nope.
this forum needs a massive overhaul, turn it into a general automotive forum and if people want have a private section for people do joke around and say what they want but keep it in that section only.
i agree with the overhaul, new mods who actually participate and want to see a place where they spend alot of their time while surfing the internet to thrive, idk about anyone else but on my work pc, my ipad or any other computer that i use one tab is always open to shift518.com
Parts in bold. Are goddamn simple to deal with. Filters for words, short term temp bans AUTOGENERATED from using them. SIMPLE rules, left to moderators to enforce WITHOUT THE NEED for second guessing their own actions from confusing grey area “rules”.
THATS FUCKING IT. Look at any NATIONALLY RUN SUCCESSFULL FOURM. that how they do it. Bullshit is haulted. Button pushers are called out and eliminated. This place is full of smart people and smart ass people. Give ANYONE HERE AN INCH and they can and will take a mile. The grey area for using the word ******, but allowing nigggahh becasue its not filtered is a PERFECT example.
Parts underlined. Thats where self respect and respect for others self-police’s the place and keep it saine. I personally have NO FUCKING PROBLEM calling out my best friends here and telling them they are fucking up. On Shift or in real life. I EXPECT that they would do the same for me, when I fuck up too. THAT RIGHT THERE, is why I double think what I post and take in consideration what I look like and how others would take it. Thats why I have no problem calling my friend Vlad out for this nonsense here, and why I am “defending” paul.
This all centers around guideance and respect. on ALL fronts.
i agree… on everything you said mike… ( i didnt know about the whole word filter thing tho, i seen it used but dont know how to implement it. just like above i edited blkwagons post and look at the response i got… the children need to be put in time so they learn their lesson. just like in real life kids today are being taught that if mommy and daddy raise thier hand to them all they have to do is call 911 and they wont be hit but in hindsight all that is doing is raising assholes
I am here every fucking day. I run a damn business based on cars and it thrives off RESPECT AND OUR IMAGE… I am a half mod, with no abilities to help clean up the place. Why I dont know. If I can start a business from zero and get this far, one would think KK has NO PROBLEM telling someone to shut the fuck up and cut the bullshit here.
Give me simple rules. Make my name Blue. I will steam roll anyone who crosses the line and disrespects me, this site I represent or anyone on this site.
This is made so much harder than it needs to be… thats why its failing.
i agree and i think you should have full mod powers, this site needs a revamping with proper mods with people who dont side with this guy or that gut because they are their friend
Then this entire forum would be in shambles. Go to the original post in this thread and read from the beginning and keep in mind what you just said.
exactly. It MUST have unbiased opinions. As much as I look like I am nuts and dont give a fuck. Thats the KrazyKid side.
there is also a Mike Wood side of that log on name. The same one that took a business with ZERO to start and made it where it is now, not the best but striving to kick more ass every day. I/we did that by NOT taking shit, focus on what needs to be done and just do it. We walked the line of friends/hook ups/etc and thats 100% the hardest and worst aspect of running a business to deal with… as this place is running a site. Set shit in stone and stand by it. then there is nobody that can deny what was what when its right there infront of their face.
KBB don’t forget you’re one of the rats that came flooding back to shift when our forum failed :rofl
why because it would deter all the asshole from posting? if thats the case then this should be called realhousewivesof518.com and lets just shut this shit down…
what do you mean?
And NO personal attacks should exist on either side. Member, mod, or admin. Set an example. If you want flowers, ponies, stickers, and rainbows - that needs to be clear and not deviate from the top.
That was unmoderated glory in its finest and it failed lol
exactly!!
Taking sides and singling members out. This entire thread exists because someone was singled out.
Yes but correlation=!causation
It failed because it didn’t have any traffic, not because it was unmoderated.
If this forum had a similar section it would assuredly be the most visited.
100% he was singled out, vlads bad, not denying that one bit, but like you said rules need to be applied from the top and trickle down paul has done and said things in the past that are not acceptable and was not shown the error in waht he said any maybe if he was this would not have gotten to this point… but lets also look at jenzponys intro thread… do anyone of you think thats acceptable? ok she wants attention great but the way that thread evolved is not the best way to keep members or get new ones!
EXACTLY.
see my post in the mod section about that.
I agree too. and the part in bold.
Members here need to STOP acting like children hiding behind a keyboard, using the excuse “its the internet, ysosrs,” etc. Then calling it hazing, or whatever. Its not just tip toeing over the line, its jumping clear over it just becasue you can.
once again, its all about respect… give and take
No traffic and no clowns. Difference of personalities and actions make up a large part of activity. Look at PJB, how many pages deep are we in this thread now? Ducks in my pool thread is still gold 2 years later. Paul is Paul, he’ll say and do shit differently from you and I. And that’s just it, this world would be a boring place if we all acted and thought the same, drive the same color cars, and wore the same color clothes. I’ve literally never laughed so hard in my life at some shit you post, Benny. Is it appropriate? Not always, but it makes me laugh.
I’ve thought in the past about if a special section here would work, call it “The Bar” or whatever and have no filters, anything goes. But anywhere else would have to be like church, no swearing or being disrespectful. Would it work? Hard to say. If it did, would it kill the rest of the forum?
