Ozhonda Post Quality System / Knowledgable Posts

[A.G.System]

i may be misinterpreting this comment but it seems you are implying that the majority asian posters you mentioned before are not accepting of non-asians of the forum?

More to do with the fact that if someone doesnt fit the mold of a typical honda driver then a lot of the time they are not accepted as one.

It shouldn't be anything to do with race, colour, creed or religion.... it is meant to be about the cars and the driving experience with them.

I feel that a lot of people on these forums have lost that view point because they are so quick to judge.

Its a shame really.

sure there is rice bashing but other than that i can't say i've seen cases of what you are refering too

oh well each to their own

lol most of the 'bitch fighting' in tech sections is from the traders/tuners, including toda au and proecu that are here complaining about this pq system
(not having a dig but they both know it's true )

no offence taken, but thats the typical response from you guys and its an ignorant one.

I'd have to disagree with that.

It's not like you are one that likes to sugar coat your words.

I'm not sure I see how these comments fit into this thread? Feel free to create a new thread if you have genuine concerns and I/we will see what we can do.

If you wanted to block people from posting in the for sale forums thats easy. make the lounge posts not count towards totals and moderate the other forums to not tolerate spam.
then when someone hits their 50 or 100 posts they can access the for sale forums.

I think you'll find that the way the forum works has changed over time as its membership base grew. To fully understand this you need to see things as they were when the site first started and then grew.

Initially there was no restriction on selling in the Marketplace. Then we had people signing up just to sell things and then not returning or helping anyone else out. The idea is to create a community where everyone helps each other out.
So we brought in the post count restriction in order to sell. As a result we had people just spamming to get their post count up and then selling as soon as they could.
So we decided to hide post counts and introduce a minimum registration preiod along with the postcount restriction. This didn't help because people would still spam.
Finally we introduced the PQ points system such that users HAD to help others out in order to be able to sell something. Given this is the largest Honda forum in Australia the fact that you don't have to pay anything to sell (just answer someone question or point them in the right direction) is what I would call a fair deal.

uh?
Doesn't matter really. Lets move on.

Speaking of moving on......I thought you were moving on.....but you're still here?

Hoping this place will change for the better.

Would you prefer I left altogether?

[yourfather]

only way to change stuff is to be involved in it.

being cynical and stuff doesnt fix anything.

[ProECU]

I'd have to disagree with that.

It's not like you are one that likes to sugar coat your words.

So what you're saying here is that you'd prefer I talk in circles and roundabouts, rather than be precise and honest?

Interesting strategy, but not my style.

[yourfather]

Nah man, im not saying that at all.

What i'm saying is,

You can be direct, and correct, but you don't have to be blunt all the time.

Would you prefer I left altogether?

If you delete all my posts ever made, then I will gladly oblige Wyn.

Your call.

[bennjamin]

Evan you are speaking in circles and roundabouts.

What is exactly is the problem with the Post quality system ?
Any other ideas everyone ?

[SiReal]

rather than continually stating the cons, why not actually offer some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism to make it better. Accept that the PQ system will never be removed, so learn to live with it. 10,300 + other so members can, why can't you? Or is it purely a grudge against the other moderators?

Sure its a little unfair at times, but its a fact of life that you don't get everything you want. If you can't accept this, then obviously the rules of civilisation haven't reached you yet.

edit: proECU, this is not pointed at you bluntly, but really to all that keep criticising. Don't forget who owns this site. At the end of the day, its a public domain, run by the ppl that created it. It is unrealistic to assume they will hand over power to anyone who requests it. Alternatively, if still unsatisfied, start up another forum and you can have your way.
