This is all I have to say about RSpeed. If you want to talk about it more, feel free to PM me. Vlad Paid for one company. He wanted another on there. He didn’t want to pay for the second company. That is all.

:confused odd how when someone else is incharge you complain, yet when you have the power you do nothing different expect let it get MORE OT

and then complain later on about it getting too OT

> To be completely honest, this forum thrives off of the drama in these threads. Is that a good thing? Maybe, maybe not. Personally I find it fun to read some of the threads that are about usually complete BS, just to see what people have to say. But do I think the entire forum should be that way? No.
> 
> I think if we implement a rep system along with a seller/buying rating that rewards those for contributing positively and does the opposite for those who dont, we could solve some of the issue. As rep goes down so do your privledges. If you do something too many times then you get an automatic suspension for a given time period. That will make most people argue threads in either the offtopic/battlefield threads and hopefully end some of the BS in the other threads that we would like to stay clean…
> 
> Just an idea.

that idea would never work. Friends will join up and positive rep each other and their common enemies will get ganged up on. Even the mods take sides and cause some of the drama, so giving them sole responsibility of dishing rep points isn’t an option either. People will take it personal and it will just cause more fights and more drama.

Adding a rule or a point system will just make things more complicated and create more problems. There is already a system in place to weed out the shit, it’s called moderators…they need to take more action and get rid of the shit. IMO.

You are in left field replying to my post. It has nothing to do with vendors or with Vlad on RPSEED. I repeated it twice so not sure what else I can do to help you understand.

Yep.

I have no power. I remove NWS and post as an active member. This isn’t Nazi-ville like RSPEED where we beg for monies and dads join to harress the members (actually, I lied… 🙂 ). I do what is asked of me. But, yea, the drama is up there. It’s not perfect like any forum but membership is increasing which is important.

Also, I cared a bit more then when I was living in Albany and a part of the scene.

so you don’t care about the local scene but your gunna moderate a local upsate forum?

and nazi-ville? dude please you called out his dad…and then continued to mock him time after time, which i might add you still do and did earlier in this thread for what gain? to show you can’t make a new joke in over 2 years?

now if i remember correctly, there was just a whole thread that was closed and locked into the moderator section when someone called out someone elses dad… and the only reason no one was banned right away was because the people in question were not mods…

but i bet you guys arn’t gunna call out joey about his dad coming on to hep defend/ stand up for his son

I definately care but living outside the area makes it difficult to participate. Again, I am an active member even remotely. I don’t have to live/breath the scene to moderate.

I cut n paste a post by another person. I did modify it a few times. I do have other jokes though. 🙂

OK?

I am on the fence on that. If someone called my GF/wife a cunt, I’d want to beat ass but I think I know a bit better as the consequences would lead to a bad situation.

That’s a bit different than my daddy coming on and bitching about the lack of participation with Autofest. :lol

Why? Because the comment was directed towards his wife and it was a word that is taboo to females. It was also directed to the ONE person. The other was daddy coming onto the ball field because no one wants to play with his son. It was directed at the masses.

How can you not see the drastic difference between the two?

But, I am still on the fence on the C word but I understand the argument.

I am not bitching. I doubt crazy is either. It’s just a discussion.

Walk away from what? I don’t think you have a valid point. Should I go to my room because you don’t agree with me? :lol:

The wife allows me my milk every night. 🙂

I don’t play video games anymore.

My dad used to put me in the bathroom. The prick would take out everything including the toilet paper as a punishment.
