One forum has a 6 month no buy/sell period, and you have to get 300 posts. Why does waiting 6 months make me a less sketchy person???
Another forum blocks swear words and bans people for arguing.
I don't really go there, I love r3v.Originally posted by z31maniacI just hate everyone.
No need for discretion.

Bimmerforums....no swearing in Off topic. I can understand that in the regular forums but in off topic silly as all hell.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I don't mind rules as long as they are enforced equally. The interpretation of a rule can lead to some really stupid situations. I was banned for a year because a mod found my post to be full of hate. Some really racist statements have been made on this forum without any result coming from it. So no rules are not a problem. Moderators banning without discussion or warning causes problems. This was the one way conversation I received:
"for being an ignorant intolerant redneck piece of shit. When its clearly not acceptible here."

I used to be a E30tech regular but they have seem to have sold out there are so many adds on that site I don't know what I am looking at! But I also came over to R3V because I is just so much easier.
I see a forum like a group of friends I swear, look at naked chics, crack some FUNNY not dis-tasteful racisim here and there and everybody has fun. I don't think about what I say when I am talking to friends so I don't see why I should on forums.
Oh and that 3 letter thing is annoying BMW, E30, 325, 318, M20, M42 it fails bad LOL
Anyways keep up the awesome forum R3V it kicks ass!! FUCK YEH!sigpic

Originally posted by george graves View PostOh god. I could go on and on about stupid rules I've seen - I'm sure we all have. I started out as a forum moderator - it's fun - but it's annoying sometimes. If you have 1000's of member on-line, someone is always having a bad day. And that end up in your lap.
Here a little something most people don't know....Generally the rules that are put up on a forum, the stupid ass stuff like pauses between posts, and non-editing of posts after 15 mins...all that stuff is just some check box option in the software. It's not some genius plan that the admin came up with to make the forum run better. It's just them cranking up all the annoying settings so that they can do the least about of work, rake in the most ads money and profit. Hey if a little is good...a lot if BETTER!....wrong.
If a forum sucks, it usually cause the person with the admin power either, likes playing god, or just isn't good at seeing that they don't need to lock every-freaking-thing down.
The setting regarding search (the no searing 3 letter words) is the admin being too much of a cheap ass to up their hosting - so they scale back the server load by screwing the users. Yea. real f-ing smart. Every hobby or industry is loaded with 3 letter aberrations for things. I honestly don't know what some of these clowns think they are doing.
It's really sad to see how many forums are run as a money making machine - carefully disguise as a user forum(the newer the BMW the more it's true - there is more money up for grabs). What even worse is to to see the users that have zero clue that they are just being force-fed ads, and that the admin doesn't give a rats ass about the users. They'll even stand up for the admin and advertisers - not knowing what a chump they are being. On the e46 and up forms, that the main forum advertisers, are the last people you want to give your money to.
R3v is (for the most part) has really good advertisers. And honestly, we shoudl stop giving them so much shit.
If you guys knew how much money some of the big sites want for an ad, you'd shit yourself. But for the parts companies paying it, it's a cash cow for them - so they suck it up and pay. Too bad for the users get shafted. Most of them are sheep anyways....I guess it doesn't matter...
I love R3V - it's like a breath of fresh air.

A forum's quality is all about the mods. Even if there are ghey rules, if they are enforced honestly, and with logic, you can have a great forum. You can have a good conversation about anything, without HAVING to cuss, if that is what the rule is....
Honestly, some of the worst forums I've been on were the ones with no rules. Arguing, trolling, buying/selling at will, nonsense ramblings.... it sucks.
From what little I've been on here, this forum seems to be a good one. The threads are all on subject, and very little back and forth thread ruining arguing, and the rules dictate an "adult" place to post.
