WTF is so hard about following a few simple rules??
If people just took a few seconds to follow them instead of being too lazy, we wouldn't need to waste time with this thread, with people whining, or having to police the Classifieds.
the problem comes when you inplace the ruels... i for one have been a member here for several years and have over 5000 posts, until last year i had not ever posted anything in the classifieds section so i did not know of the separate rules for just that section... i had never been in there for anything other than to brouse. had never posted anything so i didnt know there was rules(again never posted in there). i will admit i messed up and i was ignorant of the rules my post was "wrong" but the mods did not have to delete the thread. -that is equally (if not more so) lazy to do. it was not malicious or ment to be a "F U" to the rules, it was an honest mistake that i made unknowingly. and im sure most others are the exsact same way. really how many of the posts in the classified section are in violation? what percentage? if you are saying its too many to deal with then it sounds to me like you need to do one of two things, maybe both;
1 get more mods.
2 make the rules a bit more obvious, you have the ability to change the lay out of things and add things to the main pages...
you guys need to do everything in your power before you come out and start pointing the fingers at the members -that is laziness.
i am a mod on another 4x4 site, and these issue never come up. if someone is out of line or they make and infraction we ALWAYS notify them about it before taking any action, and give them a chance to wright their wrong/correct there mistake. blaming others is childish and pathetic and a poor excuse for incompetence
why is it so hard for you as a mod to accept that and work with people. thats your job as a mod, not to be grouch with an axe and chop threads like firewood. sorry we are a few members here who actually care and care enough to step up to the plate and voice our concerns -afterall it was a mod who started this whole topic, so dont come here telling us to basically get bent and deal with it. you guys asked, we are responding and trying to give input and constructive criticisms, only because we care. if we didnt care we wouldnt be "fighting" for this. and sadly there is only a few of us who are willing to speak out.
for me this is not about my old post -that ship has sailed and whats done is done, it was a learning experience for me. i am here now because this is an ongoing issue and no one is doing anything about it other than complaining and watching as it continues to happen. all of us are sick of it but only the mods and admin have the power to do anything about it. im not saying you guys are not doing anything about it, but from our(the members) point of view, no you are not, because we can not see it, and perception is reality -its just the way it is right or wrong. i am here to help find a solution to the problem. several members here have suggested solutions, but all the mods seam to want to do is "na say" them and tell us how thats impractical and wont work. what we are not seeing is any mods coming up with ideas on how to improve things. and i think that speaks volumes. you have to be the change you want to see in the world, and if no one is willing to change, nothing will change.
