I am not a regular anymore because of the thread locking, i brought a thread over here because of add's on RJ, when it got going Tom locked it,And i will be dang if there isn't another one on here, Are you going to lock it also :?: :?: He has locked several, I don't like his name calling, He tries to wiggle out and make it where he is right, He will threaten with THAT button and want's all of us to know just what power he has, sending nasty PM's, I have sat here and read his post on YB any of you do a search on there, He is a very low person, name calling i think he is bring that attitude over here, My opinion he need's replacing with someone that don't take sides, He seem's to lock threads to protect scammers, Most of this started at with ''Nvmyvettes'' he seemed he didn't like the ribbing everyone was giving him :!: :!: JMO Mark Arnold

This thread is no concern of your street racing junk.So why don't you make like a tree and leave,before one of these guys hands you your dumb ass.

How about we 'moderate' ourselves ?
The only BIG issues would be eliminating scammers and spammers.

Scooterz 05-14-2010 09:59 AM

Not a bad idea...

Here's the thing: WE are the people that make this place... not the mods. There is a complete lack of professionalism & leadership. To me, is more important to defend my friends & make a stand against the mods behavior at the risk of getting kicked off, locked, or whatever them deem necessary. Grow up Tom/PJ... if you want to act like a Nazi, go work at the DMV!!

So far, I see no attempt from the mods to make this right. No explanation about PM's, no apology, etc... just ignoring. If this were a "scam thread" that was hot, you would bet they would be here chiming in. I am lead to believe they (Mods) either simply do not care, are too arrogant to admit any responsibility, or they know they have made a mistake & are hiding like cowards. " I have been too busy" at this point is not going to cut it. I am really questioning their ethics & ability to manage the basics at this point.

Nevertheless- we are all part of a cool brotherhood that is far stronger than any silly Mod intervention. I have been working on my car more lately; not here as much... seeing what is going to happen. Kinda like Scorp, taking a break to do what we live to do... gearheadedness. Scoot

topsportsman1 05-14-2010 01:31 PM

Ok here goes for those that have complaints.

1. As far as the "nasty pm's,thats bullchit.I am always nice to you guys,but when I have to "babysit" grown men and continue to pm asking Please don't post smileys and crap,like threats in the scammer section,just like whats in the thread for paul622 now,which I haven't even bothered to say anything to anyone here,ITS not worth the bother to say nothing,Like now,I don't even know why I am responding to this now.

But here goes,if the lies continue here about the pm's I have sent,here to certain individuals about me being nasty,which is bullchit.I AM GOING TO DISABLE THE PM'S JUST LIKE THEY USED TO BE HERE IN THE BEGINNING.How about that?Then we can keep everything out in the open.

As far as me,yeah I get many complaints here every day.But I get things addressed,unlike some of you that have nothing to do but come here and POST WHORE every thread here.

I don't post much,and I don't ask much of you guys here,not even sure why I am responding,I don't owe any of you NOTHING.

I have already posted in another thread why threads got locked,I am not here to keep repeating myself.You'll have to go search it out and find for yourselfs if you missed it while you've been typing.

So some of you keep typing and not reading the diclaimer you have to check of agreeing to post here at RJ,I'll post it again for some of you that type more then you read.

Before posting please check that you agree to the following terms and conditions. WARNING: ALTHOUGH WE ENCOURAGE THE OPEN EXCHANGE OF THOUGHTS AND IDEAS IN OUR FORUMS, ANY STATEMENTS POSTED MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF USE OF THIS WEBSITE. TO THIS END, NO POSTINGS MAY MAKE ANY STATEMENTS, REFERENCES OR IMPLICATIONS ABOUT ANY PERSON OR PRODUCT THAT ARE UNLAWFUL, THREATENING, LIBELOUS, DEFAMATORY, OBSCENE, PORNOGRAPHIC OR WOULD OTHERWISE VIOLATE ANY LAW

Some of you might want to go back to the paul622 thread and renig on your comments.
Like i have been trying to get threw to some of you,if you can't help a thread along the way,WITHOUT TTT, BUMP, Posting smileys,OR making THREATS to people,its best not to post!

If you want the forum like it was,grow up,If you can't there is a RED X in the upper right hand corner,"click it" NO ONE is keeping you here,and there are many other forums out there.

NO ONE has been BANNED here ever since I been here,all are welcome.

