Getting tired of the mods around here... Options

[Akimbo]

This forum is so boring to visit. I really dislike the way the moderators run things here. Lately, things have been so lock-happy it's not even funny. Sometimes the topics can be decent yet Manny or Jeff will swoop in and lock things. It's getting ridiculous. I guess that's the strict rules this place has though. I just think off-topic should be a bit more relaxed. No porn or racism obviously.

Why don't you mods get a forum and make posts so you can lock them? Maybe that'll satisfy that urge.

I'm just tired of the baby-ishness of 6GC.

When any of us lock a topic, its for a good reason. If a topic heads off course, we'll delete the unnecessary posts and let the thread continue. If the topic has nothing to offer this community(mindless ranting and bickering between members), then we'll close it. Unfortunately we have members that fail to follow rules, so we have to step in. There will always be a gray area, but we try our best.

If you post about religion, politics, or adult material they will They will usually be locked. Those threads end up in either a flame war, who's better than who, or other things we do not need on a automotive forum. If it were up to me I would drop Off Topic completely.

You may think we are doing a bad job because you only see what we lock. If you could see the type of stuff we delete, then this might sway your opinion about how we handle things.
