The only guy that needs to go right now appears to be Midi-Junkie. He is not contributing to the LS community in a positive way and if you read his previous posts he has always been an instigator. I think having the moderator sending a PM is a great way to keep a person in check. I think it is important to keep the forum a relaxed environment where there is not someone watching your every move.

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.

That's what I did before I was moved to a Moderator... I would look at who made the thread or the post and then never entered.

True but we have agreed to keep the bashing down. If you have an issue with someone then take it to the Private Messages. Then you have the option of not reading them or doing your fighting there.

Even some of the bad thread started with a good post and have some good information.

I owned a forum for 4 years, no one wants to PM each other and argue over private messages. They want to show off and let everyone know who's boss, even though their acting like idiots.

I agree with the Pm'ing PM the member give them a warning, they don't listen, ban then for what ever time you mods decide. Controlling all these people isn't easy, i did it for 4 years and not even with heavy staff, banning, PMing wouldn't do the trick. Some people will always be jerks i guess.
 
alot of people here are of age and should know how to handle how they speak to others but a PM on the "TOS" is a good idea.
 
Thread is being temporarily stuck to elicit more responses. Dont' worry, it'll go away soon enough.
 
Usually if I come across a thread where people are slamming each other or using in-appropriate language I just ignore it.
I think that anyone who is bothered by something such as what happened this week, should PM a moderator about it or report the thread and the users involved in the spat should be warned and asked to cool it. If that doesn't work the thread should be locked, and the users involved should be suspended for a short time.
If it continues you ban them, not just their user name but their IP address as well.

But it may help to post a sticky, or send out a forum wide PM from time to time, reminding everyone what the rules of the forum are and that they should be followed.
 
Maybe an ignore button would be a good thing. Then if someone irritates you, you don't have to read their messages. I moderate on 3 other forums, and this is the only one that does not have an ignore button.
 
Actually, it has an ignore function, it's just not obvious. I've used it once, but as with most e-thugs, that foul mouthed loser moved on, so I don't have anyone in my ignore list now.

I guess I must have missed something, because the only "dust up" I saw was that locked thread, and it was about as bad as schoolyard fight among kindergarteners. I've seen far worse than that around here before, and it always seems to work itself out before too long.

Also, well said, 95stscaddy.
 
There is an ignore option click on the Private Message link then at the bottom of the the control options on the left click on Buddy / Ignore Lists option. Enter the person you want to ignore and you will not see their posts unless someone has quoted them.

I used it in the past when there were a few morons on the board that I just got tired of seeing their posts.

And yes those people are long gone...

Maybe you had a blast but right now it's best to be more humble than boastful.

This comment being posted in a constructive manner and to hopefully end the head aches that some of your posts have caused. I'm asking nicely to please follow the rules that have been set by the LvC Administrator and refrain from the fights, flames or trolling.

There are acceptable ways to respond to posts that you feel have been an attack on you.
 
I like this forum when it is spirited. You know, like when you and your car buddies get together and talk smack on the other guys choices...but...with 2 teen boys, and them becoming car guys, and looking over my shoulder...well the profanity definately takes something away from a great site.
To those who choose to talk(and write) like that, it really does get tired.
 
sorry. i was being sarcastic. :/ its hard to see true 'emotion' through text. if you go back and read the posts... i was in no way rude in the 'first place'. i know this really doesnt matter.. i started the untactful defensiveness, after in my perception.. i was being attacked. i think posts other people left were completly uncalled for and very rude.. it seemed like some that had never even posted just came in and jumped on the band wagon and started in. regardless of age.. this forum has rules (apparantly) and they were thrown out the window. i dont wish to argue with anyone about what im writing right now. id like to let it be in the past. im also sorry for breaking rules by acting the way i did. i like this forum and alot of the people here. to act out in the way i.. We did.. is not needed by me and im assuming many others here. thanks. again..... i wont debate about this post.. i will automatically ignore anyone who wants to start another ... whatever we did a few days ago.

I understand and agree there were some other posts by others, and this was not only you and others in the past have done similar.

I've even been in your situation where I have been drawn into a spat and understand the difficulty on how hard it is to restrain from the playground talk.

Thanks for your sincerity and let's all now move forward with the fun of LvC...

You know - there is an old saying a man tells his wife.

If I say something that can be taken more then one way - I meant it in the best possible way.

I suspect there would be alot less bickering if people thought that way about what other people post.

Here is something else to consider. If someone says something rude - IGNORE THE rudeness. Dont be rude back or 'attack' --- then, fights wont happen. The rude people will just look - stupid.

We are all lincoln owners. We all love our cars and we all come here because we love to hang out and shoot the breeze. Why would we need to fight and bicker?

When I started LVC with Geno and Bryan, we all agreed on one main thing. We would not be censors and bullies. Locking threads, editing posts and banning people are only as a last resort. It was our belief that the members could more or less police themsleves and be mature enough to get along without the need of much 'moderation' -- I think this has worked pretty well overall. I believe that is one of the biggest reasons we have over 10,000 members today and great members at that.


Just my .02
 
I personally get real bored at the other Lincoln forums...so I never joined them...only here!
 
i honestly wanted to leave.. but this is the exact reason why i havent. whoever posted about the ignore button earlier.. thanks. my mouths too big not to know where it is. :)
