Everybody on here is afraid to post what they are thinking because at the whim of the the moderator, you can be dismissed just like that.
And I see that there is some activity on facebook, but those postings are hare to follow as they are serial and you have to go thru all of the post to see if anything is new. Big waste of time.

You'd be hard pressed to find a moderator that walks as fine a line as ours. People get warned, they get tolerated, and if they still insist on crossing the line, well then they get scarce for a while. Seems to work pretty well.
Sorry that Facebook is hard - my kids tell me nobody under the age of 30 uses it anyways, so it'll pretty much go away eventually.

How about a moderator that lets people express themselves without fear.?Quote:

I've no way to know what you posted that was edited/deleted, but 24,000 members and 600,000 posts suggests the forum is working well.Quote:

The Moderator of ths Forum is NOT THE PROBLEM & HAS NEVER BEEN THE PROBLEM!!
I've been warned and the Moderator of this Forum has treated me VERY FAIRLY!!
The problem is Internal to the F500 Class!

If you have actual F500 questions/comments/information, this is the place to be.

So how is posting that the president was at the Daytona 500 political?
Please enplane.

Look at your thread title. F500 content, please. :D
I don't recall that post word for word. . . but I believe it was where the thread went from there that got the entire thread locked/wiped out.Quote:

Nope, wasn't suggesting that at all. Just look at the posts in the current thread and you have somebody already bashing the President.Quote:

All of it is completely unnecessary. If you are trying to get banned, you've done a fantastic job.
If you can't play nice—and it's obvious that you can't—then you can't play here on ApexSpeed.
