Problems In The "cefiros And Other Rb Powered Sedans" Area.

[BenA31]

Mod's there has been an increase unrelated threads been started in the "Cefiros and other RB powered sedans" section. Many of which should of been in general maintence or forced induction/ NA areas etc.

Only way many of the regulars in the ceffy and 4 door section think we can stop this is either getting some more active mods in the section or possible changing the name of the section to "Cefiros and other 4 door related discussion" or "Cefiros and Jap Taxi talk" etc. seems too many are getting confused with the RB powered sedans part of the title (and when viewed on the forum index its towards the top of the page, hence probally the spontanous posting of alot of newbies in the section)

example are (just ones that i quickly noted on the first page....):

Can one of the web admins possibly help us in changing the title of the section, helping us with some more active mods or some other option?

Agree 100% with the above points.

yikes... i'm the one who's supposed to be responsible for the cef section... I'll have a look at it guys... just haven't been active in that section for a while. Should be... I've been drivin the cef more than my R32 recently

[funkymonkey]

actually... since both narkeh and someonestolecc both stepped down from moderating the section, there's only me to look after it.

Can I have some volunteers for 2 new mods to look after the section? (Obviously you have to be a reg in the Jap Taxi section to apply). Also I'll probably change the section name to "Cefiros Australia" and point the domain name www.cefirosaustralia.com to it soon.

sounds good funkymonkey. Though changing name to section name to "Cefiro's Australia" might be disregarding other 4 doors don't u think, or will it be assumed that they post in the same section?

sweet never knew cefirosaustralia.com was a registered domain, will have to get some stickers made up for that.

well when I made the section I assumed Cefiros and other RB Powered Sedan's might be clear enough to stop non 4 door owners from posting there.

just guesstimating... 80% of the guys in there own ceffies and 15% own 4 door R32's. the rest are a scattering of Laurels and Cimas. (No Gloria or cedric owners yet methinks).

Maybe renaming it to "Cefiro's and other Taxi's" as suggested or something like that might help.

dangerous_daveo has been made the new mod for this section. Also the section and its description have been altered.

Each section can have up to 3 moderators, so I will add another mod in due time.

Captain Comma says it should be Taxis and not have an apostrophe

[funkymonkey]

The Cefiros and other RB powered sedans section has been great..But as a R33 4 door owner and i think i speak for other Skyline sedan people 32s and 34s we are growing in numbers. A seperate Skyline sedan section or subforum woulb be fantastic. Would this be posible. as you are thinking of changing the sections around....

[funkymonkey]

Its hard to justify a seperate section for just 4 door variants of skylines... I mean a vast majority of the car is the same as a coupe. Stageas and Cefiros are completely different models, so seperate sections for them are somewhat justified.

That said, the reason I originally named the section Cefiro and RB Powered Sedans was so that 4 door Skyline owners had somewhere to post about bodykits that were unique to them and about this newfangled thing called rear doors and windows.

I guess with the new naming of the section we just have to hope that 4 door skyline owners identify themselves as owners of a Taxi
