Mark, I think Hooby is hinting at something here.

 

You guys seem to have an odd definition of a flame. Most of this stuff is pretty low key or obviously not serious.

then again, maybe i'm just an ******* that doesn't get offended easily...

 

my opinion...flaming is fun
my moderating opinion...it looks childish and makes the board look bad

 

Most...yes....but there are some definite flames out there. Most of them are fairly petty. What I see as more of a problem is people who are obviously trying to instigate arguments not directly correlated to the threads.

Anyone dig what I'm throwin' atcha?

 

that's what i'm talking about

 

I dig, but there's very little actual flaming on this board.

 

Yeah, I think that this forum is one of the most civilized I've seen on the internet. Any "flaming" that there I've seen, are obvious jokes. So, I say, rock on.

 

look at www.rs25.com
it's great..no flaming and we use self moderation there..it works great

 

I have no problem with a few OT posts in threads, but when there are pages of posts with little to no relevance it can get annoying. I'd like to see some content mixed in as well. I think one big problem is the US Lancer has such a small aftermarket support at this time and the Evo isn't here, so we're stuck with a community waiting and minimal tech conversations.

An example of a great community with information and conversation would be honda-tech.com's competition section. There's a ton of information available with the occasional blurb from the common members joking with each other. That makes the place fun and informational.

If everyone in this community makes the decision to try and participate in discussions and help keep others who vear off, on-track, then I think we'll have a great place without the need for "****" moderators.

If anyone would like to moderate a particular section or expand to new areas, feel free to email me. I really want people who are dedicated to these forums and would like to see them grow.

Mark
