IA Members!!! Please step into my office!
What's your biggest problem with IA?
Lets say you stopped coming here for a while, and you decided to drop in and read this... what was your reason for leaving? This isn't directed towards anyone in particular or to prove a point, but I think if we can get some opinions on the site, we can fix problems that THE PEOPLE have with the site.

No, seriously for me, after so many years of being on IA from day 1 +'modding, Needed a break. Plus, I really stopped modding cars. ( maybe in future i will mod something ) .
Focusing more with my fam and job. Staying busy busy...
Mods deleting posts and over moderating the classifieds section. The mods feel the need to enforce morals in addition to rules it seems. Sometimes i get a post deleted before i can even refresh my screen, mods really need to take a step back.
i havent been on here long at all and ive tried to do some things and it says that im not allowed to view etc. im still learning but i was wondering is this because ive done somthing wrong or what? and also have you guys ever thought of making a cell phone app?
After the first initial change the whole forum was changed. Things were in different places...
Before that mods were starting to get tight, over editing and deleting posts.
I did like the blog section on how it use to be. BTW my blog section got deleted < Pretty much what ended it.
If anyone has a question on why something got deleted and cant get a response out of anyone, feel free to private message me and Ill find out why. Getting your shit deleted and not knowing why can be pretty shitty. Trust me, I was banned multiple times, and talked a lot of shit. But im still here and I still enjoy coming here now that the server has long been fixed.
Either way, anyone is welcome to hit me up anytime for whatever. No homo.
So far your gonna be "That Guy" in this thread ?Originally Posted by Sinfix_15
Start posting more, people will give you reputation points if you arent a troll. Stuff gets unlocked after you've proven yourself a normal member not just on here to sell shit.
this!!
it hasnt happened to me in a while, but i know it still happens. there was a point that I stopped coming to the site because of this exact thing happening..
Note, that a lot of the old IA moderation crew has been removed and new people have been assigned. Some of us have been around here a long time and some not so long. If you feel like you have followed the rules and had a thread/post deleted contact one of us.
Lack of tits.
Echo, that was horrible.
Honestly, I have to agree with sinfix and the others. I stopped posting a long time ago after joining because it seemed over enforced.
I hope that doesn't offend the current mods because I have noticed an improvement, and that's why I'm starting to post regularly now.
The other thing that really turned me off of IA was all the bitchy members that act like IA is a members only club. But I guess all you can do is ignore those people until they grow the fuck up

Seems like a quite a few people feel more like crying about stuff than recognizing when stuff has changed. If any of would ever check out the rules change, you'd see the changes that have been made. Seems like it's just easier to complain than to see/read if your complaints are being heard. Later, QD.

haha Ive been banned on this forum so many times, pissed off a few moderators, had threads/posts deleted on a regular basis, but so the fuck what? Im still here, and now im a mod. Being on here is a privilege, its free, and nobody forces you to sign up or post. I post here because its the only decent Georgia based automotive community that has been established for a long time. You're 20 and only been on here for a year, maybe want to rethink what you consider a members only club and who needs to grow up?

I was on here long before a year agoYou're 20 and only been on here for a year, maybe want to rethink what you consider a members only club and who needs to grow up?I used to post regularly under a different screen name many years ago. The reason I stopped posting was the usual IA drama that got repetitive and old. Mods being over excessive. Maybe you took what I said wrong? Or maybe I said it wrong.
I came back because the new mods were more lax and everyone was chill. Point blank.

no need to get touchy man.. nobody is "crying".. OP asked what everyone's biggest problem with IA is currently, and people responded.. its not like we are randomly complaining about anything or anybody specifically
Keyword: currently. A lot of the complaints seem to be in regards to the old IA. And Ive already said if someone did something wrong to you and you can point it out feel free to do so in PM.
dont ask if you dont want answers..... was this a fishing for compliments thread???So far your gonna be "That Guy" in this thread ?
"ZOMG everything is fantastic, ur doin such a great job!"
Touchy? It's a website, homey. And it is crying when the same people keep on and on and on and on and on about the same thing. And about the same thing that has been addressed, but no one has bothered to check it and see. Later, QD.

i apologize.. OP did not say currently..
but if we are just to send any complaints to you, then what is the point of this thread?
If i complain to Mcdonalds about my order, they try to fix it for me. When you complain here, a mod tells you that you didnt read the menu right.
Newsflash, this isnt soviet russia, check the 1st amendment.
You don't have to send them just to him. Send it to any one of us.
Not really sure the correlation so I can't respond.
I guess you're right. I'm not really sure what you mean. Later, QD.

This is not wal-mart where the customer is always right. We made very reasonable rule adjustments if these still don't soot you then you'll always complain.
If you are having threads deleted then that sounds like a good reason to PM a Mod and ask why. Unless you know well why and are just crying about it.
i feel like this thread is quickly turning into a prime example of what ImportAtlanta has turned into.......... mods against everybody else....
We are here to help you so don't make it appear any other way.
People complain about the rules and you tell them they didnt read the rules correctly. There's no misunderstanding here. There's you doing something people do not agree with and them complaining about it. Its not a failure to read or understand the rules. In every post you continue to tell people they're not reading the rules. There's no confusion about the rules.
Its getting better...... but it still feels like pulling teeth to get the mods to loosen up.
pretty much.
im not sayin i have a problem with all the mods..
i just dont think a thread should be made asking for problems if the mods are just going to defend anything anybody says..
Simon has bitchtits
Only thing ive seen that in every thread like this asking for feedback. It turns into a "Its the Mods fault" things are the way they are or done.
That's why I don't make, or really endorse, these type threads. All it does is rile folks and turn folks on each other.
I never said no one is reading them correctly. I'm stating that it seems like they aren't reading them at all. We're trying to appease everyone, but we know that will never happen. No one is ever going to be completely happy with the site. That's fact.
Feel free to shoot me a PM about which mods you feel need to "loosen up," dude. Even if it's me. Later, QD.

biggest complaint on this forum is threads being deleted. Something only the mods can do. I cant delete your thread can i? who else's fault can it be?
That's not the biggest complaint, but what threads are you talking about? Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
its simple.....Post within the rules and it wont be deleted. If it does and you feel upset PM a mod to ask why. Threads will be deleted thats gonna happen if something is not done correct. Dont let it deter you though PM a mod and try again.
so from the reactions im seeing a
..."sorry bro, cant help you"...
to the situation at hand
next problem?
they grey is kinda boring, maybe that can be fixed.
So you and sinfix assume you have a problem with Mods then if the complaint is threads being deleted ?
