they deleted the thread.
the mods were joking with each other and changing each others avatar to homosexual things, a new member was like WTF? then the mods kept gong and I think the new member got offended and brian, nemo, newly backed the guy up. The the mods told the new guy it was all a joke. newly, nemo and brian kept going off on the mods (they werent let in on the secret i guess) the mods got tired of it and banned them all for 2 months. I think they were kinda baited, but the mods say other wise. I called all the mods out on the decision, only to find out that ALL the mods wanted them banned...
He is not supposed to be a mod anymore. I don't care what the mods drive as long as they are knowledgeable and not ass lickers, and Tank knows nothin and just happens to be an ass licker.
So I wonder if I will get the boot for always havein fun with Newly and Nemo? Hell I haven't been to that site in a long time. Time to go have fun:joker:
I'm with you guys, TANK is a f'n douche. I know he got banned for life from powerstroke.org but not why. Only thing he's good for is stirring the pot. I didn't see the thread that got those three banned, but I'm sure it wasn't necessary.
Brian, Justin, and Newly did help out quite a few people there, but they were real good at running their mouths, and ganging up on people. I think they pissed off a few too many of the mods. FWIW yeah a couple of the mods aren't the best IMO, but most of them do pretty good.
As for the retarted tech badges, anyone can request one! And if the "parent" comany the autoguide.com or whatever people give the OK, you get a tech badge. I know quite a bit more than some of the "tech specialists" do, and I feel lost with some of the things I read about on here. And heck I know more than some of them and don't even own a dmax (YET!!!). A couple of the "tech specialists" are in their teens still, and
mommy and daddy bought their trucks for them.
The more time I spend at DF the more I realize it's just the place for newbies to come ask if 285's will fit on their truck, and if an Edge is the best tuner for their truck. I don't mind answering their dumb and overly repeated questions cuz I don't want them to ruin a perfectly good truck.
But in the end I think it was their attitudes that got them banned. The mods all swear up and down that they've given them a bunch of warnings over the last three months, and that they blatantly disregarded them.
I don't know any of you guys, or the mods there personally, so I don't want to take sides. But I agree that they seemed awfully eager to ban em.
I hear ya. As sad as it sounds, I feel like I've learned everything I can from that site. Thats why I came over here. Most of the EFI guru's are here, and I want to learn about EFI.
DF really took a dive when Tank showed up. All that douche does is look for an excuse to put up a pic of his 6.slow. Then he goes fishing for comments on it after he does. He's getting better after they slapped him on the wrists cuz the "power" went to his head. But I saw at least two or three times where he openly threatened everyone there with being banned if they didn't cool off. And that was just in the thread you started JP.
In reality you don't have to be the most technically knowledgeable person to be a mod, and none of the mods there built their own 12 second trucks. They just have to be good at moderating. I don't know that any of them claim to be know it all's.
I will go out on a limb and defent Hook'em Horns though. He's a good guy and really does know his stuff. I know he's got over 2 million OTR miles under his belt. He also is one of the most knowledgeable people on the site with regards to towing, and DOT issues. He also has done a couple very good how-to write up's and things of that nature. I just think him and Ben are on two different pages with their argument. Hook'em is talking about Light duty/medium duty according to DOT, and Ben is talking about LD/HD according to GM. And their both right from their respective view points.
Haha Peter Griffin:rofl:
An the ban hammer falls again over there...
Newly, Hondarider552, and nemo all got the boot.
