We've always let people go with the flow and post whatever they wanted here. People were respectful to others, friendly, and helpful. That hasn't been the case here lately. The moderation staff has been tasked by the administration with making the forum a kinder, gentler place...

Because of a few bad apples, things are going to change around here. We didn't need to tell people the rules before, but we do now.

If you've acted like an adult previously, thanks, we truly appreciate it. BUT if you've acted like a child, you will be treated like one. You'll be warned, temp banned, and if the behavior continues, you'll be permanently banned from the site.

We just want current members to contribute in a positive way.... and make this forum more welcoming to new members.

The rules can basically be summed up as this: "If you've got nothing good to say, then say nothing at all".

Please review the rules here:

John, what about drunk posts... I tend to do that from time to time
















Sorry we have made it hard for you guys

AcUrAge703

i have no problem with the sum up of the rules...isnt that why forums where created...for stupid people to ask smart people questions...good job...i like whem people Act their age...it takes respect to get respect but everyone should be a role model in some way or the other.

GreenMonster

That's what we're trying to promote here... mutual respect...

Beavisboots

I definitly think its a good idea to enforce the rules. I've been here a little over a year and noticed a few "bad apples." Just the other day I was reading some posts and was disappointed with the way some people were behaving. You shouldn't be afraid to post something because others may flame you or call you stupid. We are all here to help others, nobody made us join this forum.

Its good to know that the staff at Azine is set on making this a friendly forum. And it absolutly won't kill anyone to answer some noob questions. Just give a friendly response and nicely suggest that the "noobs" search, the forum is full of GREAT info. Like my parents always said: If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all; and no question is a stupid question.

Glad to see this being put into place. I enjoyed the forum when I first joined, hopefully we can get it back to the way it used to be.

^that means teh ban hammer of Ron A is going to be busy...

BigLizard

as long as everything is running smooth, the ban hammer won't be coming down as often as you think.

TypeStylinOnU

i havent noticed any bad apples, just alot of cocky people who think they can say whatever they want online, because their MOM bought them million dollar parts so they're automatically better then everyone else haaaaaaaaaaaa

Ralphie917

I will say i get tired of seeing people constantly saying "search, search, search" and then proceeding to make the person feel like an idiot because he didnt take an hour of his time to sift foward and back through a clutter of worthless posts (in search of the one post somewhere that someone typed 2 years ago).... or because he couldnt search for a 3 letter word like EGR or MAF or HRE or the dozen other 3 letter words you cant search for.

Id like to be able to have an honest opinion when i think someones wheels or mods dont look good. If they ask for an opinion or post pictures in hopes of approval and dont get it, they should develop a little thicker skin.

& wen sum1 iz fenna type like uh cumpleet foolz <---- no mercy should be shown

Thats the one thing i cant stand! I dont get why people type like the were on a phone sending a text message. IF YOU HAVE A FULL KEYBOARD.......USE IT! lol

TypeStylinOnU

how do you delete your account from this site?

Islandsnowz

I'm glad this has been addressed.

Beavisboots

Believe it or not, some people actually browse from their phones and might not have a full keyboard. Most smart phones these days have full keyboards so it would not apply. I have the AT&T tilt phone and it has the full keyboard. I was doing some firmware updates one time and messing with some rom kitchens for a while so I switched my sim into my old razr phone for about a week. When you get used to using your phone for internet browsing it became a PIA using the number pad to type out full sentences. Regardless, it can't be that important that you can't type out full sentences so I have to agree that it is annoying to read posts that look like texts.

Outstanding!

GreenMonster

You can't. Acurazine never delete accounts.

TypeStylinOnU

why is that? if u sign up somewhere you should be allowed to delete your account

AnthraciteBeast

iTrader: (3)

Oh i believe it because i do it all the time. I have a full keyboard on my BBC and im on this site alot on it. But i know some might not have a full keyboard which is why i said IF you have one, use it

Beavisboots

Even without the keyboard, there is T9/word completion. I have heard people say T9 is annoying however, I found it very useful on my very old nextel from way back.

So since when is controversy not good entertainment? Sounds like the new rules will make the site more boring.

BigLizard

these rules were always here, just not strictly enforced.

If you don't like it you can leave.

davepaul033

iTrader: (1)

I was just stating my opinion in a non dickhead manner. No need to be rude, and this is exactly how immature arguments get started fyi

BigLizard

There was nothing immature about what I said. Stop trying to moderate me. You aren't AZ staff.

Your opinion is exactly why we have bad apples crapping up good threads. This isn't an argument, drop it.

BigLizard

As explained before, in the model forums we want everybody to feel welcome and give out good help when needed.

These model forums are not for controversy or entertainment. That's what the off topic forums are for.

GreenMonster

If you want some excitement or entertainment, head over to ramblings

As for boring, that was addressed in the rules:

I've been on forums that are civil and aren't boring... Heck, the CL forums used to be like that. Personally, I'm tired of older members saying that the forums here aren't what they used to be...

We want to encourage people to post without having them worry about e-thugs giving them a hard time. More people post, more info is exchanged new ideas are expressed, and you don't get bored. How's that sound ??

AnthraciteBeast

iTrader: (3)

^ that's understandable but we can't all agree with everything everyone does. There has to be different opinions and there's going to be arguing which isn't always bad. I mean we can't all pretend we like everyone and be fake

On another note, I don't see anything wrong with what DAVE said

total :4CENTS:

davepaul033

iTrader: (1)

I agree with what you are saying, but a little controversy could not hurt.


Thanks BEAST

BigLizard

I agree on the controversy bit. A little won't hurt because yes, nobody's opinions are going to be the same at any given point.

FWIW, I took your comment the wrong way. Forgive me for sounding harsh.

evan03CL

wait. did the thread about not arguing and bickering just turn into a thread about arguing and bickering? haha but seriously I love this forum

davepaul033

iTrader: (1)

It's all goooooood, but next time I might ban you!! hahah

chtrcy

I hoped to see something positive coming from this. I see so many new people get flamed or verbaly abused for asking a question.

I'm with the rules...all the way!

Got my support.

black label

So true, I saw a turtle attack a pigeon there and a Sarlacc attack a paint baller.

invisiblewar

i think the problem is that most ramblings members are also members of the cl subforum. so when theres downtime in the ramblings part we head over here and see potential victims. i know ive been guilty of starting arguements before, or assisting in them (i said ass lol)but i do think the forum should be put back to where it was a year ago

invisiblewar

with that being said...

where is thinjim with his rwd cl!????
