Hm.
Can't say anything much better than this:

First off... there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you guys don't see.
Mostly because the stuff that gets deleted is only going to stir the pot and put one group against another. Not because we have some deep dark secret that Camaro5.com is trying to hide.
As a general rule anything that will instigate a fight will get closed. Look at all the Mustang threads that we leave open until it gets ugly then we close it.... it used to happen weekly...
A lot of times when we have a parting of the ways with a member, we choose not to respond as we'd rather not appear to be bashing anyone. obviously we have the upper hand as we can delete and edit anything that gets posted here. so for us to go toe to toe with members in most cases just makes us look bad... So in the end we just close or delete it so the site and our members don't have to deal with the drama that comes with being a site this big.
Some sites hang out the dirty laundry for all to see... we'd rather not do that. We'd rather keep the drama to a minimum so the majority of our members can just enjoy the site and be a part of the community.
I'm not going to comment on Scotty. He and I do not get along nor do we see eye to eye. So it would not be fair for me in particular to comment. I'm biased.
But we did not force him to leave. And he is welcome back should he choose to come back. But like any member he has to play by the same rules as anyone else.
As I said earlier.....
We prefer to keep the bickering and controversial stuff off our boards. Even if it makes us look bad at times. For now it seems to be working.... I don't see us changing the way this site is run any time soon.
And no, I won't close the thread, nor will anyone else, until it becomes disrespectful or argumentative.
FWIW.

I WILL add, however...it's impossible to please everyone. We make decisions based on past experiences on this site, and the intent to maintain a fun, clean place for as many people as possible to enjoy. If that makes you uncomfortable, I am terribly sorry -- but it's worked so far, and like Gtahvit, I don't see it changing.
