When we do a horrible job, we're quick to be called on it by sung, soulDistortion or the other mods and are corrected.
If you just don't like how we do what we're doing, then that's a matter of a opinion, and you are entitled to think as such, just as others are entitled to think you are just bitching because your underwear is too tight.

I thought that the mods were susposed to be the "parents" of the forum, and be the most responsible people here. There are some post by some mods that are worse then some noobs. The post are totally pointless to threads and bring no help or insight on what the thread was created for.

If you expect to put this site on the track of strictly cars, then good luck. It will fall off in due time. The scene as we know it is hanging out and having fun, and if you take that away then you have the hard core people who don't post here. Add that together and you have useless server space.
And Tim, no chip on my shoulder. Just annoying when some one tries to help out and you all think you have something to prove and don't listen.

Re: Offensive Avatars
Thank you Matt for a reponse that made a lot of sense. I commend you for that. Instead of, Steve-O has had a chip on his shoulder...
I could have cared less until I had a post deleted that should not have been deleted.
That post was about a picture posted and I asked why it was shot like that.
Did it offend any one? Nope.
Did I talk shit? Nope?
I asked a question, and it got deleted. No reson as to why.
If shit like that is going to continue, then it's going to piss me off.
And I do apologize for calling everyone out, but look at it from my point of view:
If you don't tell me who did it and why, then all I know is it was a mod so I will call all mods out.
Sorry that one has to make it that way for the others.

I have one posted one thing that John deleted and he PMed me and let me know. I was going around the word censor, I did something wrong, I don't car that it was deleted. And he was decent enough to let me know.

Re: Offensive Avatars
That's completely understandable. Like I said in the other thread:
That's why I, personally, like to leave it out in the open for a hot minute so everyone can see what's going on and why.

Since this thread is bound to be under scrutiny now, I feel compelled to clarify that I don't think there's anythign "wrong" with things now, it's just different, and it's taking some adjusting from the guys who use the forum the most and have been here the longest. We got out of control, and by "we", I certainly do include "me". Who was there to stop us at the time? And more importanatly, who was around to diffuse shit before it pissed "us" off?
Now that there is moderation, like ever other functioning forum this big out there, it's making some people uneasy, which is understandable. Do I like all of it....no, there are some things that I feel don't fit with the personality if THIS forum, but it's not enough to run me off.
Anyway, that's just my $0.02.

Re: Offensive Avatars
I've done my job just like I've been told to do it. I mean Steve I moderate on one of your boards, so if you have a problem with me personally I don't really see why you'd let me be a moderator there. Sometimes when I lock/delete things I am a smartass, but it's usually because it's so blantantly obvious that it should be locked/deleted. Usually the thread originator will get a PM in regards to why the action was taken if it isn't very clear.
And the whole changing my avatar to the nail/finger thing was just something to mess with you guys.
