Breaks my heart to see such a site run into the ground by a bunch of hot heads. No one can say that they were wrong, or let things go. Profanity flying everywhere, no moderation of any type, people wanna beat each other up. Looks real good to people checking the site out for the first time.

I'm outta here, what a disgrace.

Posted by: bbrase

Yeah, I am wondering where the moderation is actually, some of the stuff flying around today should have been deleted. I am not leaving but, WOW. No need for the drama.

Don't do that. This only breaks out once in a while and will die....eventually. I just don't know why people get so carried away, say what you got to but don't to far.

I just ignore most of it, still other threads to participate in.

Lack of moderation is better than an over moderated board, but some would be ok.

I agree 100% as I run one much the same way... HOWEVER there is a point where things go to far, like three threads I can see on the front page. I mean no disrespect and maybe this is just the norm here, I have not been here long enough to know.

Ground Zero don't leave because of a few people who don't know how to behave themselves. Stay and contribute to the community and chat on chat night.

I have no clue what the heck anyone is talking about so if you want to have a board with 50 moderators acting like communists and controlling your every word, you are right, this is not the site for you.

We happen to believe in freedom of speech here.

We also believe that people can act like adults and when ther is a problem, situations can usually be resolved when the parties are approached in a manner that respects them.

It is easy to get carried away and be an internet a-hole.

That is why we have an alert icon. You see something 'you' think is inappropriate and you flag it for us mods to come over and see. We take care of things and have been taking care of things for years without any drama.

Some guys are used to heavy handed boards. If you need to be babysat, well, ain't gonna happen here.

I agree with you and I for one havent needed a babysiter for years
also what posts are so bad. For a non heavy handed sight I think that every one is real friendly and respectfull

Posted by: mespock

Well it's not very friendly in the political forum... But what I have learned is that's a different world there and unless you want to be like the politicians and throw a lot of $hit around. Don't go there.

I actually can get along with Fossten when he's out of the political forum LOL...

Posted by: glanga

Check out the last few threads midi_junkie started and you will see. I'm not denying I fueled the fire...but I think the blatant cursing and getting around the language filter is unneccessary for a family friendly site. A few harmless arguements are ok, but when the cursing and threatening starts, then the mods should take care of it.

Posted by: 04SCTLS

Site's not being run into the ground.
Yes there are a few conservative heavy hitters here who are firm and passionate but usually not rude.
Have crossed words with fossten, shagdrum, and monstermark myself and quite enjoyed the banter.
Politics is a blood sport so you gotta expect some hard opinions.
If your feelings are easily hurt go post on a girl's site where they'll feel your pain.

Posted by: 04SCTLS

Oh and calabrio as well and he's a moderator too.

Posted by: MonsterMark

They're not talking about the political forum.

And the political forum is a different animal and different rules apply there.

Posted by: 02LSE96LSC91SE84TC

Just the LS Forum again, lol.

And a new person.

Posted by: Garbone

The LS forum seams to have the younger guys in it, and some of them definately are giving this site a problem. I too thought about leaving today, but maybe we can change from within...quitting solves nothing.
Some of these threads give luxury car, and Lincoln owners a bit of a smudge...you know?

Well we'll see what happens.. I just hope we don't lose good members like Ground Zero... Once in awhile we get a few idiots who make life hard on members, but they usually go by the wayside and LvC moves on without them. Funny even some become very respected members..

Just remember that the Lincoln Mark VIII doesn't have Struts - They have Air Shocks.

Posted by: 02LSE96LSC91SE84TC

Wow. Seriously how screwed up is when a thread is started to politely see if a board should be moderated more and based on the conduct and history of that particular forum it should be no big surprize the answer. To top it off all that comes from it is to pull some old stickys, good idea. But I question the choice of ones pulled. A modification that while the average LS owner couldn't it pull off there is a whole lot better chance of a few doing it. Instead one that has practically died stays up.

LOL, Upset noooo.

I didn't make the thread a sticky, someone else chose to put it there. I highly doubt any others will follow other than a few and they will remember who to contact is they have a question or will dig it back up. The same questions were getting asked that are pretty clearly outlined. Other than holding peoples hands to do it only so much could be said about it, it was pretty straight forward.

I know you didn't start the SC thread Quik, you've said it yourself and it got stickied the same way, not cause you put it there.

But you have to admit you really stopped updating it and with held performance #s people so anxiously awaited.

Why?

I assumed because of several reasons but the fact is the thread isn't active no more...really.

Yep, my bad.

I did it.

I was going too quickly thru the stickies and pulling the ones that had no recent activity.

Had nothing to do with content. It was a pretty interesting thread if you look at the views it has received but the activity had really fallen off and the goal was to cut out some stickies to refresh things.

Back up. Now don't whine it's back up.

I LUV the "wack-a-presidential-candidate"!! Hillary is no Kirk, though. And Obama ain't that logical.

I would support a Kirk/Spock ticket.

The slogan? "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

When a thread goes to the once in a blue moon "what ever happen to this" or "hows this coming" I agree ditch the sticky status. People will dig it up when they want to if they want to know.

I am more than fine with LSD sticky falling off, its all pretty much all been said on whats involved. Just thought the selection of ones that stayed was kinda funny and thought cleaning up stickies stemming from the moderation thread was also funny.

"Hey I'll post like a retard with no respect if I want. I like to read rediculous BS and naming calling all day long. Clean up those stickies if you going to do anything moderators"

Thats funny to me.

I just question how long you had #s before posting, thats all. I could be completely wrong. To be honest I thought maybe she grenaded or something to that effect. With the most views the thread really had peoples attention and it seemed you were kinda toying with em after awhile and I honestly thought you were just not bothering with filling in people here. You don't owe anyone here anything at all, and the repeated questions about this and that get old I know but with some nice #s that resulted for the long hard work why not give em up to put some peace to it. I know while I didn't follow it that much not cause of any other reason than it was waaay more than I'll ever do to the LS, I still wanted to see how she pulled.

Anyways probably the wrong place for this so sorry to all.

And I'll stop bustin your balls, but seriously I wasn't trying to.

midi_junkie's thread on how he beat a 350z

Posted by: StankinLincoln

i never see Real Arguing. its on the internet. the one and only place whre we can vent all our anger and feelings without reprocussions(sp) when we start treating internet as real life with punishments for speech and (verbal harrassment) we have a problem. because the greatest thing about the internet is NOTHINGS REAL. its all 0's and 1's.
