FerrariAds.com Ferrari of the Month
| Note from Rob |
Users, participation, and sponsors on FerrariChat.com continue to grow at a fast rate. We're doing the best we can to take advantage of an expanding community while also giving users a small community feel in places. Possible to balance the best of both? I think so. More users, participation, and sponsors equals more experiences, quicker responses, higher quality content, and more commercial options with first hand reviews. No one likes an inactive thread or forum, everyone wants to participate and be where there is the most activity. So how do we keep a small community feel where everyone knows your name? It is a challenge, but one reason we have over 70 sub-forums on FerrariChat.com. There are VERY active sub-forums on FerrariChat.com with 20-30 or more active threads a day, but also forums with only a couple active threads a day. Every sub-forum has its core users and some of these smaller areas might only have a few dozen active users. If you are overwhelmed with the size of FerrariChat.com I suggest you look around in some of the regional, model/make specific, or Ferrari Lifestyle sub-forums for a place where everyone knows your name. :)

1.3 No "Spamming": Please do not double post or cross-post the same message in multiple forums. You will not mass-PM or mass-email multiple members of this community the same message. You will not post for the sake of increasing your post count.
QUALITY is one of the top goals for FerrariChat.com. The community needs to maintain an efficient exchange of information. If posts are copied in multiple places or users are posting meaningless content for sake of post count then we aren't maintaining community QUALITY. We heavily moderate copied threads and irrelevant posts. If a user continues this behavior it can result in a ban. Some new users honestly don't know better, but I think the majority do. Post count is nothing to strive for, the community will respect you most for the QUALITY of your participation.
You may have already seen the thread I posted this week, but this slide show of "The Jerks of Online Forums" is funny, but very true.
