[ghettogeddy]

i think its time to do a mod change just on the inactive ones like the ones that come on once a month


times change and so do people schedules change they loose interest in the car and community we really need some people here that are on every day and can clean stuff up faster im not nom mysekf but i would accept if offered

but we really need some fresh mods

[A18A]

Agreed

[Demon1024]

[A18A]

[ghettogeddy]

[2ndGenGuy]

I'm here. :)

[ghettogeddy]

I'm here. :)

i know but there are a few that arent and they need to be replaced
not saying they cant be members but give up your mod position if you dont have time to do it

[carotman]

I agree there are some inactive mods in here. I'll discuss this with the other admins

I'm around... been busy, but I check to make sure nobody's goatse'ing the audio forum.

Yes there are some old days mod types that are pretty dormant , but then once in a while they will come about.
Problem with that is they couldn't possibly be owning up to their titles.

I was glad to see those like Markmdzhatch come back with entheusiasm about their cars and do things to create knowledgebase.

[carotman]

I'm here almost every day, 3 times a day.

i agree and thats why the mods like sabz and such are fine they keep there section clear but some of the others need to be reassign to the north pole lol

[Oldblueaccord]

agreed.

Ha, I'm on here 3 times/day too, but I too agree that we could probably stand to have things mixed up a bit.

Honestly i think this forum is just fine the way it is. Theres no excessive anything really, slight bit of postwhoring in every section but its not too bad. We have a great car community, plenty of information to be read through, but no abuse to be spoken of at all. We do have some inactive mods, but what forum doesnt?

ha ha yes and some of the most experienced old days members check in a lot more than one would think but just don't feel inclined to post. I somewhat agree with 2drSE-i in that this is a fairly well mannered forum compared to others, and things "operate" fine. However, it would be great to "mix it up" a bit. That could add even more interesting charactor and promote some intelectual growth to the forum. There are some certain long time members around that give a sh*t about the board and would be good candidates for such a move.
I personally enjoy those that work on stickys like Carotman, A20A1, Markmdzhatch, Bob, Alex, John, man I hate to leave anybody out....

[2drSE-i]

hit the nail on the head with that one. Im on here a ton just skulking around like a petophile at summer camp. I just rarely post because usually there isn't much info to add that isnt all over the place on this forum. Now when its something new, im all over it :-)

Well I should not really add anything to this but: customs street race thread got trolled up pretty good. Now it was posted in the wrong forum and has been modded and fixed but its been said. The HHO thread turned into the usually epeen name calling. Again thread should hav been in the R+D section to start with. could have helped keep the west coast no it alls from tramping it up now the guy won't post back. The thread sticky about running spark plugs because of the new gas totally totally unfounded could cause potential engine damage running the wrong temp spark plug. I pretty much stay out of the turbo threads mostly trash from people who blew up there motors 3 and 4 times over or bought some stuff from sean and got scammed. EFI section could use a sticky about the Main relay being the number one reason for a no start condition on these cars. Duddec wrote up several things on motor rebuilding that have gotten buried. The search apparently does not work that well so yelling search to every new guy that comes along does not help the problem I am afraid. 3-4 habitual people "selling" something and then pulling the old "aliens " got me and my wallet and your money too but send me more money and ill send your stuff out when UPS starts doing pickups in prision.

I have said too much.

a couple weeks ago i pm 87accordlxi about being a Administrator or a Moderator and this was the reply i got from him.

Generally, we look at where help is needed and then locate & examine potential candidates internally. Thanks
I am here ever amost ever day.

[ghettogeddy]

could have helped keep the west coast no it alls from tramping it up
thats the kind of stuff that starts arguments and something like that could quickly turn this thread ugly


im not saying you did it on purpose but its that exact attitude is what makes threads go bad


i never walk into a bar and talk shit to the first local thats my moto and i treat it the same on the net
as far as the street race thread
he asked a question and i answered with my research i googled

and he said are you sure you have the right accord and i said yes the non intercooled one may not have been those exact words but he got all pissed about it and started whining


but non of that is why i posted this thread while the custom thread was going i decided to look at the mods for the section one was vinnie whos last post was dec of 2007 and steave dx how was last on on the 3rd not saying these guys arent doing there job but its nice to see the mods active on the fourm makes it fill a bit safer knowing you can contact someone and get a reply back with a few hours and not wait and wait

hell i am here everyday lol off and on all day from the time i wake up till i fall asleep lol

here and about 4 or 5 other forums

[Oldblueaccord]

your not the one who used the f word but your language, like mine says one thing... I don't approve. Hes doing what hes doing and giving us results and its getting shit on. Plain and simple. Funny when I do it im the bad guy.

I would like things to be monitered a little more closely is all esp. when it comes to new members. The old guys where used to each other where as the new guys can take it the wrong way.

