Title: "Political", and other Non-related truck posts
Post by: Captkaos on October 11, 2010, 08:23:31 PM: There has been a lot of new "political" post on the board recently and as in the past it generally just causes animosity between members. At this time I am requesting everyone to NOT post things of this nature unless it directly relates to our trucks, hobbie or community in general.

Please keep this in mind when posting. It may be annoying at first but I think it will help the forum stay more focused and united. If you see posts being removed, this is why.

Post by: Lucky Jeff on October 14, 2010, 12:04:38 AM: You're right, some people like to have forums where they can post about anything in a "BS" section. Obviously this isn't the site for that. I'm not new to Forums, I can tell right away how a site is run.. ;) Often times I feel it's easier to understand a persons point of view on mods when I know what type of person they are. Somewhat difficult to figure that out from only a technical standpoint.

A few will get hurt because someone doesnt agree with them when they think they should and then you have a bunch of whine bags in the middle of a cause fest.No thanks. Best thing is to do exactly what Capt's refering to, keep from getting to that point.

No matter how you try to allow positive posting on these emotional charged issues, it seems that eventually someone gets upset. It's best to not allow it at all, so the staff members don't have to decide what post stays, and which one crosses the line.
