...and I get it. There are only a handful of mods, but I keep volunteering. I think other people are volunteering, too. I don't know, man. If they want to keep traffic up they could let us clean this place up but it's almost like the incorrectly placed threads and shit bring the type of traffic the owners want. Who knows.
I'm just sick of all the dick-riding and the immediate hypocrisy of the 'new' people.
"Hey I tried to search, but here's a topic you're going to automatically search to fact-check me and see that I'm full of shit about searching for."

"Wow how are you justified in calling me out for bullshitting when you caught me being lazy. No wonder this forum has reputation I knew about but decided to test and now want to be mad about the outcome."
OR
"Hey bros let me spam the same 3 dude's cars from IG and make it sound like they aren't rotating one of three looks: OEM, OEM+, and NOT OEM BUT KINDA OEM!"
(...and as a fan of TEs/LMs, the cars I'm picturing will always have a set of these wheels until someone brings a set of GTNs back and everyone wants to copy said person.)
We're in a rat race.

I could give a fuck is someone gives me shit over hazing new kids. If you blatantly disregards everyones time and clutter a thread or make new ones with bullshit and nonsense, you will pay.
I agree that the lack of moderation here is partially why I didn't post for a good time. I have been doing this long enough to where I didn't need to ask questions and I came here just to read random chat threads, see what's for sale and chit chat with the OG friend circle. Recently, the influx of sheer stupidity - like some moron that was arguing that SSR isn't Speed Star for nearly a full page - that made me want to download an IP tracker, drive to his house and steal their keyboards.
I should ask for my moderator power back promising I won't go on a long hiatus again. That shit would have been nipped real quick.
