You should read this - v.GRUMPY ADMIN

[mrmephistopheles]

In case it's not abundantly clear by the stack of locked threads (and the others that I moved to their appropriate sections), I'm tired of "Chat" being mistaken for "Crap".

If you know me at all, you know I'm lazy.
Generally that means that I tend to let stuff slide, and maintain a laissez faire sort of attitude.

Something about seeing a thread about a Regional even in Chat and 6 'pic request' threads for stupid stupid things (FN01R-Cs? Really? You haven't ever seen those on a 240? Really?) just ground my gears, and it made me want to bite my keyboard and punch my monitor.

Luckily, I chilled out and just went on a locking/relocating spree. Seriously, placing threads in the appropriate sections isn't hard. Read the forum description if you're not sure, or ask a mod.

Anyway, the gist of my post here is this (and I'm going to put it in bold so that skimmers will pick up on it)

Do NOT post any worthless threads.

If your thread isn't a positive contribution to the forum, or if it's a question that's probably been answered a few times over, or perhaps something like "PIC REQUEST: Stock 240sx's", then don't post it.

We all have a wide variety of tools at our disposal: The search feature here, the Google, and our imaginations.

That's right, with a little (sometimes alot of) effort or perhaps some "thought", you can have most of your questions answered, all without hitting that 'Submit New Thread' button.

I realize I'm coming off as being condescending.
For those of you who don't deserve it, don't take it to heart.

For those of you that DO, however - learn from your mistakes and change your ways.

Rememeber that this is just the internet, and if you get moderated for some reason, it's most likely not personal. Also keep in mind that Zilvia is here for your benefit, as well as everyone else's.

Don't be selfish. Nobody likes having to spoonfeed other people, no matter how much they enjoy helping out.

When you can, give back to the community. Do a writeup with pics on a part you installed (stickers don't count). Make a Zilvia/240sx/Z32 related desktop to share with the class.

All I'm getting at is that I'd like the stupidity and ignorance levels around here to decrease, and the information and knowledge levels increase. Posting about an amazing chamois that's been on the market for years is ludicrously pointless.


Thanks for your time, and happy posting.
Remember, if you need help deciding whether or not a topic is a good idea, you can PM a moderator with your questions.
I've told them to behave and not bite (hard, anyway), so you should be good.
