Or! Maybe somebody realized you guys were being just as silly for locking it and protecting the kids from themselves?


We are adults you know?
Adults? Most here don't act like it.

Agreed.

We're talking about the mods, right?

I dont know how anyone can put a bunch of bikers together in the same room and expect them all to play nice.

Fighting is a part of message boards, all message boards. Its what keeps people coming back.

This board was created because of the ridiculous way VS runs things, yet, aside from the ads, it seems like you guys want to go down the same road with your modding techniques.

I have a ton of respect for some of the mods, and some of the members. I also think a lot on both sides arent worth the dirt they'll be buried in someday. When someone acts like an idiot, ill call them on it.

And an 'Infraction'? How childish is that? If I was a mod, i'd be ashamed to send one for fear of looking like an overgrown crybaby...

Then again, this is the int3rw3bz, and I dont really take being insulted to heart.

That's your opinion of course.

You may not like the point of view being expressed, but that doesn't make it wrong.

None of the mods except for rider were involved in this discussion. But instantly you all swoop in and tell us we're retards.

Wanna talk about childish.. Perfect example from the lot of you..

Arguments are not the proper use of a forum. Forums should be just "Hi how are you today, did you have a good time at the trackday last weekend? Awesome, glad you had a good time! Hey did you see the article about the new BMW 1000RR? Pretty nice I must say."

Don't read more into it than there really is.

Don't make more of it than it is, and we won't read into it.

I know you guys are just trying to help.
But, forbidding it from going on is just laziness.

If all mods do is lock threads, then why not just have a feature that locks a thread when its reported so many times?


Then its not up to the whim of one person who is pissed off today..

I agree with ya actually... But I can also see where once a thread has just turned into a buncha grown men tossing sbout gradeschool taunts, it's degraded to a point where the main point of the thread is lost. Locking it isn't about "protecting" you guys, it's about getting people (including a mod, in this case) to STFU.
