Hey Mr. metallic camaro or whatever your name is..the only reason i posted in the detailing and appearance forum was because i didn't know where else to post a thread about an offer for my car...since your the bigshot moderator you could have suggested the appropriate forum for it then rather than just putting a lock on the ****, come on man, no body is getting paid for moderating anything on here..it aint that serious.

 

Why is that when people break the rules, that they agreed to when they joined no less, end up blaming the Moderator for infractions.

You are not a rebel and cliche name calling holds zero merit.

From the rules

Use this board that is clearly visable in the forum list.

Cars for sale

 

although i dont agree with how you're going about this. i DO feel this board needs a general topics forum for thread such as the one in question. if the current forums werent moderated so strictly (not complaining) it wouldnt matter, but since even some legitiment threads get locked, i think there should be a place for these threads

 

Thank you flyinlow,im not trying to be a **** or anything just trying to make a resonable ground....but hey, its their board so whatever.

 

We need a social board, but I think they got rid of it years ago because it caused too much trouble.

 

First off I would like to say that if you don't take this site seriously, then don't start threads complaining about the way things are run around here. WE take this site seriously, paid or not. This place is sponsored by the companies advertised at the top of every page in this forum. Payments from them are given to the admins to help run the servers that host this site, and the advertisers gain our viewers' business. Moderators are here to make sure everything runs smoothly so that viewers have a positive experience so that they return, thus increasing business. Locking, moving, and editing threads is an important part of that process to keep things running smoothly. The vast majority of people here are here to help and to learn, and unfortunately some take it for granted that this place even exists. Those some people don't take this site seriously, and while they are allowed that opinion, do not suggest for a moment that it is not to be taken seriously by the people who run and maintain it.

Rants aside, the various forums available to you on this site should cover all the bases a viewer could need (EXCEPT off-topic. There is a reason this site is "tech-only", and it's what makes this site so successful). You are within your rights on this site to PM the moderator that locked your thread, or post a complaint in the Problems, Help, and Suggestions forum, and as you can see, I redirected this thread to said forum. You may suggest the creation of a forum that can handle "car value discussion" threads there. Your original locked thread was clearly not Appearance & Detailing related, and did not pose any specific request for help or offering of information, so is considered off-topic. This is why it was locked.

 

Keeping this site TECH related ONLY, may not be the best thing in the long run. When I say to have a general forum...it doesnt have to be COMPLETELY off topic and go into politics, movies, sports, etc. But a general Car or THIRDGEN related board. I know i would spend more time on this forum if there was something like that. Remember, happy viewrs/posters are returning viewers/posters. More traffic equals better advertising opportunites. I just dont see a downside to it.

 

It could very well happen, now that the site has changed owners.

 

Say what now????

alright guys, let us not wear the original issue out...they might just lock this one too lol!
