Emotions and personal feelings have no value except for those looking for social gains. Ramble, ramble, ramble.....

Just wanted to give a jolt from the side of considering the forum is growing and pointing out that there are lots of reasons for why people want to buy Zs and be here.

who are these jerks you speak of??

it's me............isnt it........lol

par4bmw · 02-18-2009, 11:31 PM

Ha ha, no man. Not about calling out jerks. Must have had just too much juice at dinner tonight and I felt guilty.

02-18-2009, 11:32 PM

Dont lie....you are blaming all Canadians

nogoodname · 02-18-2009, 11:33 PM

speaking of juice at supper, i had lots of unsweetened orange juice.......jeezzz....it's quite strong

Here here!! Here's to a great forum. As said earlier, if this site ends up like my350z, I will have to give the two fingered salute!

ctzn · 02-19-2009, 12:55 AM

I see a lot of growth in this here forum so I hope we can continue to hold ourselves to a high standard.

par4bmw · 02-19-2009, 01:06 AM

It certainly does mean biting the tongue at times.

BanningZ · 02-19-2009, 09:32 AM

I've noticed a lot of new members which have an intentional drag on the site.
Trolls exist now...lame. it was fun for a while, but I think we are going to need some site mods added to the usual fray. The 350Z forum crowd has made it here and things are getting d1ckish.

Lame

drmike · 02-19-2009, 09:54 AM

^^ totally agree. Forum mods are the way to go. I hate to see good sites get pulled down by trolls, especially this one.

nogoodname · 02-19-2009, 12:16 PM

Nominate me.......ok?

I'm a respectful guy and I'm always here

klubbheads · 02-19-2009, 12:38 PM

I am suspecting this forum will be as good as it is till young posers get their hands on this car when it is used and cheaper. We just have to let them calm down and as soon as someone thinks that the 370z is like a Ferrari, like they do at my350z.com, he/she needs to be e-kicked in the face. As long as we kick them in the face like we do on g35driver, the forum should stay as informative and fun as it is now.

nogoodname · 02-19-2009, 12:46 PM

Gotta keep them young bloods in line
Straighten them out respectfully

I've been noticing a general degradation in the tone of some of the posts lately as well. Well at least now I know it's not just my own perception. We just need to take the high road, so to speak, and not sink to the lower levels. In my experience, if you allow yourself to get into it with someone who's an immature d*ck, you just end up encouraging him even more, because that's what he came looking for to begin with -- a childish trash-talking spat. It's hard to resist the temptation sometimes though!

Many years ago, I joined my350, and when I noticed how negative everyone was, I made the naive mistake of posting a thread asking why everyone gets bent out of shape so easily. Everyone got bent out of shape and piled on with all these negative responses. Go figure.

First of all, we will do our best to keep these forums being spammed by trolls or flamers. Most of you guys are frequent member of many other forums and I'm sure you guys are familiar with the "report post"

button. It's almost impossible for us to check every thread on the forums but we do check EVERY single reported post and take appropriate action. We encourage people to report a post instead of replying with a offensive reply. All it does is ignites the fire even more. If you see a post by someone that's out of line, report

the post! DO NOT attack him/her back with an offensive post because if you do so, now you've violated the FORUM RULES

Quote:

*Harassment of other members will not be tolerated.(No matter how bad they deserve it). If you don't like their post, IGNORE IT! (added by onethreefive)

Also, I should mention, this is a public forum. All you need, to sign up here, is an email address and a computer. I can't stop there trolls or immature posters from signing up but I sure can revoke their privilege once they post something immature or offensive. Unless you guys report these posts, I have no way of knowing who these people are!
