NEW IA RULES ! GRR RAWR CAPITALS!

[BobbyFresco]

so are you guys ALWAYS going to take the side of the bashee? cause this jellybean chick just begs to get bashed all the time. do your research if you don't believe me.

I <3 you, no homo.:boobies:

[David88vert]

Ill be honest that will be a case by case basis. If he disagrees with the kid for streetracing, so be it. If he hounds him around IA and posts in every thread the kid is in, then yeah, thats different.

thats all i can really say

Also, how can a mod ban himself? We all know that there are certain people that you love to bash on in the KF. Are you telling us that you are going to be kinder and gentler in there? Say it ain't so!

In reality, I think that it is going to be a lot harder to fairly lay down these new bashing rules. While I support them, I think that the mods are going to have a hard time applying bans to everyone equally. More than likely, they will let long standing members, and site sponsors get away with some blatant bashing (and yes, I remember site sponsors bashing on members over the years), while cracking down on those less well liked/funded. After all, who is going to ban a site sponsor? And if they won't ban a site sponsor for bashing, I suppose technically anyone could pay to be a site sponsor and bash on anyone at anytime. Has that potential situation been discussed among the site owner/mods?

Bashing in the KF is allowed

yeah its not going to be easy , i agree. If people want to pay $900-1000 a year to bash people, so be it lol.

Sponsors will be told the same as reg members. they will not be PROTECTED that much, of course they get perks others dont get, because they pay, it works like that in real life too, but no one has said they are getting a right to do whatever they want either.

and all our sponsors are pretty cordial at the moment

[BobbyFresco]

Waaiitt a minute. have we ever met?

lulz, this is borderline creepy hahaha.

Yea, several times....

The first time was when we all went to NOPI.
I guess like 3 years ago...Joe still had the teg...and he was dating Kim...Mike's wife's cousin or something like that....and I drove Mike's XB down to the show.

Met you a few times since then as well...last time was at the last sofakingfresh meet.

[Vteckidd]

sigh, stop putting words in our mouth

No one has said that either. But come on do we have to fucking criticize every member on this board cause their car isnt JDM?

"hey that is UGLY" is different than "you fucking ricer , get that piece of shit out of here"

That was the last time that I had the Impala out there, right?

[BobbyFresco]

Yea, I'm pretty sure it was....
Oh shit...that was the year that Mike borrowed the 22's from the shop and put them on the XB.

well it was a fairly genuine question. it seems that most of this thread has been about supporting those hit with bashing. i'll just leave it at that you guys know what you're doing and each case will need a different set of judgements.

[quickdodge®]

Explain that if you would Slowdodge.

Pretty simple, really. You're a nobody on here. So, like I said, there is no "we" here. Later, QD.

i guess what it really comes down to is the bandwagon mentality. It becomes "cool" to flame someone. So everyone starts doing it to be "cool" to hate the "noob" or the "ricer" etc .

It really is very high school-ish

No one is saying you cant criticize or argue, just do it with some maturity, thats all. Its really rather simple, i mean ive answered every question in here the best that i can, im sure you guys can read between the lines.

hey if someone is a complete douch bag on here, flame them, just do it in the WL , not the rest of the board where sponsors lurk, post, and this will keep the threads from becoming utter shit by the bandwagon people that want to add 45 pages of useless talk to a thread.

make sense?

[Mr. Clean]

i suppose. you don't want every thread looking like all the threads in the goon squad section lol. goddamn whoreslounge in every thread lol.

well i am normally pretty tactful with anything i say on here so i guess i don't really have much to worry about. i guess i'll let this thread rest... probably. unless i am inspired again lol.

[QUOTE=jellybean]

you are correct... but would it kill you to be nice???...:-) I am sure that on some level you could have some good advice for people... or even have something really worth saying... but treating people that way will not gain you or your words any respect...

and you probably don't care... and if you don't... then why should i or anyone else...:-)

Quit posting. You're not good at it. You're a liar and you're an idiot.

Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

I do agree with the comment that JITB added about the RLD. If the site is to be cleaned up for the eyes of potential sponsors, should forums promoting porn AND street racing be on here? Like Joseph said, we had cuss words censored out but with a couple of clicks we could watch people having sex and vocalizing the very cuss words we couldn't type. Later, QD.

what the fucc happened in here? butt-hurt city

One more question. What is the policy if a person has a particular legitimate issue with a sponsor that has not been resolved? For example: Customer takes car to sponsor's shop for work. Sponsor removes engine, then stops. Customer waits 2 years asking for his car to be finished, then finally picks up the unfinished car, minus the parts that the owner of the shop has sold off. Customer is out many thousands of dollars (his $7K down in cash), an engine, and a lot of brand new parts - with nothing to show for it. Customer comes on here and shares his story. Will the customer who got screwed over be banned?
Don't say that it doesn't happen. I know of this exact situation happening with a shop in town. I actually have documented multiple major issues with multiple shops over the years, and I just don't tend to bash, but if someone did post up their story, would that be considered bashing a site sponsor? Will legitmate information be withheld in the event that it conflicts with a site sponsor? I've seen many people over the years post up info similar to this, so this is a legitimate question.

[BKgen®]

watch your mouth, princess.

[Mr. Clean]

what so you don't fuck it?

legitimate concerns are allowed, so are stories of relevance.

We tend to let those threads play out, and try to keep it between the "sponsor" and the "customer". We weed out bandwagon posts or people that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

hence why we have the buyer/seller forum

i think we could password protect the RLD and restrict it to people that "qualify" if that makes sense.

In all honestly most sponsors wont care, i mean its labled RLD and says what it is, just like WHORESlounge is alot of stuff potential sponsors dont want to see.

I dont think the site is changing FOR the SPONSORS and to let them RUN it so it appeases THEM, more , i think its ASKING the MEMBERS to be COGNIZANT of the sponsors and what the site is moving towards.

[quickdodge®]

BUYER/SELLER, from my understanding, is NOT for sponsors. It's for the members.

Since that is a possible issue in the future, if the person posted it in the sponsor's personal forum, I would think the rules would be enforced; however, based upon the statements regarding the policy early, the WL is anything-goes. So basically, if someone just bashed a sponsor in WL (no reason, just bashing), that would be ok? Doesn't make sense to me. Did I understand incorrectly?

I tend to like to bring up issues before they happen, so that everyone understands the rules. Again, I am not against the new rules, as they don't really affect how I post, but I like to know the whole policy when there is a potential shift in policy.

I see what you are saying.

I think it's safe to say that if someone bashes a sponsor for no relevant reason we will delete it even in the wl that's parts of the perks of paying. I mean it's not feasible for us to let the members degrade sponsors for the sake of humor.

Now you have a legitimate problem take it to the buyer seller forum (I think we are going to make it anything can go in there) and voice your concerns.
