Can't we all just get along?

....Which brings me to my final point... you haven't gained the respect of anyone here so your opinion doesn't mean much

How do you get respect points? Maybe it should be below the user name and post count. Then, people would know who they can trust advice from.

I joined the site to learn as much as I can and to enjoy the time I'm on here. The way it's been lately, it's getting to where it's not as enjoyable. I don't know much about certain things involved with these motors and when I do know more, I'll give my input. But until then, I'll just keep reading and learning because it seems safer, since I've been a member for less than six months and I have less than 100 post.

I'll tell you you're a nutswinger to your face. That's not aimed at you, but I'll let someone know if they fit the bill.

same here. for the most part everything has been ok, but i'm not very familiar with building for performance and i've felt some heat for questions or topics that i thought were legitimate.
overall still a good experience though

^^^Thats bc ppl cry when someone doesn't search before they post.. alot of times it would keep them from posting bc there question would be answered. but I dont think its a very big deal. I do more reading and learning on these sites than posting also. Some members ego's are through the roof though makes me feel like im surrounded by highschoolers sometimes (all forums have a few) and all forums also have the select few guys who know so much and chime in from time to time to answer tough questions, then the know-it-all's. so on... like pl4yboy said "you haven't gained the respect of anyone here so your opinion doesn't mean much" << just sounds cocky and lame

To everyone who enjoys a friendly site, hang in there, it's going to get that way and stay that way.
Enjoy the site.

Who is this directed towards and who gave you the authority to grant who gets respected and who doesnt? From my point of view, this statement seems to defer respect rather than earn it. I've been on here for over 3 years and have never once said i had the authority to deny someone respect for their short tenure on this site.

I think some people tend to lose sight that everything that happens on this website is a direct reflection on Mr. Allen Nelson and should be treated as such. Allen has spent years trying to make this a professional gathering of hobbyists, enthusiasts, and friends. Acting in such a way that deters from this can easily be taken as insult by Allen.

Before people try to get defensive, you should know that i am a huge potty mouth and one of the biggest trash talkers in person. But I really dont bring any of that here even though I still have my fun with a few members on here (cough Tyler cough ).

Case in point, before you (you refers to any member) post something, think of how it reflects on you and how it may reflect on others.

The site moderators are cleaning the site up and the trouble makers will weed themselves out.
If the trouble makers were gone, the site would run just fine. It has in the past and will in the future.

I along with 99% of the site do not want a forum that requires anyone to prove them self to anyone.
The site is setup for technical discussion, not belittling new comers and making them feel like it's wrong to post a question.
Newbies are what makes the site bigger, they are what make it grow and make the site become more popular.
More members, the more data we have, the more data we have, the more members will join.
Everyone on the site has a specialty, related to trucks or not. You never know when you'll need that members help on something, so why burn bridges with someone you don't even know.

To all you newcomers, post up, post up as much as you want, because I guarantee you, the next newbie is wondering the same thing.
The more posts, the more searchable data you'll create for other new members.
To all you tough guys and trolls, do what you want.


thanks,
allen

I thought we were trying to get away from all the hate and name calling?

hahah, ya, but i'm not assuming the troublemakers are good ppl, so they must be trolls.

I love this site, but sometimes I feel that some of the senior members run off new members. Doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to use search. Help him find it but don't call him out.
