WTF is up with this bull**** of deleting peoples entire post counts cause they like to be social? Are you now in the buisness of putting your self out of buisness? Was this site not created and dedicated to the community? Are you now attempting to supress those who use the community to communicate, have fun and learn? Im sorry but what the **** is this ****? Am i the only person who thinks this is total bull ****? Look i know by saying whats on my mind will only make me a target but come on do you think that was fair punishment? I sure as hell dont, if you think that certain people who participate on here dont contribute enought to your notion of what is "ideal" does that mean that they shouldnt be a part of this community? I mean simply because i find more value in meeting new people, talking to those people and of course JOKING with those people does that make me a bad person? Look i know i screw around here just as much or more then anyone on here and if anything i should be "contained" probably more then anyone else. But this is crap man, this community that you have created then fostered is just that a community. If you cant see the value in that then perhaps you should state EXACTLY what your goals are for this site and the "community" in general. Look i know there is money invovled with the building of such a community and i can see the buisness model in it all but you allso need to understand that you need to foster the more social aspects of this community then simply "crap i broke XXXX how do i fix it". If you want to build a strong community then you need to support the COMMUNITY aspects of it. If you want to make millions of dollarz and date super models then learn to throw some sort of leather encrusted ball into someones hands or a metal ring.

Maybe im just being bullish and jumping the gun here but i do think stripping away people of their social standing in such a community is completely beyond the realm of fair and just. While post counts and titles and what not may not be important to some to others it may be. I for one dont care about avatars, post counts, titles, etc. But i can see how others would find comfort in them, as it can be viewed as a level of acceptence in a community.


So i suppose this post serves as a question to the powers that be.

Why did said people get stripped of everything?

And what are the goals for this place?

And how long will it take for you to ban me?

 

im still discussed at the actions that where taken to some members ... the post count is a social standing and deleting there whole post count is a load of CRAP...

im with ANDRE on this one....its pure bull-****

The purpose of a technical forums web site is to contribute technical info and ask technical questions.
Why should it matter how many times you posted a stupid dancing banana?!

If you want to talk about pointless bullsh!t, call them on the phone AND STOP WASTING MODERATER TIME!

 

who cares? it's a msg board.

 

The purpose of this forum isnt technical its for BAIC people to get to gether and socialize

Some of that fraternizing will be of a playful joking manner.

I agree i dont want to see people posting dancing monkies or what ever in a tech thread about proper ignition mapping and fuel curves but face it i have yet to see such a technical thread in BAIC. Technical questions are best asked in the technical portions of said forum.

 

wow andre what a nice speech. now i'm wondering if any mods will delete this...


but even so, i agree

 

Just trying to press the issue a bit so it can get resloved, lots of bruised egos and hurt feelings cause of the actions that occured.

 

its bullshiz if you ask me
why would it matter in a public forum...

 

thats an under statement i heard of another I-club

edgar,

 

dude, people got stripped of posts, not an olympic gold medal.

 

all i hear is blah blah blah Im a stupid n00b that finally got punished for postwhoring. LMFAO.

j/k . Im staying out of this one and im willing to bet nothing will come of this thead. No deleted posts, no banned members, nothing!

You're all gonna sit glued to the chair by the computer with your 60post count and try to get your 4000+ post count [cough] Zoeb [cough/] Why? because it's friday, you ain't got no job and you ain't got sh*t to do!

^LOL

Seriously. Who gives a rat's *** about post counts? It sure as HELL doesn't reflect anyone's Subaru knowledge like it used to.

I agree but none the less some people feel different
