Off-topic Talk Where overpaid, underworked S2000 owners waste the worst part of their days before the drive home. This forum is for general chit chat and discussions not covered by the other off-topic forums.

Anyone getting sick of moderation on forums they

Couldn't agree more!
Want to speed up the site? Forget about dumping money into expensive computer equipment. Just dump useless crap like "the Corner"!
This is a car forum, nobody cares if you have a ppd count of 60 (especially when virtually every post you do is just of a smilie).
It drives me nuts when I see people with huge sigs, with every badge imaginable, posting useless crap, in threads that are 19 pages long, made up of nothing but other smilies, posted by other ppd whores. (end of run-on sentence rant )
I realize that people want to do more than just talk about the S2000, and I certainly browse through many of the sections of s2ki. But if you want to post off topic items, post them here. If you want to post useless crap, or even nothing at all, post on another site made for this stupidity (like offtopic.com).
And I realize that this has nothing to do with the original post regarding avatars, but I really needed to get that point across.

btw - I do agree with the mods and CO's on this. I love looking at the hot women that some people have in their sigs or avatars, but that's not ultimately why I'm here. If I want to look at skin, I can find much better stuff elsewhere (which is what I'm gonna the second I'm done posting this). But if people are finding it offensive, or just plain not necessary to have pop up at work, then by all means, just take it down and find something else. Because ultimately, we are all bonded to this site over the car, not the skin.

I could start dumping every useless post, that would keep me entertained every morning for an hour or so. I don't mind people bitching at me for throwing their garbage in the dum(b)pster especially those posts that are just a smiley or a totally inane comment, which I am guilty of sometimes.

Oh yeah, let someone try to post up some spam and see how many emails the mods get to get rid of that...

I'm sick of people that can't use proper grammar.
if you are concerned for gramer go to a language composition forum,

if you want to find out more on the car and how to drive it contribute at s2ki.

I don't think it's too much to ask for someone to be able to communicate in a clear and coherent manner - whether you're asking a question or answering a question.

But explain to me how "contributing" will help me find out more on the car and how to drive it?

Next complaint is about the same avatar on this site. I have had it for about 4 months, this morning I log in and get an IM stating that someone finds my avatar offensive so he takes it down.

No there are tons of signature and avatars on this site and that site that show way more skin or sexual content then any of mine did.
Well I liked your avatar. I didn't find it offensive at all, and I think whoever does is pretty uptight. It's just a woman in a normal pose with different outfits on. Who cares about that? There's absolutely nothing sexual about your avatar, except that a couple of the outfits show a little cleavage. I don't find that to be much of a problem. I just hope her face was as hot as the rest of her.

"clear and coherent manner" not important, please go around the block a few times to come back and think outside your box you have built.
