this thread was closed in the lounge because "it's considered spam, this is a car forum"...
then what is the lounge for? Does this mean mods are going to go in the lounge and close 98% of the threads in there?
i closed it - as it is spam. It will be found on other forums too...in the vain hope of "getting votes" without the voter of actually knowing what it is .
We allow SPAM in the SPAM section. Nothing personal on anyone - but The lounge is more used as everyday discussion...not cheaply trying to reap benefits for friends/family/associates.
ok sorry... just i thought that the reason u put seemed fairly general for a 'lounge' forum where the majority of posts aren't car related.
its the same reason we have a moderator just for the lounge too.Quote:

just my 2 cents worth.
I joined ozhonda to learn more about my car, get some great contacts, talk with like minded honda owners, have a laugh every now and then, and meet up for some cruizes. My initial reaction when I started was that it is hard to find your place in here as I wasn't a regular forum user and I made a few mistakes etc. BUT once you make those mistakes & get over the flaming (LOL), its a great place to be in. The Mods may be a little harsh sometimes, but with the amount of members i think they need to be. You need to remember that this place existed before you joined and that some topics have been talked about 101 times before you were even here. A little more thought into posts goes along way. Now, I can't resist the forums on OH, they are fun to be in and way better than some other boring sites i've been to. Rules are Rules, they are there for a purpose, and I'm pretty sure the rules here get bent & broken sometimes, but all for good reason. Anyway, keep up the good work guys, and OH can be an informative/interactive/Freindly & damn funny place to be in :thumbsup:
how much did OH mods pay u to say taht Flanderz?
lol @ Chi
everyone always likes to whinge about people who are above them or in charge, especially if they do something u dislike, whether u are right or wrong, you are gonna complain... i think its the way life goes.. at school u whinge about your teachers, at work u whinge about your boss, when your young with your mates u whinge about your parents...
so on these forums, people are gonna whinge about the mods.
LOL was actually just about to pay THEM. soon wyn, soonQuote:

Good job mods. I've seen worse (remember that site that got investigated by the police cos they were posting up their crimes? - some dandenong boys site i dont remember..buahahah) OH is a big reason why I don't fall asleep at work.
ROFL@thread
If there isn't going to be anything constructive soon i'm a gonna lock this.
Id prefer mods that are more harsh with the rules rather than too lax with the rules... it keeps the forum on the right direction in my opinion..maybe the lounge could be modded less...but more posts = more space = more server space = more money etc etc....but i havent had too many of my posts deleted removed..
theres a good chance that if the mods were too lax id probobly complain..
I think the title is misleading too..cause it sounds like you like the forum, just not some of the moderators..
who appoints mods ? wyn ? well maybe wyn can investigate some of the mods decisions? eg like auditing...maybe this would keep users happy or not thinking that our OH mods are over zealous ??
finally this forum is fun and meant to be for honda lovers..but it is getting big as well..it will start to look more like a shop than a forum eventually...just a comment
not sure if this is constructive to the discussion..
