that is why i suggested taht just you and the supermods control it.

 

I did and the mods and I like it. I'm going to try and get that setup in the very near future. Just having a very hectic month so far

It would be pretty tough for us to decide reputation like that.

People could also help to stop the Vendor arguing by;

1. Reporting the threads as they see them and before they turn ugly.
2. Don't try to straighten out a stupid argument with a reply in the thread. It only makes thing worse.
3. Show the Vendors that you disapprove of their conduct with your wallet. Stop buying from them if their lack of professionalism online is bothersome to you. Start buying from other vendors on this site who keep a clean professional image. They will stop misbehaving if they perceive that it is effecting their sales.

 

Everyone just needs to drink a , smoke a bowl, or hang out in OT for a while... maybe all 3

badevo: The OTers have been sufficiently warned about hijacking on-topic threads. Off-topic is pretty much fair game; it's nearly impossible to stay on topic for very long, especially since so many of us are friends and what not. It's just sort a chat board at times.

 

I get what you mean about some of the vendor problems. There is a thread where negative comments where made public. I think these comments should have been discussed privately in PMs. The comments may lose the vendor some sales even though he has had plenty of posative reviews.

What would be the best way to handle this type of situation?

Edit: A mod already took care of this.

Thanks

 

its also alot of better on the subie forums because the wrx and sti are closer and compatible platforms, the lancer and the evo aren't compatible, and are very far away from each other as far as performance is concerned. so unless your running around in a turbo lancer, there is really no sence of likeness or interest between the evo and lancer oz / ralliart / whatever crowd like there is on subaru forums. well, at least this is my opinion. i think its a good topic, even though im talking about the person to person arguing rather than vendor to vendor.

 

i agree with you to some extent. however, we have been trying really hard to erase this line and make it one big laner community regardless of the trim. if there is one tihing that i hate and sure to get into a fight about is when i read a stupid comment like "what do you know, you only drive a lancer..". but don't think that the subaru board doesn't have the same problem. we do have a lot of kids over there that just bought an STi and say stuff like "you don't know crap because you drive a N/A GC8"

 

Thats the biggest load of crap. I have high morale, I love all you a-holes and buttwipes!

Seriously, people carry on with their opinions like they are the words of God (John Lingenfelter) himself. Honestly, I really wish people would lighten up their convictions a bit and carry out a little less factual information based upon their opinions. Otherwise, grammatical errors aside, I think we've got a great thing going here.
