Man thats crazy..... I agree with Camo though, what exactly were you expecting? You should have at least know there were going to be discussions about engine builders, and discussions about off topic things that would bring about a little argument or controvesry here and there. Your gonna get that with ANY site, even if it is your own, and its YOUR CALL to say it can stay or go.... Putting your foot down may piss people off, but this is your site and if you lose a member because they were getting out of line or out of hand, then thats fine, because you probably kept a member or two on your site, for making that decision. As i mentioned before, you should have been careful about "ruling with an iron first" As mentioned in another thread, posts were locked pretty quick or deleted as soon as you read them. It seemed like you deleted a certain post because you had different views or opinions on that topic. Thats when i was initially worried on how this site would go right then. I was not mad or offended, just suprised, but this is your site and your rules go. It didnt keep me from coming to this site...... Dont cop out on the site after you made it.... Stick with it, keep your pimp hand strong, but lighten up on things. Forums are a place for people to voice what they are thinking or feeling.... if you make them keep their mouths shut all the time, and be so strict as to what they say, then they are going to stop coming. Simple as that. As you sent me in a PM one time, theres nothing wrong with a little argument here and there or heated discussions. Seemed like there wasnt much allowance for any heated discussions or arguments. We are grown adults here, although soem of us may not always act like it.....(myself included) but you cant treat us like kids and slap us on the hand everytime you disagree with what we feel, or if your afraid something will turn into something bad.
Let certain issues escalate and get REALLY HEATED, that will draw in more members to the site and let them see what else is here at this site... Then, if it gets to be too much, then you can warm everyone to calm it down...... if they dont, lock the thread... Dont just close it becaause it COULD get bad.....
BTW, we are not kids
