Request to Moderators

[x626xBlack]

Could we get popular topics stuck? So there are not so many repeats of certain subjects?

A few come to mind:
Favorite Color Poll
A6 vs M6


We need a greetings area:
Sub forum for all greetings and new members or new Camaro owners.

I believe greeting threads go here. Everyone wants to see pictures. I put pictures in my greeting and it was moved to the Pictures area...

Members please add any topics you think should be stuck.

Im one of those reposters

There's been a lot of threads I'd like to see stickied. I created one where a few people had asked... but I can bump them every so often. I think the biggest problem is the lack of a search function. I created a thread about winter driving (after searching I didn't find exactly what I was looking for)... three days later give or take, someone makes the exact same post (my thread had gone to page two).

Could we get this moved to the correct section?

Thank you.

HAHA... so are you saying this is a re-post about requests to stop re-posting?

Do you mean oblivion? Anywhere other than here is a total thread killer.

He means here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=7

Right PQ?

It is the nature of internet forums.. even with sticky topics (and search options) a large number of people will post a new topic instead of look at old ones. I'd rather NOT have a ton of stickies up top but rather a few more useful ones.

Please no more "Which CAI to get threads". Must be at least 2-3 new ones each day.

I run my own forums and Mod a few others and YES. There is nothing that can be done about a few things.

People not using SEARCH
People not reading a thread before replying.
People not looking at Stickies first.


I posted my greeting here because I saw that as the trend, and actually did not see the OT forum.

Maybe put the Greeting area at the Top?

The way I have my Forums set up is that a new user recieves a Welcome email after they register which this site does. However under the greeting is a line "Please come and introduce your self here" with the URL.

There is also an auto PM sent to New users asking them to introduce them selves in a specific url..... Some people do not read any emails after their verification email.

My understanding is this:

A thread "I just got a New Camaro...here are some pictures" would go in General Camaro Area.

A thread "I love Bacon" would go in OffTopic.

A thread with pictures of a 2013 Z-28 would go in the spyshots area.

I apologize if I have breached any protocols.
