Put together your lists of bitches and gripes, tell them how you really feel. Post it and send pm's to all who you want to read it.

Stand by for the quick perma-band, but you got your message across.

Now forget about that place, they haven't done a damn thing for you.

Seriously, how can a moderator take out their revenge on a member from a OFFLINE Private message conversation? I mean typing something on the open forum is understandable but a PM? He has now twice banned my screen name for six months terms, from these offline conversations/arguments. Him and his favorite suck up groupies, gang up on guys they don't feel agree with their opinions, then shun your words. He's edited/deleted and otherwise changed the entire meaning of my posts by his omissions of the words posted. GFY dickhead. Yes, I would repeat these words in person. Waiting for the day.
People behave differently in person than they do on the internet...

I don't understand why somebody disregards being genuine the moment they start posting on an internet forum. And this place is not completely immune from that either, it's just a bit less uptight.

A wise indian man once told me that it is pointless to attempt to understand the actions of others, the only thing you can do is worry about your own actions.

At the end of the day, don't concern yourself with trivial bullshit on an internet forum. Make some friends, gain some knowledge, and go on with your life...

Because frankly, spending copious amounts of time on an internet forum, thinking you are important when you are not, is not a life.

Considering that sight is corporate owned, i'm surprised that the higher ups don't have something to say about the tyrannical strong-armed style of leadership over there sometimes. I mean, you are essentially alienating your potential customers behaving in such a way. It's bad for business.

Very well written!

I do believe he has an authoritive mind set and feels he stands higher than most. You know the retired dried up useless cop that has the need to control....But the hypocrisy is astounding! He once started a thread on off topic using an derogatory adjective calling the entire group “morons” (forgive me I can’t remember the exact term he used). Then proceeded to be offended by the pokes he got in return....

Creep

I’ve never complained to the higher ups. Latest was another twist, I asked a question of savewave off line by PM. This POS tells me that I posted my question on a thread and it had to be deleted by Savewave..... NOT! Jerkoffs can’t even follow their own rules!!!

as long as the paying sponsors keep writing checks, no one cares.

criticize a sponsor? even if you are right...

Hmm. I don't own a C3 anymore, but when I did, C3 General and C3 Tech were generally pretty even keeled compared to the ludicrous nature of Off-Topic and PR&C. But what do I know, I rarely post over there anymore. Once in a blue moon, but it's rare. I don't even lurk...I can't remember the last time I even went to that forum.

This is still true. Until my posts appear in C3! There’s a group over there that just hates anything that has to do with stock/NCRS guys and cars. Really, it’s become a shit junko mod put together Frankenstein’s crowd...Off Topic is great, I do miss many there..... PRC well now... just insane!

This is why forums need to make people like me, who don't let power go to their heads, moderators and administrators.

it's not the moderators who you have to fear, you know who they are and how to appease them.

it's the stealth moderators you have to fear. they look just like any other user. no special tags on their profile. but they can get you banned with a simple PM to the right weasel.
