Also a question I guess. Why do you guys delete threads and posts that has the truth in them? It may just be me but I thought the forums were here to help eachother out and not just keep the vendors happy. I also wonder why some vendors are supported. :shrug: Just some food for thought.

I would like to know this as well. It seems as if for some reason truth and adult conversation gets edited or deleted.

Read the link in my sig.

It has nothing to do with what you say and everything to do with how you say it.

Take it how you want but this site has always been run this way.
Noobs just can't get used to it.
We have simple rules.
Follow them.

After a vendor CONTINUALLY PROVES themselves unscrupulous, is brought to light on subpar service and hack jobs, then I guess it's admins word against the NUMEROUS REPUTABLE members and other vendors that point out such behavior to discern whether to delete or edit?

Wow...............kinda like "I'm right and the WHOLE WORLD is wrong" mentality if you ask me. It USED to be said "It's the internet", but unfortunately this mentality has trickled over into the general population......sad...:kaboom:

Suggestion: Reprimand the "bad ones" but don't toss the baby out with the bath water.......sheesh.

Carry on....:beer:

So what your saying is we can't speak the truth? Oh that's right because you protect your paying vendors even if they are shady and on limited time as a business. Just keep deleting threads and watch your members become pissed and leave. You are not the only mustang forum on the webs so quit acting like you are. I knew there was a reason I never signed up over here.

No one NEVER said you can't speak the truth.
It is not our word against anyones.
Personally I could not care less about some of it.
My job is to enforce the rules as they are written.

READ.
It isn't WHAT you say but HOW you say it.
That also goes for how you address the staff.

Once it turns from factual talk to name calling, bashing and arguing it is done.

And since you obviously didn't read the whole link go back and read it again.

Logged in just to support Terry. You have a stand up guy who does everything possible for his customers and BBR who is shady. The moderators choose to support the shady BBR. BBR has done the bait and switch on me before. Quoted a price via pm for one brand of valve springs and then tried to sell me known defective valve springs over the phone.

A new club has been started in the Mustang world. It's the "Banned from svtp club" This site has become nothing but a running advertisement for protected vendors.

Just thought I'd let you know how poorly the admin decisions are being received throughout the Mustang community. I would predict a massive fall off in members. The 16 year old fan boys with no money will still show up though.

This is nothing new, just new members who can't follow simple rules.

Not a SINGLE Admin here supported BBR in any way.
We just simply enforced rules as written and as they have been for years.

I'm about to enforce more.

just a question here...

Then why did the second beefcake vs. BBR thread get deleted? There wasnt a bunch of bashing in there, just an explaination of how BBR accepted the callout and plain didnt show again. Why not just merge the two threads? And that thread was locked and DID get edited. I never posted in it, but let the people see how BBR really operates.

Technically only the first two guys are newbs, the rest have early join dates......If you take these join dates and look at the post per day you can see there is some reason they dont post often here....Most commenting have high post counts on other forums and are just trying to shed light on why there is not as much traffic here.....

If I must explain,

2 of the last 3 post were bashing.
Could I have deleted just those?
Yes.
Could I have merged the 2?
Yes

At the time I did the easiest thing for ME to do where I could go back later, edit, restore, merge, or leave it in never never land.

I did what I felt at the time for me as I was also dealing with other items.

As far as letting people see how they operate,
The original is still there and the 19 post in the 2nd thread said nothing different.

Stampede in the 2nd thread beefcake stated facts and let the whole truth be known. It was deleted. That post alone should have been merged into the original thread. It being deleted is hiding the truth.

And when I go through it later I may do just that.

You people think that the few mods we have here do this full time?
Sometimes things get put on hold for a little while.

I currently have 9 tabs open with issues and I'm at work.

Not at all man. I know this isn't your full time job. I can respect the fact you are doing your best to keep up, but why delete the thread. Just close it. You can still do your job and people can see the truth.

Because it was easier for him to do what he did at the time.(deleting it) I understand your frustration man, but also understand his.

By leaving the thread there and not deleting, he still leaves the original posts there until the thread is cleaned up. I'm not saying he's ON your side, but he is not on their side either. He is just trying to do his job the most efficient way possible; sometimes that involves making threads disappear for a little bit while they're cleaned up.
