"Cool Pictures" Thread closed -- what a shame

For those that don't like how the mods operate, can I politely tell you to PISSOFF!! If threads stayed on topic and stayed drama free then the mods wouldn't have to close or delete them. This is a Trad Hot Rod Board after all. Noobs that don't like what the mods do to keep the HAMB on track, think to yourself, if all the threads you like get closed maybe the HAMB is not the forum for you.

I stopped looking at that thread long ago and I am glad it got closed.

All the Drama posts

OT posts

What it worth posts

S10, C10 post

They all suck!! and are worth deleting.

cheers

 

I respectfully request we hold off on that for a while.

A new Cool Pics Tread was started the first time it was Closed.

And when it was Re-opened I Merged them.


So we went down that route, and it didn't change anything...

 

I agree -- very offensive language indeed
No need for that at all

 

I'm not Ryan (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night), but if I were, I would say if you don't like the way things are run here, start your own site and you'll quickly see why things are the way they are here.

Sometimes I don't agree with the way things are done here, but it's not my site...deal with it.

I don't always see eye-to-eye with the moderators like Cob, but I have to say after reading his reply here...the man nailed it on the head....rant over.

 

When Denise is cussin' at you, you've screwed up.... bad.

Lovely thing about the 'net: Don't like the rules or people runnin' a particular site? Click the red X at the top right of yer screen.

And don't let the door hit you in the ass.

 

My opinion remains the same --
I think that the "Cool Pictures" thread was one of the best on the HAMB -- and I hated to see it closed down

Now, the mods obviously felt they needed to do it -- and so be it -- this is their board -- I'm just saying that I will really miss seeing all those very cool old pictures -- they ROCKED
It was cool seeing them all in one thread -- it was like a review of hot rodding history and was really fun to check in every day to see what new "treasure" had been added.

Sorry about starting a shit storm -- it was not my intention --

 

Thats allright, man.

Opinions and feedback are good...

 

I never really looked at the thread but I could see how it could be a moderators nightmare.

We are all just visitors here,so we have to follow the rules of the house.

Just enjoy the barbecue and don't pee in the pool.

 

You know, there are lots, and I mean LOTS, of off topic threads that are let run on here everyday. The moderators show great restraint, I believe, in not simply closing each and every one of them.

A lot of us are guilty of posting off topic threads, or responding to them (I do, I admit it), and not once have I ever seen anything other than an e-mail saying "your post on blankety blank was deleted". Wow! Just exactly how is that an abuse of power? If it's off topic and I post it I'm a big boy, I knew it was off topic when I joined. How did I know? I read the rules like I was told to. Now how hard was that?
-------------------------------------------------------------

I've yet to see anyone told off by a moderator about anything. I seriously doubt anyone got banned for posting just an innocent funny picture. Moderators who abuse their "power" would be dealt with by the owner of this site in my way of thinking. As far as biased opinions, yeah, everybody's got one, you included.

When you go to the bathroom, do you read the label on the toilet paper wrapper to see how to use it? No, hopefully you don't, because you learned a long time ago how to use it. Same thing here, if you take the time to learn how to use this site (as you are instructed to when you join) then you don't need someone to repeat those instructions to you later, it should already be there. Hot rods and customs, pre '64. Pretty straightforward and simple if you ask me. I fail to see how having something deleted that doesn't conform to this is so difficult to comprehend.

Bottom line: get off the mods asses because all it's going to do is make things less fun around here. They don't deserve to get screwed with or told anything other than "thank you".

Mods: Thank you.

 

I don't care what Ryan says about you...you're allright for a white boy...

 

Charlie Wenzel. That might go down in history as the best thread in the history of the internet. Ever.

(See, I can go off topic in an off topic thread...not banned yet)

 

Well I ma Bummed. That thread keep me coming back more than any. Some great History on there...
Why is it gone? Nobogy realyy has said just it was OT. because some cars where to new or what? Good pic is good pics....

 

It's not "gone". It was closed, not deleted....

More on why it was closed...

If you read this thread regarding the same subject that was posted yesterday you would realize that the mods spent alot of time over the last few months moderating and deleting OT posts and photos. When a persons posts gets deleted they get an automatic PM letting them know it got deleted.

If more people spent more time actually reading threads around here instead of just looking at the pictures more things would make sense.

 

Put on your big girl panties and get over it.
You don't get banned around these parts for language, you get banned for being stupid.

 

thanks for the link. 22 post deleated in a 2 days... wooo.... i kinda wish i could see them too.
is that wrong?.... ;-)

 

Well arnt you bad on a keyboard. And i guess because i don't agree with you and your fowl mouth i will be deleted or banned too. I'm already getting threatening emails cause i don't agree with the masses. Just another day in paradise. BTW someone calling another person names is childish and stupid. Be an adult.

 

I personally think that is an awsome statement!

 

hey Denise, you've got a "fowl" mouth!?!

 

yeah sorry about that, it was just that I posted 40-60 (all on topic) photos and tho see it be deleted was bumming me out, my mind was probably slower than my fingers and that anger off it being closed came out(did not mean that at all)..sorry

 

mods get paid?
