RE: Whats happening to this forum
Public forums allow people to express their opinions, whether it be negative or positive, as long as it's within the forum rules.Take your own advice and if you see something you don't want to read, don't read it.
I consider myself a forum veteran. Not on this forum but I have been a very active member of numerous other forums. I use to moderate 5 forums at one time. 3 Ford Lightning forums, a Nitrous discussion forum and an iPhone forum. I'm still a mod on 1 of the truck forums, the nitrous forum and a Global Moderator on the iPhone forum. With that being said, I have plenty of experience dealing with crafty people trying to advertise their products on peoples forums, for personal and financial gain, without paying any vendor fees to the site owners. These people are warned and then banned if they repeat the offense. If they continue to advertise their product or their site, it's considered SPAMMING and they are permanently banned. This is the only site I have been a member of where the forum staff doesn't do anything about blatant SPAMMING.
I do enjoy the content and discussions here. But if you're asking me not to call people out on their SPAMMING, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do that.
