Friendly Reminder # 2....

admin

Well it seems last night...someones wheels fell off someones wagon.It happens..I understand that.BUT.....We mods (And I have stated this many times) try to run the place like Referees in a Hockey game.We step in when needed to stop pushing and shoving..We step in when needed to straighten things out...We step in when needed to do whatever it is we have to do as things start unraveling...We don't go looking for arguments and disagreements..They get plopped in our laps.We don't get ANY compensation for doing all this AT ALL but do it because someone has to.And from what I have seen at many other sites?This one is far and away the BEST in my estimation because of the way we try to handle things.Some may not agree how we do things..Some love the way we do things.Many have been given minor penalties and come back out of the penalty box and all is good.Some come out of the box and just want to start all over again.Yeah I get it.But in the end?ANY ABUSE OF THE REFEREES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.PERIOD.We don't like handing out game misconducts but if it comes to it..Say Bye Bye.Because WE WILL do it and not even think twice about it.And just like in hockey..If you deserve it you will get it no matter WHO you are....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:Pretty well sums it up.To further Steves comments- ANY direct attacks on a persons religion, beliefs, race, and so on (and everybody knows EXACTLY what I mean) will NOT be tolerated in any shape or form on this website. Yes, we have the religious and political threads, and have them for a reason. Anyone who ventures there knows the rules and knows they proceed at their own cyber risk so to speak. When a member (especially one that's intoxicated) begins randomly attacking or singling out members due to religious or other differences, it does nothing but create unwanted and unnecessary conflict and frankly is just ignorant and short sighted. Physical or other threats will be viewed the same.Do it here and you're liable to get your ticket punched. Permenantly as far as bans go.It simply will NOT be tolerated. Period.Also, threats regarding hacking this site (or any site for that matter) with malware or viruses intended to disrupt or cause the site to crash will be grounds for an IMMEDIATE and permenant ban and IP address blocked. We won't EVEN play around regarding this either.Like Steve made mention, this site has come a long ways over the last several years. He and the rest of the moderator staff (as well as some of our past moderators) have worked very, very hard to guide and oversee the process. We're far from perfect and we all have our foibles. If we make a mistake, it's likely one of the other mods or respected site members will bring it to our attention and we will do the right thing. I personally have a large stake in this site, and have put an untold amount of my personal time and efforts into the community here and will continue to do so because I love this site and think very highly of many of its members.What happened last night hasn't happened in awhile. Quite awhile actually. Hopefully it will be a long time (preferably never) before it happens again.Thanks to everyone who makes this site as great as it is.SteveExpert Garage Hack....https://www.facebook.com/steven.webber.948
Reply:You guys do a great job.  Good riddance I say, to anyone who comes here with a personal agenda and basically trolls the site looking to pick a fight.  Remember, there is also the Ignore/block option if you have a problem with a member's posts or comments.  We are all supposed to be adults here... Thus alcohol, drugs or not, you are still responsible for your comments and actions and use of intoxicants does not give anyone a free pass to violate the site rules. Period!

Reply:What if they change there IP and come back? Is there any way to detect if and when they come back with different sn and IP? It seems like theres a phony or two out there now IMO.The mods do a good job and giving enough rope to let him hang himself was the best way to handle it IMO.

Reply:I know theres ways to get around the IP thing but for obvious reasons I wont mention. One thing Ive noticed is peoples styles of writing. I think that gives them away. Ive always try to wright the way I talk. Im not impressed with big words unless theres no other way to convey. One exception is elephantsh!t. Yep, thats the biggest word I know Thanks to the mods for being so forgiving