Im here everyday from morning to night...I love my accord and this site..


I dont really say alot of bad words lol...But Custom really got on my nerves the kid dont listen and just plan NOB...yea he trying and he doing his thing but noooooooo im sorry he dont respect none of the members so i gave him the HMT talking Treatmeant lol...

Rendon

[2oodoor]

wow this thread matured a bit overnight

Old Blue Accord, Ghetto, I missed the Custom thread I guess.. have to go back to see that. I hinted to him about carolinahondas.com there is where he needs to be they have a piedmont dragway section, thug section etc.
more trash talked around there, its unbelievable.
Anyway Old Blue the HHO thread got trampled on by the midwest guy, he just has tourettes of the typing and goes to insult members personally instead of their "theory" for lack of a better word.. heh
You are also absolutley correct there should have been stickys made in EFI a long time ago, and there is great info buried. The search function works fine for me, I use advanced search and think up combinations of words searching thread title only. Of couse as with any forum the title has to have a topic word in it so "hey guess what" ie would never show up.
There needs to be more initiative to construct the knowledgebase in each tech section and we just have not had a mod that is consistant. Really only two I know of in 3gen that have put up the effort honestly. Carb tech and B20 swap.

(i finally spelled it right, sorry I just caught that) you are actually one I had in mind that would be a good admin. This should be in Foundation IMO

[markmdz89hatch]

I can't say too much because I too am guilty of having been absent for some long stints over the years. But I do agree that we could make an attempt to wake up a few of the more dormant mods.

That said, this board is like no other in that there are a bunch of members on here that have been around since back in the EZ board days, and many (regardless of their time on this board) that take a personal interest in sharing what they've learned with newer members, and in keeping the peace.

I had been gone for a while, although I checked in every now-and-then, I was not as active as I would have liked to be. ...but despite the fact that a number of newer members have emerged, and some of the veterans retired, the board remains virtually unchanged.

At the end of the day, the mods and admins always benefit from the help of other members by way of a PM to tip off a mod of some potentially ugly threads, or problem members, etc. Also, each and every post made on the entire forum has the ability to be reported to admins. A number of members do this, and it's proven extremely helpful, so I would ask and encourage members to continue to use this.

Regardless of the number of mods, or their 'activity' on the board, we cannot see every thread and read every post, so extra, voluntary, ears and eyes are always a welcomed help.

[2drSE-i]

i try to stay away from the custom thread, i guess i missed all the shit talking etc. I just knew that i would get irritated reading it because of all the "Your not running management?"comments. There is a bit of shit talking all over the board that should be resolved.
Edited to make my response more user friendly

yeah I just looked at those, I am stunned. I refuse to make comment at this point in time as well

We have a policy for removing and demoting staff members who have been inactive for a certain period of time. I've used it before, and I'll use it again. There are no hard feelings with it. I understand people move on, but I also know that people come back - like in Mark's case.

This board has matured A LOT over the past couple years, and quite frankly, not as much babysitting has been necessary. So sure, Marc and I have not made the major changes to staff that we used to make. Look, we don't want to breathe down anybody's necks. I'll admit in years past we've had to crack down hard, and I never liked it. It's hard to get members to respect you when you're being overbearing, and it's hard to even get all of the staff on the same page.

My point is, we do periodically examine the need for staff changes, and maybe it's not a bad idea to do that again. And if you see a problem on the board that needs a moderator's attention, tell us. Report the post - it goes right to the Admin section and we all see it. Use the Contact Us form at the top - the email is pushed right to my phone. Don't abuse that though.

and theres a few of us that would enjoy to take a position

[Demon1024]

how many do we have? i can only think of 2

ok i see 4 i recognize now

Hey, Accordtheory, and myself, as well as a couple of others, aren't afraid to call bullshit on something that is obviously that. I personally am trying to be nicer to you online guys, but a lot of the time my sarcasm is taken as something else. I think everyone around here is willing to help those that don't know better, and guide them in the right direction, moderators or not.

Remember, this is a community of adults, not a dictatorship, or for that matter, a kindergarten. Let's keep it like that.

yeah I never minded yours guyhatesmycar, but the other one starts right up with "you dumb ass shit eating dog fuck, you idiot if you think you can turbo a carbed car" Is just uncalled for, although I do respect his efforts to write up huge novel posts with his knowledge or even his opinion on the topic. Takes all kinds I guess.

Takes all kinds I guess.I would blow these SU's with a belt supercharger, it's just a matter of money, the knowledge to do it has been around since the 70's. one of these small belt driven units would fit easy where the Ac compressor is. carbed cars have been boosted longer then FI cars have been around. and the timing control is availabe with the proper msd box. the boost control boxes have a line that goes right to the unit to measure manifold pressure. anyway back on topic.

Well, the HHO thread for one. I'll leave that argument there.
