*moving Forearms to the "watch list" in 3.. 2.. 1.. *






Don't know what to tell you man... There are many other sites available. We never expected to be the only Camaro site. The good news is there are options.

Again, I don't get paid to be here, none of us do... So you are just gonna have to take the good with the bad... we try to be fair... but I'm not arrogant enough to say that I always am.

Just trying to be honest with you.

Just like life, some people like you and some don't. It's something we ALL deal with at some point. It's part of life and C5 is no different.

Definitely a lot of truth to this. The whole 'women of C5' thing is ridiculous as well. Most of them aren't as attractive as they think they are, or as attractive as the perverts around here say they are. But they're in that 'protected' group so it's anything goes for them.

i think this is my number one complaint. It seems a certain group is the movers and shakers on a free wesbite

dude mod your thread I got banned for ten days saying that

I was hoping more of my attempt to bridge the gap would be acknowledged other than one sentence....

I guess this thread will simply serve as a reminder that we, in fact, can't make everyone happy.

Sux to be me I guess...

I think you may have misunderstood what I meant. It's nothing against all female members of the forum. It's more to the 'protected' ones who don't even own Camaros, they're just eye-candy and they're allowed to post racy pics while others get banned/warned for similar pics. I won't say anymore or mention that they're just looking for attention ******************
But ultimately what I'm saying has nothing to do with female members like yourself. I've seen your posts around and they contribute more to the car side of things. If that makes any sense?

Chris, you got a job to do and I think most of us know that. Do what you gotta do.

The criticism is also valuable to us even though we may not like it.

Having said that, there are no plans to charge members and a free for all never stays contained in the free for all thread. We tried that with a politics/religion thread and it caused more problems out side of that section then we could manage. We were banning, editing, and deleting left and right...

IMO it ruined the site for a while and took us months to clean this place up.

The hardest thing for moderators to do is accept that we can't possibly make 40K members all happy... This site just can't be all things to all people. So we stick to the guidance that the owners give us and do our best to keep the site in that realm...

Do we have favorites.. absolutely... Do I wish I could go around and post my true feelings on certain vendors, both those I like and those I dislike... you bet. But I can't. Do I wish I cold go off on some people... Yes, yes, I do...





ssump29,

You have touched on the one thing I hate about being a moderator here.

This is not directed at you but you are shedding light on the worst part of our role as a moderator.

I HATE the fact that I can't defend our actions here. We have a rule that whatever happens between us and a banned member or sponsor we may not discuss it publicly... So, our side of the story is never told. And we are bashed and trashed by the person we banned and we just have to sit here and take it.... I can't begin to tell you how much that sucks... I actually contemplated starting a web site where I would post the history of every email, PM and post of those people who flamed us for holding them accountable to the rules of this site.... Not that I actually would do that but you can imagine how difficult it is to just keep quiet.....

Other than the obvious troll we don't air out other's dirty laundry...

Even when we are perfectly justified, out of professional respect for members and vendors, we have nothing to gain by blasting those we don't get along with...

Sorry for the rant... but being a mod is not really all fun and games.

FWIW.

Chris

And see I completely understand that, thats why when I read what he was saying I wish I could hear the other said of the story and wanted to see more e-mails as I know he only put the e-mails out that could cause damage. But with that explanation it makes a lot more sense and I take back my comment about losing respect for you guys, as I don't know what kind of nasty stuff he may have sent you guys.
