Hello fellow Sklyine and import car enthusiats.
Of late it has been brought o my attention that the WA forum has taken a turn for the worse. I will now quote two of the 20+ PM's I've received complaining about the slide our forums have taken.
and
These came from two different forum members who have been here quite awhile now and they have both contibuted greatly to it.
I've also had complaints about over moderating, but the moderating has only increased recently due threads going off-topic, slanging matches starting (which has been identified as one of the reasons are put off), whoring to name the main issues. Please keep the whoring to the whore thread. The last week has been very good in this respect. As for slanging match we had our worst incident of this during the last week. Below is a copy of the forum rules which you all accepted when you signed up. If we can stick as close to possible to these the majority of people using the forum will be happy and there should very little moderating to be done.
Thankyou for you time.
Troy