The banning issue was when RJ had the server issue,there are still some problems,but they are being addressed.Everyone was banned here in the forum,for maybe less than an hour,I did it and it was an IP issue,I contacted RJ and had Josh get the forum back up and running.I take full responcability of that mix up,nothing was intentional.infact it even banned myself (suicidebomb)Earl can verify this as he messaged me when it happened while I was in cantact with RJ.Excuse me I am human and make mistakes,unlike some of you that are all perfect and come here bashing me.I can handle it if you wish to continue.

Now if we can't act like grown men here and stop acting childish,I will remove the PM's and make adjustments as I see fit,there is no use in daily fighting in the forum as that only tends to run people off.IT has happen before when RJ had no moderation what so ever.

So if you don't like it here,move on,others are signing up every day.We are suppose to be here to have fun,hang out meet new friends and help people if we can.If thats too much,then please move along,this will be my last post on this,so read it and understand it.

I am the one running this place having to answer for the forum,not any of you!And I don't care if anyone likes me or not.

I have many things going on in my life,Like working on my stuff to have to come here every hour to see if ole hell has broken loose.

Time to move on to the NEXT phase of RJ forum.It only takes a certain few to RUIN it for everyone.So the balls in your court,if you chose to live this forum in the past,I"LL make it just like it was in the past.No leadership,No PM's,No one to cry to.And last but not least,No one here to talk to,just like before I got the forum up and running the last time,because we had a bunch of old guys here that wouldn't let things die,I am not going to run a "CLICK" here its free to all,no special invites,etc. You get the point.

Now don't keep carrying on,lets move on here.If not,you know where the door is.I can and will make adjustments here as so needed.

Tom

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isn't that sort of like:
"If you don't play the way I want, I'm gonna take my ball and go home?"

Why don't you challenge the validity of the pm's by having them posted for all to see, then we can determine as a whole what the "message" in them was meant to be? Not trying to stir up too much trouble, but ONE man calling ALL the shots doesn't work well. Remind you of anyone?

topsportsman1 05-14-2010 02:45 PM

Rudy

The PM's don't exist.He is full of crap.He is putting words in my mouth.You get it?If I did PM him I asked him politely,Not in the fashon he has made all you guys believe.

RUDY

If you READ it on the internet.......IT must be true.

Just like the guy said "HE was singled out being banned,he is full of crap because EVERYONE here including me was banned.And that was for just a FEW minutes

Geezus some guys blow things way out of proportion around here

Them PM's could be altered to say anything Rudy,you read it on the internet

Better yet....take a snap shot of said pm.then post it up,

You prove it,post up a snap shot of the PM I'd like to see this.

And another thing everyone was banned here for a few minutes,I could care less if you posted all your private buddys left here,you guys are starting to look foolish here,I been getting PM's from a few people here thats telling me different,and I know different.

Scooterz 05-14-2010 03:51 PM

I am done arguing back & forth about all of this... I just deleted my last post (too negative) I think we are accomplishing nothing here. Worse, people getting mad does not help... lets try to fix all of this & get back to gear head stuff & snuffing the bad guys. We are on the same team (even if we all don't see eye to eye). Scoot

Tom, I dont have any pm's from anybody in my box any earlier than 3/31/10 , I clear them off usualy when the page gets full. I do have pm's I sent harbone66 in his ansewer to what had everyone pissed off and harbone already posted it earlier in this thread . the pm's I refered to from you were from sometime last year and were in reguards to thread bumping in a scammer thread. after all that is happening in this thread I would like to see this one end., nothing productive is going to come of this.

Take a snap shot of that PM Mark,I want to see it,come on post it up

He wants to bash me he is welcome to I can handle it,not sure if he can tho.

Tod74 05-14-2010 09:48 PM

Not taking sides but I do know that TOM has Always said no bumping scammer threads with smilies and no socializing/joking in that section. He sent me a warning via PM back when I first started posting in 2007. It wasn't nasty just something along the lines of

"People that lose money to scammers will not appreciate wise cracks. Keep that stuff in the other sections" not an exact quote but something like that.

Again, not taking sides in this argument because I don't know all the facts... just pointing out that it isn't a new rule...and I admit I am as guilty as anyone about breaking it also.

Harbone 05-15-2010 06:33 AM

I would just like to see things go back to the way they were, chasing the bad guys, talking cars, swappin stories and just BSing. it seems that all that has been blurred a little and we just need to regain focus...

Now I am not taking sides because I am neutral in this whole ordeal BUT, Tom has PM'd me about posting nonsense in the scammer section and he did ask politely for me to stop. So in return I stopped posting nonsense and only posted when I could put in any info to help the people. I was in the wrong for posting nonsense and so it was no big deal after Tom asked me to stop to stop doing it.

