6G Celicas Forums

Ive had both good and bad experiences with the mods.

They have been there to back me up and take action on things that I thought were inappropriate but there are times where I think that they have not acted properly. IE. I have written them with a complaint and will not get a response which I find very unprofessional for such a professional site. I also do not care for the smarta$$ remarks when a thread is closed. I feel that if they just locked it hten questions would arise so a simple answer should be given as to why its being closed such as copy and pasting a rule that it is going against then locking it. I also do not think that once its locked that another mod should be able to go in and say their .02 and then lock it again.

Everything has its pros and cons and with authority comes those who think they are also above the law. Oh well. Taking about a 6 month leave from here definitely let me let go of how thigns are ran on here. I appreciate the site for what it is - a group of people who have a whole hell of lot more information about 6gcs and are willing to share.

i just wanna say if u think this forum is "bad" go to bimmerforums.com and head onto the E30 section ..make a post called bodykits and u will be flamed into the ground!!! this site is wicked, i can ask the stupidiest question and if u look at the question i asked about 4 or 5 days ago about my passengers side window not working you will see why i like this site...i wasnt flamed at all for my own stupidity (i had the lock button on lmao)

Im not complaining, Im just saying the problem with this site.

Ya know, i retracted my dirty word, within ten seconds this page was full, and i had a reply to it.

Obviously we have a lot of emotion on this thread, and maby there is some reason to Speak about it.

dude...bodykits on an e30...you had it coming...lol! jk

post closed.... lol

have a great celica.net life!


lol

lol i know, i didnt like them on it either but still ..to each there own..

then this "trend" you speak of has been going on since long before i was a mod.

do a little research, then open your mouth.
people have always had a problem with the way this site is run, because we have strict rules, and we enforce them.
its been that way since the beginning.

carry on.

Since when do our "rules" deny the ability to share a different point of view. I can think of one thread where me and playr(dan) were having a conversation about something, someone made a comment and then the thread was closed

coming from a supervisor at there work i know what its like to be "in control" of a group of people and sometimes being strict is how peace and order can be kept...if those members had a problem with their posts being closed for whatever matter then i think they should talk directly to the mod who closed them

No, this is a Fantastic site, Fantabulous infact, no, FANTASTERIFIC

But the way some of the moderators, moderate... is pathetic at times. Not to mention some moderators are not open to new ideas or any idea different than their own.

I think it's more when people start name calling and getting really deep into an argument that things get out of hand. That's when it gets closed.

THIS IMO is EXACTLY the kind of pointless and ignorant sh1t that offers insight into the point of view of the moderators. Grow TF up.

Edit: case in point below.

I have an idea. Lets make a section called Zach's corner. Ill be the mod. You can come in there and act an ass all you want and post whatever you want. I'll only ban the people who post intelligent responses.

This thread reminds me of a relationship. One side is never willing to accept the critiscm and say that they will try better themselves and compromise on making things better for both parties.

so delete the post of the jerkoff whos is going too far, dont close the thread with a smart ass comment. Some of the moderators here like to have the feeling of getting the last word in.

Don't misunderstand me - the way people percive you is not your fault. I have done my research. In fact I was a guest here for a loooong time before I ever joined up.
My problem is with the way people are willing to overlook this obvious problem and actually defend it because "Manny is a God" or something to that effect.
I actually have quite alot of respect for your accomplishments with the 5S-FTE and Celica's in general. I just don't agree with shutting down a thread over one comment made by 1 of 10 people using the thread. I have further problems with the smart ass comment usually attached to said thread closure. If you read back a few other people on here agree. It shouldn't matter how long they've been here.

I love this place

oh, yeah I'll definately agree, some of the remarks being made before closure are out of line. But people need to learn to calm things down sometimes. I mean I HAVE seen it where there's a heated debate about something on here and before it got out of hand, both parties simply agreed to stop before they went too far..now that's cool.

this is total BS.

lets see a list.
not open to new ideas?

lets see. jeff has a full writeup of his RC swap in his ST, and although he hasnt been as active lately, he has always helped other members wherever and however he could.
so that leaves me.

your SERIOUSLY saying that im not open to new ideas other than my own?
::shakes head::
dude, you dont know a thing about me, who i am, where im from, or where ive been, and the people from this site ive helped.
youve been a member of this site 2 MONTHS.
seriously, think before you post.
