The Direction In Which The Site Is Going, And what to do about it Options

[Coomer]

Recently,
I've became fairly discouraged with this site. I get on the site multiple times every day, and each time I get on, I find all kinds of new stuff that irritates me.

Mindless, completely-useless posts in off-topic; non-related, stupid, or mean posts that ruin what would be good threads; topic titles that don't follow the rules in buying/selling that have been there for well over a year; people who only come to the site to cause trouble or irritate people; It all irritates me, along with the rest of the site's management.

We, the management of the site, think that lately the forums as a whole have gone a bit downhill, but we're curious what all of you think.

We're also curious as to what you all think should be done. Pete's in Japan and couldn't get in on the discussion of this idea, but Tim and I are considering changing the off-topic forum to be an "other cars" forum. That most likely won't happen, but we're sick of the completely pointless posts in off-topic. We all also are considering what to do about the people who constantly question others such as in the Lori Ann thread, and what to do about the people who constantly post pointless, off-topic stuff in the Celica forums, and what to do about the people who always post mean stuff on the site, and what to do about people who are mean to girls and treat them as if they've never talked to a girl before. I've had at least four girls talk to me and say that they didn't want to join the site or post in the forums, simply because of the way girls are treated on the site.

Tim is sick of it. John is sick of it. Pete is sick of it. I'm sick of it. Tim put it well when he said, "i feel like i havent left highschool yet when i go on 6gc..."

We're just wondering, what do you all think about what's happened lately, and what do you think should be done?

I totally agree with Chris on this one.....especially when it comes to the way most of the people here treat girls, i see people post a pic of a car and it has a pic of their g/f's next to it and everyone hounds the girl or the user to show pics of his own g/f..IMO that's disrespect..and with the pointless posts as much as i hate it coom i think it's always gonna be there. Face it there are some idiots that come here to just mess around and get nothing accomplished, especially on a off topic section. I dont think you should change it to the "other cars" section because this is a 6gen site only. I think there should be some action taken on the people who do talk crap,insult everyone,mess w/the girls etc...unfortunately it has to be done cuz sadly everyone has not grown up. Maybe if theres a way to give somewhat of a 3 strike warning and if u mess up ure ip or somethin get's banned..this should go as well for the bad sellers.

Well thats just my 2 cents.
