Also, maybe OT sections for each generation would help?
I'd really pity whoever got the job of moderating that and had to separate S197 related talk from the general sort of BS that goes on in Off-Topic now.

The only issue I have with Moderators is, I don't think it's fair to lock a thread because of one or two @sshole members that go out of wack.
Should it be a way to lock the morons out of a particular thread?
So they can't post their BS?
Actually, is it possible to have this feature?
A Mod would PM a warning first about a BS coment and if another one comes up, lock the bastard out of the damn thread.
I know it's easy for me to say that and I don't know what's involved to run such a big site, so please forgive me.
I have to say THANKS to Mods that are allowing regional meet threads in this section right now.
Got to give credit when it's due .
Over all, you guys ROCK!

This is my plea to the mods. Leave S197 related threads where the original poster intended them, so long as they comply with the MF TOS. This is the main section, and the place where people come for S197 related talk and tech. Don't take the talk out.
this is exactly what we do
perhaps you should read The Rules again. especially number 4
and technically, this should be moved too, but you all need to see it
oh, and about the pictures posting: if you can find a good excuse (ie, "ive installed new mods", not "look, i washed my car") then it will prbably stay here, as long as it isnt only pictures (describe your modifications)
If it was describing a SPONSORS products. I don't see the big deal. Seems like "certain" mods have a problem with certain people. Because let me say it again, you moved my thread. Yet others stay.

I can agree with the OP.. at least when we talk about our cars here there is a sense of maturity going into most posts. I absolutly hate when stuff gets moved to the OT section and gets over run by idiotic teenagers spewing nonsense. The attitude between this and the OT section is completely different.
Miranda is right about this. OT section attacks new female members like vultures.

. What I do not appreciate is the disrespect that you are showing by posting this thread on the open S197 forum instead of coming to any of the moderators in this section or any other section for that matter and presented your problem via PM/email (i.e. deleted thread or moved thread with/without a tracer). This is the reason you are lashing out and personally if you are a mod on another forum you should know this could have been handled differently and in a much better way than calling out the section moderators for the S197 section. J - S197 section moderator quote:
ORIGINAL: DarkFireGT
I
I don't understand this comment? Why do mods feel that they are being called out or disrepected?
I read the Original post and it just seemed that he was asking a legit question and making a request. Perhaps there are others who have the same questions or concerns and by posting in the forum it allows everyone to understand what is going on and why things are done.
Wouldn't you rather have one thread that explains "why things aere the way they are" or would you rather receive 200 PM's asking the same question?
What's the harm in an open discussion? Now if the thread went downhill and you started having the childish insults being thrown around and stuff like that, I could understand the frustration. But this thread hasn't gone that direction.
I personally don't care if threads get moved. It isn't that difficult to click a couple times to go into a different section. I do however enjoy the pic threads in this section cause I don't want to look at fox bodies and such either.
Just my .02 for what it's worth

the only way we can do this is to delete each and every one of their posts, which is tedious and time consumming, and hard to keep up with them and how fast they post some times. thats why sometimes we just lock the thread
oh and redfireshaker06,
quote:
The Rules
4.Double posting is not allowed and can result in the deletion of one or both posts. Double posting is defined as posting the same information in two or more separate forums. We understand that some topics might fit into more than one forum. Please try to pick the best one. In addition, please do not post in the same thread back to back (another version of double posting), if you have something more to add, edit your post, don't post twice in a row in a thread.
.....
13. Moderators and Administrators have final word in anything and everything. If you have a problem or a complaint direct it to them, not to the general forums. They will then take the appropriate actions. This applies to issues with the forum in general, as well as issues with other members.
i've explained why some threads stay and others get moved several tmes to you. In the end its up to the mods. If youre not sure if a thread will be moved when you post it, just ask a mod to allow it before you post it, and put "allowed by_____" in the title. in a lot of borderline cases (like the meet threads) we will allow it to be here. Otherwise, if you don't ask, it will almost certainly be moved
your idea for seperate picture sections is a fairly good one, but as it stands right now, the photosection is for photo whoring
oh yeah, and don't get mad at me. moving your threads is absolutely nothing personal

True, Kara ventured there once and it wasn't a memorable experience for her .
But you and some other girls are bullet proof anyway .
OT is mostly about politics and @ss, so it kinda limits what I want to talk about.
I do go there and goof off a little, nothing wrong with that .

Only option is if your post gets moved to OT, try to ignore what you don't want to see or hear.
If that is impossible, retreat. Or as an OT mod so eloquently put it to me, GTFO.

Miranda is right about this. OT section attacks new female members like vultures.
That only happens with a handfull of members in Off Topic, not the entire section.
Good luck on getting your own picture section too...maybe you want your own section to talk about the weather?
I find it hilarious though when some of you keep posting OT/Streetstrip stuff in Tech sections, forgetting that when you make a thread that does nothing to talk about tech, you bump another thread that actually calls for help off the first page onto the second page....and for what?
Some of you can follow the rules. NICE!
Some of you can't even do that, and would rather just whine and bitch to get your own way because its way too hard to follow a few simple rules.
FYI, there is an ignore button (its titled as the Block button with a red hand) that you can click on to ignore any member you wish, so if you ever venture into Off Topic, you will not see the stereotyped "window licker's" posts. Off Topic has its members that are worthless, but it also has members that can contribute to a good discussion. If you would rather just focus on the worthless members as representatives of the entire section, you really should just keep your mind shut and GTFO.

It's only a bad coincidence that the entire post was connected with a reply to your statement. So neither.

I'll second the motion to create a S197 Photo gallery for the "I washed my car" posts in the 2005-2008 Section.

Well, while we're at it.........
Why not make us a "female forum members" section for us to discuss girly issues?
