why is ls1.com so slow?

[Ed Blown Vert]

And I am sure some of the members also got away without any warnings.

[Zboner]

and if you guys were a mod you couldn't go around bashin each other in the debate forums.

i mean even sarge had warnings im pretty sure...
Expletives... yeah right... i drop every swear word possible... prolly used 70% of them in one sentence never been warned... i know someone that is a mod has used one somewhere... and im not complaining... most ppl around here watch movies... and most ppl around here are 18 or over considering the forum... and i think there is a filter you can turn on (not sure been so long since i would have turned it off) if it offends you...

I've been "fake warned" for using expletives in a VERY offensive manner. It involved a cock and someone's mom or something hateful like that, I don't remember. They use the system if it needs it, and they aren't gonna act stupid and jump on people's asses every time someone says asses. No one would frequent the boards if they acted like this was a catholic preschool.

controversial topics... come one we have a seperate political section... thats all that happens in there... and some times you have to step on ppls toes to open thier eyes...

Thats why it's there. Almost anything goes in the political forum. Get on people's toes outside that forum and the warnings might rain down on you.

illegal/unethical... ls1.com does not promote street racing, but plz post your stories for all of us to read or enjoy...

I personally witnessed a thread shut down a week ago trying to sell pirated software. Tell stories about racing, but don't PROMOTE illegal activity, and try to utilize the site to make some illegal tranactions. Seems like a good use of the rules to me

sponsor bashing... if they suck they need bashed...

They pay for this site, which I enjoy. Bash them somewhere else out of respect for the fact that they support our site financially. I never understood why people don't understand that.

The point? The rules are guidelines, you can't make site rules and nazi them. To make for the best site possible, we all have to rely on moderator's discretion. Mrr made a good decision when he hit me for using expletives in the manner that I did, I can't complain that other people get away with dropping the f-bomb frequently just because I took it too far. You yourself benefit from mods discretion, like right here right now. Ed is pretty good at responding to threads like this to try and explain things to us, but he rarely warns people when they complain etc in these threads. He reads your feedback (read: bitching ) and responds, and then leaves it at that. I highly doubt he will warn you for telling him your opinions. Every system has it's flaws, but in a small environment like this site this is the best system

Someone that actually gets it. Thanks!!!

To be a Moderator, you have to be unbiased and neutral.

Well then you have a few that have made it clear they are not. I like how the site is run, but you have let alot of them get to comfortable.

[Bigrus]

Never asked to be a mod, i do however hope they get some new mods for other sections that have the knowledge and are not just "Friends of friends" It is nice to have mods who disagree with each other so you have a fair system.

[Ed Blown Vert]

Why do you think there are not enough Mods? I have not found any that I think can do the Job.


And no ones stands out in the Tech areas.

If no one can keep up with the sponsors, or make them answer members when they have a problem its not really wise to just let them do what they want unchecked. So either make it like lstech where they get answers from the sponsors, or let them say when they have been screwed over to warn others if they have proof.

Ed runs the site really well we all know it takes alot to run this site. However it is going to be one of those sites thats going to stay small if everyone breaks off into thier own little cliques.

[Bigrus]

No one is perfect.

No one said they have to be but when you have members who are such good friends with a cirlce of mods, or mods who just do blind justice for friends then you get into crappy middle ground where no one wins.

Also when you hav mods telling off members in open threads it leaves new people wondering if they want to be here. I agree me and 2 other members argue a bit much but i think we are being a little more tactful about it now.

[Zboner]

no one is breaking off into any cliques. its to small everyone knows everyone and i think majority of the members like it this way. LS1Tech is way to big and to many people on it

Well alot of people who have warnings for minor things but know alot about tech stuff are out of your list now. Im sure it is hard, but just having BS do nothing mods that just post in one thread do not help.

[Zboner]

i think the mods do a pretty good job my self here, but Ed's right no one stands out in the tech, maybe i can help next semester being that im headed off the mechanichs school this fall for a 4 year program

Like i have said soon it will be a site where if you were not around from the beginning you are not one of the crowd. Everyone will do the "Oh you missed this drama/inside joke" its not supposed to be that way on a car related board. If you want it to stay small make a personal forum for just friends.

so basically your asking for this site to be Utpoian in some sense?? because thats the problem with people, they like to tell stories and gossip with friends thats what people do. i like it here because its not strictly tech talk. it gets old after that same ole shit everytime, and most of the BS we do is on the Train anways and we always welcome new members in whenever they are willing to come in

[Zboner]

there is a personal form its called AAG

Did i say the site had to be perfect? I was around with the site way before the split for ls2 even and i know the AAG is what brings the traffic alot, but its not what the site is all about. You think its fine to "know" everybody and thats fine there is small boards for that, but on a site this like this the main idea is growth and knowledge not a group of people who ride the train daily.

If i had the tech knowledge i would be ripping those forums up, however i find it funny how people mods even are allowed to recommend other sites to go to instead of trying to help.

Im saying alot of good smart people who know that were warned for BS reason and now have no shot of being a tech mod.

[Zboner]

well when i finish mechanic school ill tear it up for ya buddy

You do know that if I did make those users who have warnings, Moderators. I would also get crap for that. There is no way to please everyone.
