closing threads?

[chicagokenji]

Really, I would like it better if you guys have a problem to come and see me. I may be a pig headed old fart. But I'll listen to what you have to say. well maybe

hey Bubba...if I have a problem that I think the track needs to address you and the other employees will know about it directly from me. I think you already know that about me and the boys.

Now if I want to talk/discuss with other customers about the track, not bash it, I might do it here.

kengi why is it such an issue with you that a thread got closed?? just wondering

I read the last post that the moderator made and it looked to me like he just willy-nilly shut a thread down.

If a thread is to be closed I'd like to see something like this:

"Mr. John Doe, just broke the rules with his reply. This thread is now closed. Breaking of rule #3 will not be tolerated."

...or something like that. Meaning clearly state what happened and why a thread get's closed. Otherwise, people like me, who don't follow every single post on this website's forum all the time might construe this place as being too cliquish, or elitist.

So what do you think traxxas?

First id like to say how ridiculous its is that bruce has compared himself to the founding fathers of this great nation... Dude your your biggest fan. One day id like to vist the planet your from, im sure its a place where everyone is always right and the other guy is always wrong...

Second i like the way you use quotes from songs... But i must disagree with your eminem quote, i think you had it backwards... This place would be better without you.


Bruce your an accompished buisnessmen (inventor,cage fighter, ect...) Why dont you build your own track and show all of us that someone like your self thats so in-touch with what the racer needs/wants how its done???
That way you dont have to suffer at such a poorly built and run facility. Im sure there are plenty of place along the "L" that are perfect for a niro offroad track!

Kenji -
1st... Last night i was tired and very aggravated with our back and forth... Im am sorrty if we did not see eye too eye.

.... With that said, i feel that a mod doesnt have to explain why he has closed a thread... You should already know the rules of the forum... And if you have been following a thread and and see things are becoming counter productive i think you should expect that thread to be closed... Another thread can always be opened and we can try again to discuss the topic without the "muck".

I would like to settle this... and i want to be civil... So please let me know what you think of that...

[chicagokenji]

thanks rocco...no apology necessary.

I like a lively discussion, and I want to see this forum do well. As well as also wanting any and all chicago area tracks to do well.

[rocco79]

Kenji- I too enjoy a lively debate...


Kenji you have PM.....

Sorry but....

I went back and reread Bruce's statement----I do not think that is what was said---I see nothing about him comparing himself.

See it is that alone is what gets things heated and then the man has everyone attacking him.
His statement may have gone over our heads.
There was nothing bad about it either that I can see.
Please go back and read his post and possibly be more open to it.

Just your comment makes it more loaded now.

I think emenem said it well. "this place would be so empty without me". I apologize if I make a few of you think and question the status norm. And while you might not always appreciate my delivery, my truth cannot be denied...

There are problems here. Things that must be addressed. Muckracker? Ok, it's a title I'll gladly accept. The founding fathers of this country were once thought of in the same light. And while these issues are certainly not of that caliber I say this, "Guess what boys, you're mama wasn't right, even if you don't have something nice to say you should say it!"

[rocco79]

I do bio... read it again. He said they were once too concidered muckrackers he accepts that title...


Its amazing to me that all his comment " are over our heads" ... Maybe yours but not mine i see it for what its is...

[Biodragen]

He did not compare himeslf---you took it out of context

[snakebite46]

This thread is about closing threads. I believe it was mentioned earlier about threads getting off topic ? Please, let's keep this on-topic for once. There are some valid points being made.

[rocco79]

Snake you are right... Im sorry .

[snakebite46]

No need to aplogize... I can just see this becoming a bash thread and should be avoided.

[rocco79]

Bio you have pm

well cemeb did say that it was getting out of hand with the bashing......he did it to stop the people who were adding to the fire....meaning everyone in there that posted including me.

by closing it down he did bruce and all of us a favor......

also to me it doesnt seem like its a big deal to close a thread.......if you wanted to post in their and wanted to say somethin to somebody then do it through PM. this is an R/C forum, not a bitch and complain all you want forum.

thats what i think

[Biodragen]

Whatever
It is real dissapointing that a mod cannot set the proper example.
you bashed him----You should have got things back on track here---right!?

He did set the tone with his apology and you blew right past it.
You have it out for him---atleast it looks that way to me.

Thank you snake for noticing this---KUDOs to you and continue to set the example.

[Biodragen]

Got it Rocco

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

Hmmm this is directed at me correct??? we will continue this in pm...

[HAGASAN]

Oh Yeah, I can see this thread getting ugly real quick.

[rocco79]

It wont.. The pm's might but not the thread...

[Ponch]

Lets just close this thread too!!!! LoL...

[cemeb4dk]

Man everyone in this hobby just seems to like Drama. I swear I never thought there would be this much drama in a hobby, boy was I wrong. It just seems that some want to relive a 60-70's moments and march to the White HOuse and enforce the freedom of RC speach and make more out of everything.....

We have to re read this, interprete this, moderate this, say it this way, no say it this way. People telling the masses that everyone mis read something, quoteing M&M. People electing themselves to be the Martyr for the good of RC, peoples feathers getting ruffled about this or that, and most wher enot even involved in the subject.

There just seems to be people that like to stir the pot, wheather they think its fun, or they are trying to convince someone of there beliefs.

Lets just all remember that this is SUPPOSE to be FUN. A place where we can make friends and justify the thousands we spend on this silly hobby. Jeez people its toy cars racing for bowling trophies....

[chicagokenji]

I never try to justify what I spend on this sport/hobby.

[rocco79]

well said...
