Trigger Man!
Got people on here telling people to kill themselves and people are worried about fake accounts. This place is the motheerfugking Twilight Zone.
So y'all are just mad that someone might have a fake account? I said y'all need to make a reasonable list.
Yet here you are.Got people on here telling people to kill themselves and people are worried about fake accounts. This place is the motheerfugking Twilight Zone.
What happened last night? No running buddy? Woke up without all the b s on here from you?And there you are, sure to follow.
Can we get a moderator that actually gets on?
For moving threads to the correct sections, muting people, deleting spam, etc.
@Administrator whats up with making some of us more active users mods?
Very well said! I'm sure in the past the people clamoring for Mod's wanted to be mods themselves. I'm not sure anyone here that has been asking for more mod's, are asking for this or expects it but the multiple accounts, fake upvoting and other toxic **** needs to go. None of the previous mods appear to be active unless Slo_Ride knows someone who he can directly reach out to? I've been a Mod before, not a fun job and people always second guessing your decisions. I'm just the new guy, but I also have a ridiculous amount of forum experience from other places. Just calling it like I see it and in this case, this place needs 1 or 2 active mods. They're basically forum Janitors and as long as you find someone who doesn't get punch drunk with power the forum will be much better for it.
1. Threads started in incorrect sections
2. Audio threads derailed regularly by off topic drama
3. Verified and Unverified multiple accounts (Need IP for verification)
4. Vote manipulation and trolling from duplicate accounts (reinforcing drama and derailing more threads)
5. Drama, drama, drama and more drama
6. Lack of Newbie post requirements or post template directions
7. FAQ or updated FAQ for some sections. IE: Brand recommendations in HU/Amp/Speaker/Sub sections maybe based on Low/Mid/High budgets, how to properly integrate with factory head units, (good better best options) and maybe see if Jeff or others would be willing to go over true SQ build basics. (Put all your money in the front stage, DSP benefits, Coax vs Comp etc)
8. Ohms law, wiring basics, how to calculate Amperage load based on wattage, batteries vs HO Alts, there are a number of recurring threads that could be covered in just a few extra stickies. Most are lurkers and TBH the search function on this site is crap. I know how to thread search this site using Google but many do not.
8. Live mods who can step in when someone is getting out of line and provide warnings and vacations where necessary.
9. Someone to manage certain threads/people when things get toxic or threads are so far derailed they just need to be locked.
I'm probably missing stuff, others please feel free to add to it. Does that list meet your requirements @Slo_Ride?
Lets face it. There are no active mods. This place is being basically run by us.
Im on almost every day. However, Im one of the last active mods. Its impossible for me to

There have been asks for recommendations. Unfortunately most of the trolls on this forum cant handle it.
You have to have pretty thick skin to be a forum mod and not give 2 shits about what the users think of the actions that you take. There was a big issue back in the day where a mod that begged for mod, ended up banning a bunch of people, scamming someone, and then banned the people that shed light on his shenanigans.
Do you realize what your asking out of someone that volunteers their time? This isnt a full time job nor do we get paid. I have handed out plenty of vacations to the people that deserve it. If you want stuff stickied, moved, etc. reporting the post with a valid description is helpful.
Weird.
It's really not hard to figure out what needs to be addressed and what doesn't. The community moderates itself, you sound like the type of people who want the federal government to restrict a tweet.
Don't post CP and porn, and don't make legitimate threats against someones life. Can't believe I even have to say this.

Oh he hath spoken!! You used to be more active on this forum than now. Perhaps that will sound more appropriate.
Got out of the car audio game 2 vehicles ago and started a Masters degree. Not much free time to spare until school is done.
