I would have to second Gary and then some.
Tune you asked for input...here it is...Constructively and I am not concerned with if it ticks somebody off. This stuff does cause a decline in visits and new members.
I was hangin around in here for a while but it got way out of control IMO.
I have found it less than desirable to even post anymore---hijacking, Name calling, Arguing, favoritism, ppl have difficulty even posting an opinion without crap coming down on them, etc, etc... and it goes on. Some of this is worse than others.
Tune I had mentioned this sort of thing way back when I first joined.
The TOS you had then was contradicting to what was actually going on in the threads.
One topic was Avatars that I had mentioned. I also had offered my help with experience in Modding.
This is the biggest issue you have that I see. It is Moderating.
Moderators who can be impartial and SET THE EXAMPLE at all times and that means at all times.
This has, was and still does lack with everyone and no one is innocent and perfect. There is a lot of childish bickering that goes on and there are Moderators who join in on it.
What takes me with it is how old some of the Moderators are and how they make themselves look when this is done. It reflects this site---they represent you.
I would like to suggest to determine what you want in a moderator and stick to it--they screw up too much then they should have the privilege of Modding removed. Modding is a Key element to running this site. I suggest persons of Semi-Mature age.
Have regular meetings with Mods on issues with the sites. Use the Mods for the info you need. Not you hunting and pecking and getting Pm's and E-mails.
Sort of like a chain of command just to have some sort of order.
If a person needs to be banned then Mods need to converse and make a united decision to make it fair for the person being banned and not one sided by a Moderator.
I also think that moderators need to remove posts that are out of order or if someone requests certain replied then it should be upheld. If a person has an opinion on an item for sale it should be removed due to it could impair that person from selling that item.
I really believe that if you carefully choose your Moderators and take it a bit more seriously this site will pick up. Start over with Moderators. It will take some time but upgrading a site is not going to help, it only makes it look good---it all lies with the persons who help you run this site.
On the other note. Yeah Racing and bashing IMO should be split up.
The idea of fixing up the 4sale, WTB-WTT is a good idea--it organizes the crapola and makes it simple to go and look for what you want.
Tune I hope this helps. If you have a comment for me please PM it to me.
I myself would like to see the improvemnts that you have in mind.Brian
