Y, do I like to watch Mary Poppins, and sing chim chimney chim chim - charoo ?

Good questions...

 

Nice "compact" thread Title.

 

LOL

 

wow joe that was quick you almost aniticipated this thread.

this is rob's house and his rules. if you are unhappy or don't like the way he runs this board then i am sure there are pleny of other FREE sites that you can join. you are not even a paid member and you are *****ing?

 

can you scare away roy lol

 

Rob:

Since you mention scaring off users, I have at least 2 PMs that ask why they should subscribe to a forum where mods will come in and modify when no rules have been infringed upon? Thats a serious problem.

Furthermore, you've sent a clear message with the treatment of my 2 threads that maintaining a thread long-term (which I was doing to provide a restoration or enthusiasts resource) is FROWNED upon on F-Chat. See Dave's final post in the locked thread. Why?

This all begs the question for someone like myself who has archived special material on these cars for over 20 years: why should I come on here and spread the wealth of information via illustrations, historical images and text?

Remember, Id probably sell more cars if I stayed off F-Chat, and I get PAID to share relevant material (Im in the book publishing biz in case you dont know). Yet I chose to come on here and make a dedicated effort to share for free, but Im rewarded with the BS of the past week.

I cant speak for the other threads, but as far as my 2 threads are concerned, the modification of their titles can be summed up in one word: unnecessary.

 

Whoa Rob, lets set the record straight! According to whats in my file per our last correspondence, I CHOSE not to renew

Thank You.

 

No wonder. Allansmenstrualcyclekillsusall.

 

Glad you can do that.

Dont be blown away. It goes to the heart of: "don't put words in my mouth". Im sure if you sent me an e-mail, then I modified it and sent it on for others to view, you'd be upset if you found out, ESPECIALLY if you had no say!

Now how is that so hard for you to understand?

 

How about an active moderator for the North central section? Someone who actually lives in the region. Someone who can edit thread titles (for example if an event date is changed, to avoid confusion), merge topics (when 2 threads are created for a single event), etc etc. That forum needs cleaning up every once in a while, but none of the mods even glance at that section unless we call them in. At the last drive in Ft. Wayne there were at least 3 threads for the same event, all listing separate days, which eventually got sorted out but only after 10 or 20 posts repeating the same thing in increasingly larger font size.

Heck I would volunteer to do it. I know I've had a bit of a history with some other members, but if the only power is to manage threads, without giving them banning/user modifying powers, that wouldn't even be a factor. But I would personally nominate jim shadow or SMS if they are up for it. They are respected members and active on Fchat, not just in North Central.

 

LOL! How much published writing have you done? You know what happens when a writer's article title is changed by the editor without consultation? I think you're leaving out the mutual consent bit, unless of course thats not a consideration at your place.

 

i will be honored if a thread is named after me, GO GET ROY LOL, what are you guys complaining about?

 

I asked him to leave me here so you would have a life....if I leave what would you do,,,??
