Angry Everybody Read: Posting In General Forum

From now on I am having any posts that are posted in this section deleted if they are out of context. This forum has become a mess and it's because people throw anything in here for maximum exposure. I dont want to see anything about:

Tech issues
"Hi, I'm new here"
Installs
racing

etc.

We have forums for all of the above. Again, if you post anything in this forum that has home anywhere else, it will be gone, not moved. Just think before you post.

Any Flame wars, or putting down of anyone in an unproductive manner posts will be gone. Posts complaing about moderators and how we suck for moving your posts will get deleted.

If you have any problems with any of the above then please feel free to pm me.

?

then what kind of questions should be posted here becuase i think every question could be put in another category. I think the reason people dont put things in the appropriate section is because i dont think everybody on here looks at every section of the board. and its just easier for people to check one place than 20 or so. but your the dude in charge so i guess what you say goes : /

This is like asking why does a guy who owns an ITR run Lancer Forums...

Everyone uses General merely to attract more attention to their various posts. Simply put, the sub-forums are designed as filters so their isn't one big almagamation of random information in one area. Everyone wonders why posts get moved to the sub-forums, simply put, it's because that's where they belong. The posts that remain in General are either to vague or (literally) to general to be placed anywhere else.

i think there should be just 2 forums, one for US lancers and one for EVOs. it would be a lot easier looking in one forum instead of looking in all the forums for new stuff.

Sorry, but I disagree agsmooth84, I think having sub categories is a great idea. It enables the forums to be much more organized then say that of a 2 forum jumble. If I wanna find something about tech, I enjoy limiting my search time through the accessible sub category that actualy contains the needed information instead of shifting through 50 pages of crap about the US lancer I dont need. Just my two cents.....

Then go through the hassle of starting your own Lancer Forum then. Your here, posting and stuff, so stop giving us all grief on how it's suppossed to work.

I've been here since the first day this site was active. I know Mark, met him through Subaru meets he came to with some of his Suby owning friends, thats how I became a mod. If you think it's wrong I own a Subaru, send a PM his way and see what he has to say

We delete stuff, we get yelled at. We don't delete stuff we get yelled at... It's a double edged sword.

personally, i don't see what the big phuckin deal is. its plain and simple. those who don't like the way things are being runned then get the hell out and go find a nice ford escort forum or something else. The people who take time out of their busy day to make sure that this place isn't a waste of space should deserve some credit. In order for any forum to run smoothly there has to be some rules and regulations to keep things in check otherwise this place would be a huge ***** fest. if i ever say something out of line that gets deleted then so be it. that's the rule i'll have to follow if I choose to hang around in here. nobody is twisting my arm, I'm here on my on accord.
