Welcome IB!!! Please clean up old vendors off the site.... I.E. Vision Bulbs which is a dead company... you order from them you'll get nothing & no support.

 

No need to resort to personal attacks, I just asked an open ended question. Keep the site rules in mind please

Fair enough.

Thanks for the welcome! What kind of improvements would you like to see?

We can do this. Feel free to send me a list.

cheers,
robb

 

Welcome


I can't remember the specifics but there was a post somewhere (I believe in the lounge) that explained the reasons for it. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it was because the race shop wasn't a supporting vendor and it was considered free advertising. If they took the link out of their signature and just left the logo, they wouldn't be banned. Something to that degree anyways.

Unfortunately I missed the whole event while I was at work. When I got home and logged on the whole forum was a total mess.

Oh and if you ever are in need of some help I'll be glad to give a hand.

 

IB..One thing you could do for Vendors is have them check in with you maybe once every week...and if they go so long without checking you could check to see if they are still around. Also you could check with the people on CSS.net and see the feedback that they are giving for certain Vendors

Also I have a lot of friends who were banned. I will try to tell them that the site is being changed up maybe they will join back.

 

as long as you guys weed out the trolls and scammers, I'll stick around.

 

We need to make a list of all the contributing members we lost so that we can get them
unbanned

 

along with rosshady, rtullos, and cco8 (oh god he was the worst).

 

This sounds interesting. Definitely let me know.

 

Welcome guys!!! You are going to have so much fun here. As you can tell from the post #3 in this thread lol. There's always somebody in here who's a "class clown"

 

hello IB Staff. welcome to .net

 

Hi, one of those would be me

 

It’s important to note that every person that got banned got banned for a good reason. A rule violation in every instance. That is all I am going to say. IB is obviously in charge now and they can see the post history of all the “upstanding” people that got banned.

 

...anyone that was "banned for supporting a race shop" were also bashing paying vendors and advertising for companies that are NOT Supported Vendors to the point it was getting outta control and against the rules.

As for the odd/silly banning reasons they were probably just jokes and shortly unbanned afterward.

 

This is very true. We are really good at kind of work.

 

Exactly why you guys are here I am very happy the site is in good full time dedicated hands

 

since we're on the topic of vendors, I'd like to see what you guys can do as far as encouraging them to make more affordable turbo parts for the lsj and 2.2/2.4 guys. Like an intake manifold (which I'm currently in the market for). I mean seriously, why does quality have to cost close to $1000.

 

I was just posting in the thread about making the site better. But you have now made the right step into making this a better site. Thank you sir.

 

Thanks, and welcome to cobaltss.net BTW

 

One thing I can't stand are people who used to own a cobalt or people who dont even own a cobalt posting on the threads. This is a Cobalt Forums People who start coming on here from other forums causing problems need to IMO

 

Everyone is welcome here regardless of what kind of car they drive as long as they play nice and flow the rules. Unfortunately the internet is full of trolls and yes people from other forums do sign up just to create problems from time to time. The things trolls say on the internet most would not dare say to someone’s face.

 

The people who join just to learn are fine. Its the people that Cause problems that needs to go.

 

Most of the old school pioneers of the Cobalt no longer have there cars but have amazing knowledge to share, not to mention people who might be interested in the car can still contribute general mechanical knowledge to the site. Yes non-Cobalt interested trolls who just cause problems but an open community of all car enthusies who contribute positively is something we should support not shun.

 

Like I said above..its the people that cause problems that need to go.

 

And we have been banning problem users. That also triggers other users to get disgruntled about the banned guys they liked and it’s a never-ending circle

 

I guess. I really don't have much room to talk considering I've only been on this site around a year. I just think it needs to be completely cleaned up.