Harbone 05-15-2010 07:54 PM

I would say the damage is probably done, you can tell a huge difference in the amount of posts and people on here. In business if you are losing customers, you try and see what caused that problem and fix it. I quess things will never be the same, thats just a shame...

TheYellaBrick 05-15-2010 09:37 PM

Well, we now know where all the 'BUS' drivers are !! :D :D :D :D :D

dragonmaster093 05-16-2010 05:28 AM

ive received (in the past) (didnt save) a pm from tom about bumping that want real polite. and as far as smilelys he never sent me chit about them. next as far as the caractor bashing on mark that is way out of line. i personally know mark his wife and some of his kin and this is a man that put me and my wife and 2 kids up for 2 weeks while i found a house. called on friends for a favor to put a stranger to work off his word. has hauled my car to my job (little shop i work at thanks to mark) has given me parts for my car. mark is an honest hard working man im more then proud to call a friend. alot of things have gone down hill here the recent past and it digusts me that scammers and theives are in charge. and tom has no problem with it. his locking of threads is just an incouragement to the bad guys they now they can talk chit one of us react thread gets locked and they in not as many words get a green light to continue to rip people off and it seem to me that it all got started with nvmyvetts maybe its because him and tom are buddies or kin. but in this rant if im booted so be it any of you guys who i classify as friends can contact me on face book if you want SAMUEL E.

Scorpion1110 05-16-2010 06:28 AM

A couple things
 
I have been randomly following this thread and a couple things jump out:

1) Tom is a Moderator. He has been asked to give a ton of time and has agreed to- and I am guessing that job is as thankless as managing people but with no pay. You don't have to like him but you certainly must RESPECT him.

2) Name calling whether it be from a reader or mod is silly. And it makes the name caller look uneducated and pretty immature. If you can't say what you need to say without calling someone a name you really are kinda PATHETIC. I am directing this at Forum regulars and Mods- not the run and gun guys who are only here for a few minutes.

3) Regarding PMs- indeed they can be removed HOWEVER most Forums want PM use so that threads don't get bumped all over the place. Thats just going to make things full chaos. Thats a move that makes a point but doesnt make sense.

4) Locking threads is something a Mod should do to settle it down when it gets crazy out of hand. However if someone makes a point, sticks to the facts, and wants to put a smiley face on their signature - so what?

Note: Boys remember one thing- sometimes there is more going on then you know or than RJ can share. A thread could get locked due to legal issues (and there is one that I still wonder if that happened). RJ is not however required to tell the Forum Users everything.

5) Tom and Mark- Take a deep breathe and STOP. You guys don't have to like each other but you should co-exist on this platform because you both provide a benefit to the users and to RJ.

I took a break from regular posting for a while to take it easy and work on my car. I was also a little tired of the laziness of some of the scammer forum posters who wanted the regulars to do everything for them. However I guess its time to get my a$$ back on there regularly because you boys just want to fight and bicker :)

The bad guys are loving you right now.

Tom- open offer. You need a Mod and someone to take the load off of you and B? I will gladly help and I will treat everyone fairly and try and keep things pretty clean.

Now would everyone stop the damn whining and complaining and get ever back to business? I am going to head over to the scammer forum and see what the he!! is going on.

Later,

I could not have said this better myself. I was thinking this but couldnt put it into words.

Also I will volunteer my services to moderate this place if the mods need a break also. I know it may sound selfish of me to say this due to being the newest rider on the bus but I think I would be able to be on here more than others due to not having a life and being out in Iraq. :P

Scooterz 05-17-2010 02:32 PM

Yep, this all may sound silly. RJ should not have this kind of drama, it would be nice to stop, etc....

I will stand up for Mark. He is a good guy. I do not think he is a liar or needs to "grow up". I am not going to abandon this issue without first saying that the name calling & personal attacks on Mark are wrong. I tried to let this whole thing go... stay out of it. Then I see Tom still talking about Mark like we are all in a GRADE SCHOOL PLAY GROUND!!! Hey Tom, how about YOU GROW UP??? Come on, lets all put this thing down & treat each other with respect.

Has anyone ever looked up the definition of "Moderator???" Check it out & tell me if it is how Tom is behaving. Give me a break...

mopar1968 05-17-2010 05:42 PM

The only post i will make about all of this is this, What's done is done, can't change that, And yes the name calling does need to stop.I have alway's tried to help people out and alway's will. Well that's all i have to say on this :!: :!: JMO Mark
