NO, NOT AT ALL!!!! and that was only someone quoting it from a previous post.... That was Danica Patrick BTW... No there has been A LOT of speculation about why, but it's pointless... The mods see that and just rag on all the speculation while not answering our question as to why... And there have been worse pics up, and all they do with that is delete that post, or take out the pic...

No we're not. There's also administrators. And while some stuff shows up as to who did what, that is not always the case.

Maybe Tag closed it because he thought that some of you were going to pass his post count. Or gtahvit closed it to frame Tag. Or Dragoneye closed it to make himself feel better. Or Tran closed it because the purpose of this site is to talk about the Camaro, not inflate post counts. Or Moose closed it because he was bored. Or MarkLS2 closed it because he doesn't get the chance to close many threads and figured nobody would miss that one. Or radz282003 closed it because he felt the post whoring was getting out of hand. Or I closed it and I just posted that question to throw you off. And maybe I know what the reason is and just told you, but mismatched the mod/admin intentionally. Or maybe it was an honest question and I don't have a bloody clue.

But exactly my point! Dancing around the bush, not giving us an answer so we can learn from our mistake(s)...

although i agree that it would be nice to know what we did wrong (if that was even the case here) so we don't do it again, i also believe we should just drop the issue and move on with this thread.

probably gonna get bashed for this, but... the Native Americans got driven out of the lands they called home and had many good times in. when they questioned the authorities, the results were far less than good. they moved on with their lives, and in the end, the authorities acknowledged that, even with good intentions for the masses, what they did hurt some people & they apologized. they then gave the Native Americans special things (land, gambling rights, etc) in consolation. all (for the most part) was forgiven and there is less animosity now.

Well most of the reasons given to why it couldn't have been closed were very dumb reasons to close it, to make mods feel better? bored? somone doesn't close enough threads? we should talk about only camaro? ??? If mods were scared of people pasing their post number why wasn't random picture thread closed it has almost 4k post on it. and btw tag has 8,000 post no body could beat that unless tag just stop coming to the site.

Uhh,

I think you mean beating around the bush or dancing around the issue...



So you were using the WYSIWYG mode for posts. That makes sense. I can't Imagine mobile browsers can handle all that client side script. I thought about asking you if you used the advaced text mode... but I didn't...:(

The good news is you figured it out.

I couldn't agree more...The topic needs to be dropped as of NOW!

Correct sir. No fun allowed. Crack Whore thread, Post whore thread, picture whore thread....video whore thread...thread never ends whore thread, another whore thread...and another whore thread...whore whore thread thread,,,

Sorry...but 15,000 or so posts of whoring is straight up crazy!

I remember being on z28.com and was a new member. I posted from time to time, but mostly read. Then, one day they opened a new thread to help get them to 1 million posts before the new year. I think I hit up about 700 posts in a couple days.

Only thing is we aren't trying to do that here...
^ Tag in post whore 1



Here is the answer you seek.

This site does not want Random off-topic posts. It's their site, they choose the rules.

Many similar sites, have similar rules...I checked.

The way others seem to whore, is by posting new threads, with sub-topics.

However, it has been made clear here, that the total number of off-topic posts of any kind is offensive to our hosts.

I deleted 300 of my whory posts, because my post count was a kiddy game with another member. My post count is not important to me.

No more kiddy games. No more picture threads, etc., etc. This site is for Camaro business only.

End of crappy subject, as far as I am concerned. Thank you.

Umm, I guess?
And I tried both 'Quick Reply' and 'Go Advanced' and neither had worked... But once I found the button, either way worked...
