Let's chill a little

NIZMOZ · 02-19-2009, 02:21 PM

Just remember guys, we don't have kids running this site. AK370Z will take care of the trouble makers and he won't let things happen that the mods over at my350z let everyone get away with and they even harass members themselves which is pretty sad.

So far this site has been way more mature than the other site.

These forums allow people from all ages, religions, political affiliations, geographical areas and so on to come together, and as such it's inevitable that there will be some friction and disagreements from time to time. This is normal IMO, but shouldn't be allowed to degrade in a schoolyard atmosphere.

Unless you guys report these posts, I have no way of knowing who these people are!

Agreed... This should be the SOP for every web board.

Ignore list in conjunction works as well..

RCZ · 02-19-2009, 10:16 PM

I am so tempted to alert AK of his post telling us about the alert button....

semtex · 02-20-2009, 08:11 AM

^ I should hit the alert button right now to alert AK that you're thinking of messing with him by hitting the alert button on his post about the alert button!

BanningZ · 02-20-2009, 08:40 AM

I just used the alert button for the first time on some porn spam posted in the "why did you choose your forum name" thread. Props to me!

If they didnt feel they had anything to prove they wouldnt say oh hai im 16 i have a z omg im awesome. (like that one kid trying to post up being the youngest 370 owner)

Hmm - I wonder if you'd have made the same criticism of someone starting a thread to see if he/she was the OLDEST 370z owner ...and if you did, I wonder if it would be in the same disparaging tone. The person who started that thread is rightly excited about getting his new car - just as most people here are. He seems sensible and pleasant - I wish everyone on here was (the vast majority ARE, btw). People like him are to be made to feel welcomed, not insulted and driven away.

(Just catching up with this thread, btw)

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.

You don't have to be young to be a poseur and you definitely don't have to be young to post aggressively and behave like a d**khead. I know this, because I'm over 50 and I've done it myself, on more than one occasion. I also think it's not quite in the spirit of this thread to talk about 'e-kicking' someone in the face. I think this thread was started in order to suggest that we don't post comments like that. I reckon you should keep your 'e-kicking in the face' for other forums.

Do I detect a bit of 'kiddism' going on here. Kiddists out, is what I say.

Finally - I like this place too - there's a good mix of information, discussion and humour. It's a good community and it shouldn't be policed too hard. So I suppose my motto would be..."Welcome everybody, but don't tolerate the nobs, whatever their age."

Being an a$$hole to someone is not the same as being ignorant and argue about crap that someone has no clue about.
Now as far as "e-kicking" someone in the face was something that i just came up with when i was typing my response. Don't take it to the heart because it was half joke and thought would be funny to use that phrase.

If you don't have any sense of humor then i would suggest not to post aggressively like u just did and just swallow whatever your mouth has to spit.

Thanks.

BTW in my previews post i did not offend anyone in any way.
