Blaster Forum Issues I'd Like to Address

Not open for further replies.
I know I think I suggested it once, but I have been building a WRX rally car I'd love to share, but don't really care for other forums. I had talked to a few because others also had projects, cars/quads/mx bikes. Still on the line of motorized builds just a non-blaster build topic.

Hehe, I wasn't gonna post again in here, I forgotI:I

I would love to read about that WRX build.I:I
 
As for giving my opinion, I'm not to sure on that. It seems everytime I post an opinion on here, I get bashed.mine as well go for it anyways. My first concerns are BOTM. I understand CBABER may be a busy man but I don't want to see the BOTM contest die out like the contest have on E2S and Bluetraxs. It seems like it's heading that way with the late voting threads, no winners threads and no stickers being made and sent. I think it should be turned over to freek if cbaber doesn't have the time. As for the bashing, it does get out of hand but I've learned not to get pulled into that trap. I just don't post a reply to it.
 
VERY well put together Corey, lots of good and valid points.


every other forum I'm on have a moderator for each section. That doesn't mean that there are individual moderators for each section, each have a few assigned sections.


this forum has almost doubled in size over the past year, but there is roughly the same amount of daily active members. I do believe it may actually be time for a change in the Mod staff just because most are not as active as they once were, or possibly adding a couple.


If need be I'd help out wherever I can

Exactly what I'm talking about. Posting an opinion and getting bashed for it. Not right. Now if you're provoking and saying stuff that isn't really your opinion, okay, be bashed. But in general, it should not happen.

Thank you. I put a lot of time into the thread.
I agree with what you said, I think a switch up on moderation staff would be very beneficial.

As known, I too will help in any case available. There are so many willing members... just pursue them...
 
i believe a community citation program would be beneficial. what i mean by that is each member or supporting member (that would probably make it more sound) can leave citations when they see members acting outside the rules... any one gets 3 or more citations a admin would be alerted and then they can take the steps in rectifying the situation whether thats a ban suspension or just locking out a thread. This would put alot more eyes out and would still not give any one member the power to just ban someone because they felt like it. Its a community forum let the community regulate.

That's actually a great idea. I wonder if vBulletin has a set up for that...

great write up, i will proudly serve this forum as best as i can, whatever that means.

way to keep this a valid argument also guys
Yes, I appreciate that no one is creating unnecessary drama in here. I:I

You have a good idea there. It can be risky picking a Moderater. It's a fine balance. You have to keep the forum enjoyable. You can't let things get out of hand but you can't jump on someone for every little thing. You have to let a little slide but not to much.
 
There is a community citation system. It's the the report button and rep system.
I like the idea of switching out a mod for a new one. I wouldn't mind a vote thread on it.
 
i think we need a moderator for each section, i am also willing to help, until such a time as i feel i cannot maintain my duties as well i should.
 
Im with kronick above there is alot of suggestions that are going to be overlooked now that this has become "I want to be a moderator" that should not be forgotten.

i think you've already got a plate full with being mod on at least 2 other sites

I must have been misunderstood . I was not asking to be a Moderater on this forum. I was offering to keep an eye out for trouble and report it. I'm offering to help but if it's not wanted, that's fine with me.
