Loosing my tolerance. (Page 7/7)

Boy Cliff, do I EVER know how you feel about running the Forum. On a smaller scale, I was a moderator on a small BBS, and the people really seemed to be self destructive sometimes. It made my job much harder when they felt this way, but it was't too bad when they could behave like humans.

I dont want to add to your headachs of programing, but doesnt this go back to the "Rating" system you posted about before? Granted it would be a while before you could get one started, and it would be a bit of a PITA to put it together (I have faith in you! )but in the long run, wouldnt it take some stress off you?

Another unrelated, or maybe it is a related thing, if you chose to use any sort of 3rd party moderators could I suggest using the people you used to test... the ones you named in the "something new" post? I have no relationship to them, they more than likely dont know i exist, but from reading the post of say, 84bill, I can tell he has a sence of humor, and has a feel for what you are looking for as an end result here on the forum.

Well, Cliff, if your reading this far into my post, I know my spelling mistakes are minimal and maybe my thoughts can somehow aid you in aiding us to use this forum more effectivly.

On a brighter note, my 84' is running great, posted about it in the gen. chat. im off to look at whats there.

I can understand your feelings and I strongly agree with you in concept. But I think because of the type of forum that exist, we will always get assholes who don't really know what they are talking about or what to say. I wish there was some what to keep them out of the public light, but unfornutaly there isn't. After all, "we may not agree with what is said, but we must define their right to say it".
Keep up the good work. Your doing a great job. Just do the best you can and ignore the idiots and assholes. It's not really worth the time to express anger or ill feelings. Just delete the trend, should you come across such a trend, but don't waste your time looking for it. I've been there and done that.

Unfortunately, people will not always get along and when you have a forum that has grown to the size ours has, and will continue to grow, we are going to have personality conflicts.

We should do a better job of moderating ourselves. However, I do not mean telling others when they are wrong as much as watching what we are posting ourselves, before we post. Look it over, and if it sounds like its something really offensive, try and re-word it to get the poinbt across.

I am probably singing to the choir here, but hopefully we all will be able to keep things civil!

One thing we can do is don't open any post that reads such as ( Female is hot and needs help) ( help me I am dying) (Check out this sexy ride) These kind of post are nothing but trouble. Answer the post that make sense like Can someone tell me the fuel pump number. or where is the fuel pump relay located. Do not reply to those silly post.

I hope that the Forum stays up and running for a looong time.
I am sure everyone will agree a LOT more good has come out of it than bad.

On a side note:
Cliff, the search feature doesn't seem to pick up some older threads as well as it did before you changed it. Is it possible I am doing something wrong?

Thanks and long live the forum.

Hey Cliff, you know even if you wanted to, you could never close the forum! It's here to stay!

Like a lot of the others, all I can say is thank you. I haven't been here very long, but I've learned A LOT (more useful information then I do at school!!!). I joined, I didn't like fieros, but I've gained so much respect for them plus more. Unlike normal chatrooms and websites where the people talk about bs or don't talk at all, the people here actually have intelligent conversations (for the most part ) and I've gained a lot of respect for everyone here too. From what I see, everyone is like a big family and there's going to be differences (i'm the yo_sweet of my real family here at home! ) but everything can and will be worked out. Props to all!
