Lets vote. Do you think I'll get a vacation over there?

[theandies]

I started a thread in the C3 general section asking why older threads are always being closed. Did the information for our C3's all of a sudden change and a thread from 2019, 2015 or even 2001 don't have good information in them anymore. I realize links and such may not work but there is still a ton of info in these threads. The mod just says "start a new thread". Then why have a search function. Why not just delete the threads after a year? It just doesn't make sense.

Will I get a vacation?
Yes or No

Oddly I have told several mods there years ago, by locking or removing old threads, it cuts off their nose despite their faces.

That information is where the “value” lies…

Doubt you’ll get the ban but locked likely

If you are white, yes.
If you are black, no.

Don’t see it?

Questioning moderation there? That's not just bannable, that warrants at least a public flogging if not hanging.

This.
The google search results while trying to get to the bottom of a car issue is where a lot of car forums build their membership. That's how I ended up on most of the forums I have joined over the years.

It depends, a large percentage of the guys with knowledge have moved on or have died. Odds are they won't get an answer.

Bringing up zombie threads about nonsense or old sale posts is likely why they have adopted this stance.

True moderation would be to leave the relevant threads active and close the zombies that don't offer real tech info or are fight threads.

That could depend on if they got their quota for the day!

It entertains me that they have a points system for infractions!

I'm sure that there's a way to discover what point totals I have been assigned on that shit website, but honestly, WGAFF? I'm hoping everyone sees the light and migrates over here.

You wanna debate a bannable offence? What do you think will happen when I post a thread about how awesome it is at www.thevettebarn.com?

The idiotic part is that the points have an expiration date...but they still contribute to "habitual offender" status. In other words, they NEVER expire.

It’s in C3 Tech, NOT C3 General

Might take it a bit longer for the mods to spot there?

DO IT!!!

I'm wondering if UD got a warning for posting links to his stories on CorvSport. He seems pretty quiet over there lately and hasn't been bragging about his professional writing career.

That's funny! I honestly don't miss any part of that place. I can still look at C4 ZR-1 stuff if I so desire, and OT is beyond tired. Get a few more folks on this OT, and I'm good to go!
