Default This **** has to stop! Moderators and members come in. Texas section needs cleanin'

Over the years and more recently, it seems the Texas section has been going down hill. If its not internet wars between 2 or more individuals, its bashing threads, hijacking threads, making off topic posts, posting hurtful comments towards for sale threads, bashing sponsors, etc.!

All the bullshit has to stop. Its flooding our section like no other. I know this section is meant for pretty much anything, but all the nonsense that's been hovering around here has to stop. I'm not directing this to any individual or any particular situation. I'm speaking in general.

I know I'm not alone on this. I'm not trying to sound demanding or bossy, but you moderators need to step up. Its one of your jobs to regulate around here. You have the privilege to do a lot of things here on the board, but yet all of you sit back and do nothing.

I know the moderators can't be on all day everyday to monitor what's going on at all times, but there is more than one and things shouldn't be drawn out for so long. It seems no one has respect for anyone around here. Too much **** talking. I know things happen between people outside the board, but this isn't the place to handle things. Then when things roll out with he said she said bullshit, things just get messy. Then all the members have to fish through all these threads to find decent ones.

Threads like mentioned above need to be deleted or locked. Then the staff needs to PM the individual and warn them of their actions. Where's the professionalism, maturity, and respect?

A perfect example. You're obviously apart of the staff, how professional and mature are you being?

Retarded? Hrmm...to you maybe, but not to me. I ask for help about an off topic, not related to cars, it gets hammered, and ****-canned. Yet, there are other members who post these so called retarded threads that stay open and go on forever.

What's got me so worked up...

The lack of respect of many individuals including moderators around here. I'm furious right now. I don't post no where as much as I used to when I first joined the site. I admire this site a lot, but I'm starting to get really fed up with things around here. None of the moderators step in for me because "I have this past." My threads are constantly being trashed by members out of disrespect. If its not topics that I need help on, its my for sale threads. Its all about the user/display name. If Tony (Nineball) posted here in this section about needing help figuring out what's wrong with his water heater, those who had knowledge on the subject would pitch in. Now I post up about it, I get told to go search, hire a specialist, etc. Then it gets lock by the staff. Just because of things that happened A LONG TIME AGO.

Then my for sale threads. Members are always bashing them. No respect. None of the moderators do anything about it either when its right there in the rules. That's what has me all worked up.

I agree with Dragaholic a fun comment is okay every once in a while or if your genuinely interested in information on the topic its okay to ask but there's so many threads in some of these areas that get completely hijacked and off topic. I know it's a free site and that much shouldn't be expected but people should respect the fact that we have a good site to come to and talk about our passions in cars without smart asses getting on here and ruining good conversations. So go on Dragaholic and speek your mind. I agree

What we have in this section and joining the site is young punks who have nothing better to do than start **** around here. Of course, lets not forget about the men who just never grow up. I'm not prejudice against any age, as long as he showed some respect for other members and the site.

Dragaholic, i think if you're that upset over the way things are going, you should try a different site.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, or that you haven't made an excellent point....but if it were me and i were that upset, i would just join a new forum.

It's not worth getting all worked up over little punks or immature moderators.


oh and to the mods~IBTL!...lol
