on some replies I have seen of mods, reading the rules pages, and the other events that occur often here that seems to be the kind of response that is drawn out of people. I bet if it was not acceptable to say "f-u" in threads, people would talk to you differently.


Are you actively looking for mods? Are there any plans for forum growth? Forum development? a business-like initiative?

no offense. but i think this is a prime example of why the site is going downhill. you spend all of your time trying to do all the work yourself. then potential vendor pms, user pms, problem pms, and i'm sure even mod pms go unread and unnoticed. and so then when you sign off there is no one there to pick up where you left off and everything jsut gets worse, potential vendors never get a response and take their business elsewhere, trolls multiply(no pun intended), scammers keep getting away... one step forward two steps back...

listen, if you only have thirty minutes a day to do this, then you need to work on getting more mods in that thirty minutes.

Not being mean.

You get us more mods and we will give you more membership money.
