Seems there was a dust up in the LS forum today.

Would you guys like to see heavier moderation on the forum or would you like to continue to moderate yourselves?
 
Maybe just a polite PM to repeat offenders, reminding them of the rules of conduct which they agreed to when they registered?
 
I know that I ususally send a polite PM to someone that is getting a little out of hand. We are all adults here and if we ACT like adults then everything should be fine. My 2 cents anyway as a moderator.
 
I think the threats and name calling yesterday were harmless defensive tactics. Should the threats ever become real then it's very easy for someone to report the post or PM a moderator. Maybe put a sticky up about this since people don't know about it?
 
Move those posts/topics to the off-topic forum or some pit section. Or delete em. Waste of space. Imagine for example if some poor newbie is looking for info on K&N filters and finds all those crap threads.
well, just my 2cents!
 
Hey where is NYC LS8?? Hes been having some fun lately, IM sure he can chime in. LMAO
 
I think the majority of people don't seem to have a problem. I personally find most of it funny. But if there are certain individuals who can't seem to control themselves and repeatedly get out of hand, then they can be dealt with.

:shifty:

I just don't take kindly to people coming on this site talking all kinds of smack. You want to have an intelligent debate, that's fine. But once you start flying off the handle and cursing like a 13 year old, that's when I have a problem and open my mouth. There is no need for that kind of talk. I admit I may have stepped over the line a tad yesterday, but I'd like to think that my contributions here to try and help people on the forum as well as offering my personal time to help others near me outweigh whatever happened yesterday.

The forum is run fine the way it is now. We could use some of those stickies up top to be removed (like the racing a Mark VIII thread as an example ;)). If there is a problem thread, like has been mentioned, use the report post icon/link and let the admins/moderators take care of it.

That's my 2 cents.
 
I used to post a lot, but once my LS got to where I wanted it, I just lurk mostly. Forums usually do a pretty good job of moderating themselves. You have the occational moron who gets out of hand but they usually give up when people flame them too bad. Eventually they leave.
 
only to be reincarnated - Rbones/LSVIPDEMON/dunitright... I think there was another one too...
 
Remember this

Our rules are very simple right now. First, this is a PG-13 rated site - please keep your posts PG-13 in nature - Second, we simply ask you be nice to the other members when you post. We dont want fights, flames or trolling here. Basically, thats all we ask, other then that, have a ball!

Rich, I believe that was the same advise Joey gave me on another issue we had. Basically, there are no hard fast rules other than respecting each other on the forums. My motto is , if you can't act like an adult then this isn't the place for you.
 
after reading the "fastest car you smoked" thread, can I change my vote and initial response? Im thinking suspending one or two people who have been deemed repeat offenders/warned and they are obviously providing little if ANY positive info to the forum, would be a good thing.
 
I agree little moderation is needed but at some point posts are just going to far and really a waste on time to read. If you find them funny thats fine but for me I just start ignoring alot of the posts and that said I think at some point the thread should be just locked up and forgotten. If another one starts with the same vib, lock it up.
 
who cares what people say this the internet so lets not be cry babys and if you get your feelings hurt about what people say then dont get on really i dont see it being a problem get rid of old post would be a better idea
