Buck531 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I've been on a certain Monte Carlo forum since '01 and am the 3rd member on that site since it opened. I've been a mod, admin, everything. About a year ago the owner of the site just decided to drop me as an admin stating I didn't do anything. Whatever. Anyways. About a year or two ago we could post anything we want, NWS shit (as long as it was labeled correctly), swear, etc. Then I guess some of the kiddies on the board (lots of 16 year olds) started complaining about the words and NWS content on there since they were not 18. So they blocked NWs content (no boobs, sex, or hell, even a huge turd in the toilet) and censored words. So the other day I was on there and posted the huge turd that Linn posted in the pics and vids. The admin sent me an PM stating NWS content is forbidden. Now this is the guy that I let stay over at my house several times while he was travelling and needed a place to stay. We know each other personally and he's turned into a complete bag of douche in the past year or two. I just replied to him with "what a joke" and left it at that. How many other car forums are you on and they restrict what you say/do (in the lines of NWS content and language). ? It makes me respect this place and the freedom most of us have here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I always get the ban-stick threatened for being a dick to people, or cracking inappropriate jokes. I think CR has ruined me for normal forum usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.1cutlass Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 As long as it is properly labeled every other forum I am on does not have a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Know your audience I guess. Some forums are strictly technical and car related and they don’t want a bunch of off topic BS. Others are a lot looser, does it make it right or wrong, no but it is what it is so why complain about it? No different then the people who were bitching about have NWS stuff posted.

Fiji ST Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 There are a couple forums I used to be on that doesn't allow swear words at all, let alone risque photos. The Mazda forum I'm on now allow swearing, but no nudity. But then they have stupid rules like you're not allowed to bump your own For Sale thread, you have to be on-topic in any section other than the Lounge area or you get posts deleted/warned.

iwashmycar Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I recieved an infraction on another site for calling someone a tool...seriously.!? There was someone showing mailboxes they painted (sweet) and this tard had the audacity to bitch about "You cant sell stuff on here without being a Vendor" (pay for membership)... There was NOTHING about selling or buying...was just a 'Look at these things we made' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I know a forum that wont let you say anything political anymore. Seems like the majority of the mods ride Obama's pole and get their feeling hurt if you say anything bad about their messiah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the majority of the mods ride Obama's pole and get their feeling hurt if you say anything bad about their messiah. I think I know this place. I find myself about to post something about once a week, and then deciding it would probably get me in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Use irc if you want to post anything off topic. Politician talk is welcomed there. But don't get mad if they reply with a picture of a penis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlr8tn Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I mod at ls1.com and it gets a little crazy/stupid there at times but as long as it's in AAG and not a personal attack we let a lot slide. No pink, no personal attacks towards members, and nothing racist. Other than that we let most slide to an extent. We have a political area and I never even go in there, politics is just asking for drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.cos Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 on COS, we are pretty censored. No swearing, no NWS, just a family oriented forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I honestly think that the larger the forum, the stricter the rules. I've been a super-moderator on Maxima.org since '04 where there are now well over 85k members and the rules are pretty stringent in regards to where and what material you post. There is no area where you can post NWS material and there is a built-in swear filter as well, so that gives you an idea of the site. CR is VERY lenient IMO and I think for the active member list that we have, it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 How in the world do you mods have time to be mods on multiple boards? Do you only sit in front of your computer all day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
