Oh no worries, I'm sure they'll have no problem with what you say.
I didnt see it until now , its gone now
.
Everyone knows we have the ability to check IP address's dont they
I hate to say it but you all got it wrong a previous thread directed towards McRat on a call out. That post did not generate from N.C. like Kat said.
Hello off topic. Lol.
On a good note, I'm headed back to Vegas in the early am from my parents with my mustang on the trailer that's been sitting in my parents shop for over a year lol
Oh yea I also got some monster diesel samples to test when I get home.
Have a good night DD :hello:
So when my truck breaks down and I ask for help, a vendor who is "approved" to vendor status bashes me and/or my truck because I dont buy his parts or tuning and that is acceptable?
Nothing personal trent we have talked before and this will probibly be ignored because im the "trouble maker", but you guys have a huge double standard. You folks can pick on me, newly, josh, AJ, and brian but as soon as someone has a funny avatar of casper or a TTS Powerloader lol, there is a huge issue? So everyone gets treated fairly as long as they are in the click?

Your probably right , we are not perfect but we don't purposely single any one out nor do we have a "click" in some secret room , but your right if some one rubs us the wrong way or is causing "trouble" we are probably going to pay more attention to what they are up to. If you search most of the mods posts 99% of them are helpful and geared to to the greater good , 1% not so much , I think that is a pretty decent average for Human Beings . Hell do you know how many phone calls i field a day helping out fellow gear heads ? several daily , and usually several PM's a day too and i try to answer every one of them .
On edit on the vendor comment : yes it erks people to know they were passed on a job or product for a cheap imitation ( sometimes ) or buy some on who knows squat and has no business selling parts , and now that it didnt work out so well the vendor that the purchaser passed on is now expected to clean up the mess and help out when they warned about the very thing happening and there is no money in it ?

1. He has an ATS converter, and he thinks it's a piece of junk.
2. This site is owned by McRat, so yes, it would be disrespectful to bash the owner's vehicle. That's like going to a someone's house and calling it a slum to their face.
You need to look at the bigger picture if you want to have a place for all enthusiasts to exchange information. There are a small number of posters at all sites who try to turn every thread into a fight thread. UDP? Newly? is on that list. If allowed extra privileges like you are suggesting, any board becomes nothing but a fight board. Fck that. He tried to do it to this thread. The thread was very good, then Newly posted under a troll ID, now the thread is locked. Why? He tried to start a fight. Not only with another racer at the event, but with an admin. Why? Who wants all threads to be fights? You're saying that's desirable, and I'm telling it doesn't work. That's based on moderating hotrod sites for over 10 years.
If you want a board where hotrodders fight in every thread, start a board. Call it DieselFlame or something. I don't think it will work, but that's just my opinion. Keep in mind, Newly fired the first shot in this thread. Nobody said anything bad about him. He fired the first shot at me, and I let it pass for awhile. Then he dialed it up, aimed at another racer, and then I stepped in. And that's the way he has been for years on multiple boards. Yes, other people start fights too. Nobody is perfect, nor is it expected. But when you are asked by those who have to make the decision on the limits of flame-content to tone it down, and you refuse, a decision must be made. I am not willing to chase away a bunch of helpful members just to keep 1 hostile member. When the first calls came out to can Newly, I vetoed them, even though the majority of the moderators pointed out that he seldom if ever helps anyone, and he is a fight starter. Eventually I realized they were right, and I was wrong. Not sure how many good members stopped posting here because of him, but even one would be too many.
Our current policy is now this: If a member starts fights constantly, they lose their posting priviledges. Now Newly was not actually banned. He was asked to apologize and he would not. If he told you otherwise, he's a liar. It has not cost Newly a dime to advertise here. If he says otherwise, he's a liar.
Somebody told me you put a billboard signature advertising for Newly. That is not what signatures are for, and it's a slap in the face of all those vendors, paying or not, who don't start fights in every thread, and are helpful to others.
You do that again, you lose your signature. Act like an adult. I should not have to babysit you or Newly, nor should anyone.
