Ryan50hrl, i have a question, and please dont close this when you read it, why can we get a tad bit emotional about stuff in this forum without a moderator stepping in? I understand you guys stopping insults and stuff like that but its like we are walking on eggshells with our opinions or it will get a little heated and "oooo we have to shut this thread so people can express there opinion becuase we abuse our moderating power". Like i said, shutting down name calling is cool, but what are we without our strong opinions. And even if i reminded somebody this was a ford truck forum i was just trying to make your life easier becuase i know you have quite a load.

Respectfully,

Bigbluebeast

 

exactly which post are you refering to? In the last month i may have closed one or two posts and deleted one or two. There is a clear set of guidlines listed at the top of this forum and as long as everyone follows them, i have no problem with the expression of opinions. There are a few things that will not be allowed in the pig pen, drug use forums, sexual references, vulgarity, or disregard for the forum rules. I do not close posts for any other reasons and i implore you to find a post in which i have.

 

its the one about the debate if ford owns cummins or not

 

well after sorting through the five pages of posts in that thread, over two pages were useless dribble that didn't belong there. Now after the incident yesterday i had to deal with useless posting i'm really not in any mood to deal with it again, less than 24 hours later. I guess it all comes down to one simple thing, follow the rules or the post will be closed. I spend close to two hours a day sorting through all the posts and dealing with those who can not follow those rules, now if i really didn't want to listen to self expression or whatever it is you feel i'm infringing upon by abusing my moderating powers i would just close every post that doesn't follow the rules. Besides, the pig pen isn't the place for discusion of cummins or psd diesel motors anyhow.
