Re: PETITION to improve VWvortex! SIGN IT! (adg44)
quote:[HR][/HR]OK, never mind. I can't beleive you guys come to suggestion box forum, and when I'm actually trying to get things changed intelligently, without whining, and professionally, i get called immature. So keep up all your bitching guys. I think you all just enjoy sitting here complaining.
Oh come on!!! "intelligently" "professionally" ??? You put up a petition when you should have just gone into the proper thread and voiced your opinion! That's why we created it. A well written, throughly thought out post that makes VALID points is honestly appreciated and taken into consideration by the staff of VWvortex.
Creating a petition which just makes you seem like a moron saying the moderators hold grudges, and that you don't like what they are locking, and that the forum isn't being run how YOU want it to be run. Also, you have numerous spelling and grammatical mistakes in your petition, and I am starting to wonder if you can even write a coherent sentence!
You are less than 1% of all registered users that are complaining. Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself "Maybe I am the only one, and part of the problem might be me?" Moderators don't hold grudges, but if you constantly break the rules cause problems, you're going to be remembered.
Over the past month, half of your threads have been off topic, and you have continually had issues with a moderator or two. Here's how it's going to be, if you have SUCH a problem with VWvortex... why are you here? We are doing a great service to the members so that the forum is easy and delightful to navigate, with on topic posts and keeping crap out of the forums.
I mean step back and realize that even members of vortex, who might not agree with the changes are flamming you. Read some of your signatures of your omnipotent "petition".
Please..... http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif

I've noticed that many also have issues with the same person.
And I do feel that I was being treated unfairly -- by him specifically. I have tried posting things in here --- many very very good ideas to improve the forum. And I've had moderators tell me that even though they are good ideas, there really is no way to make changes in Vortex. So, you might say, why not just leave? Well, I enjoy the people here, I enjoy the discussion, and I enjoy VWs. I came to the correct forum to post this, and I did it in a mature way. WOuld you rather have me say "HA HA MODERATORS SUCK." You'd probably lock the damn thing if I did. But look at all the posts above calling me a baby. If I was a baby, I would be whining. I;m clearly NOT whining, I'm just trying to change this place for the better. Even if people don't have issues with the current state of Vortex, is there harm in attempting to make it better?
I think you're just mad because I mentioned one of thr posts that YOU locked for no reason. Furthermore, the only off-topic post that you locked from me was the one about Nudespeed --- nevermind that Nudespeed has MKIV Jettas and Golfs on it. That's not to say that it shouldn't have been locked, but for christ sake, don't act like I post off topic crap all the time. YOU locked an on-topic post. High-speed stability in our cars is a VERY pertinant issue. So what if I said that I've gone 115 on a public highway, BOO HOO. There is a guy in there right now who posted that he took corners at 60 MPH up a canyon. People always talk about removing their catalytic converters. Now I'm no enivronmentalist, but I'm sure to many people out there the idea of unfiltered exhaust air constantly being pumped into the atmosphere is far greater of an illegal activity than doing 115MPH on a wide-open dead straight portion of farm highway in broad daylight in a car with tires and suspension than can handle it. Yet it got locked. How else am I supposed to take that other than bias? I post about all my new mods that I bought, and people make immature personal attacks like "woa, his daddy must have raised his allowance hee hee hee." The thread doesn't get locked. Instead, I get yelled at for having a joking title to the thread. Yet, you are the king of announcing your new mods to the world. And you joke around more in your sig and "todler-ator" than I ever do in my posts. I know you read my post about my new mods, and I know you saw all the personall attacks, but of course, no lock. Then when I try to retaliate, WITHOUT swearing or use of much personal attacking so people don't get the wrong idea about me, BAMN, I get an IM from a moderator about it. ????
I figured If I posted what I posted in the petition on here it would just get immediately locked, so I did what I did. Now watch, even though this is completely on topic, with NO personal attacks, or anything, one of you will lock this thread. Go for it. Got forbid we have discussions on here, or anything pertinant. Maybe if I posted "I think we should get back Avatars" or something sterile and easily ignorable you'd be happy. This is just my opinion, of course. I would like a response, though!
Also, for those that are arguing "VarLordahl never paid a penny to Vortex." Well, I own 2 T-shirts and 4 stickers. While not much, I beleive my contribution is enough to warrant fair treatment and maybe even people listening to what I have to say.
