Having some time to get on the forum and read for the last few days has been a disappointment to say the least . The way people have treated other is nauseating, and the amount of respect for one another is just indigestible.
I read the General discussion section, and notice topics which are started with a topic of trucks, but end is a topic which has nothing to do with the topic at hand; going from trucks to posting garbled junk about whatever is on the persons mind! If you want to post about your toe nails and other non-related SRT talk, then do it in a post-hoe like thread, not in a valid thread which has meaning and information. What kind of example does that show to new members who are 'searching' for real information to later find out about a persons scratching there arm or something....
I also see people so strong in there beliefs that there opinion has no verbal respect for the other person who's beliefs differ. This is causing huge problems, posts to be deleted, and thread to be closed. The blame isn't to the moderator or administrator, its due to the person who called the other person (an example) a "f*ing retard" and other ridiculous / slandering words which would have not been said had they have been talking to real life. Now it is understandable that view WILL differ between people, but that still does not justify the insulting signatures, avatars, comments, and images.
This forum was created for a place to discuss the truck, yet have other topic of discussions. IF you want to discuss a topic which is not SRT related, then it should be posted in the OFF TOPIC section. Once posted in the off topic section, posts NEED to remain on topic and INSULTS should not be thrown at one another. On that note, if a topic is NWS then dont open it if you are offended by NWS material. On the flip side, dont place NWS material in a non-NWS thread! Now, if someone throws an jab at another member, the post will be removed/edited if it has NO VALID INFORMATION and is just there opinion (which will be up to admin / mods discretion).
We want everyone to have fun and talk about the Ram OR other stuff, but we don't want new members being run off the VTCOA, members being directly insulted, or posts going off topic.
If your posts happens to be edit or deleted, feel free to PM us, or get ahold of us, as we would enjoy to explain the reasoning behind it; if it was our mistake (misunderstanding), we would love to correct OUR actions, we are humans too . If you have an opinion on a matter feel free to post it, but just take into consideration the other 4000 people that are reading it and if it might directly offend another.
Bottom line is everyone need to have fun, but don't take it personally if we try to keep the forum organized; I think everyone would enjoy a place which grows with knowledge and less trash.
Thanks
