    Some DUMB***ES post stuff that isn't allowed and got a great thread closed! Nothing new! Happens all the time. Some guys here on the HAMB only care about themselves. Sad,but true.
    I'm positive that a moderator could remove "unacceptable" posts and prevent this from happening,instead of closing threads that the HAMBers with some values enjoy. What do you guys think?

    Yep.

    I asked some time ago ( page 124 of that Thread ) to keep it On Topic or it would go away.

    To bad...

    Some really good stuff got posted on that Thread.

    shouldn't a moderator's job be to moderate? not just wholly crush a cl***ic and never to be accomplished again thread? dip ****s aside?

    Do you guys not realise how big the HAMB actually is? To have to go through all the posts just to babysit would take a whole crew of people working full time. I hated seeing the post go too, but I damn well understand the reason.

    For what ever reason; doesn't matter, it's closed now. I really looked forward to seeing the Pics; matter of fact; I set that to my favorites; and went on to the rest of the forum from there!!

    go start one in the main section of the board... this isnt the place to have it...

    for all you who want to point a finger, call names and ***** about the mods here... remember, this place is HUGE. the number of posts on any given day is friggin staggering. when they delete a thread, or close one its for a good reason... and remember, the man gave the people in that thread fair warning that it was gonna get closed if it didnt get and stay on track

    It's real simple folks. The Moderators here do it because they believe, whole-heartedly, in the HAMB and what it is, where it's been and where it's going.

    The majority of people here appreciate the focus we work hard to maintain. We've seen a lot of good and bad flow through here and we're *pretty good* at figuring which is which and also what threads will lead to value and which won't.

    We're not always right and you shouldn't expect us to be. You also shouldn't expect to be able to start OT threads and then complain about how they are handled.

    In the end, posting here is a privilege and should be treated as such.

    Unless you have helped Moderate a large board yourself, you probably have
    NO idea how much work it is, and how difficult it is to keep people happy.

    Throw in a few trouble makers, and regular ***holes, and it starts to sound like work.

    Well the thread didn't get closed by me and I'm not *****ing why my post reply comment was delete. Just should have deleted the person's comment / picture or picture's that shouldn't have been there it's that simple and not a hard thing to do that is why you are the moderator's. Now knowing my comment was going to be deleted I said what I said I stand by it. If you found it funny or not I don't care I thought as a DAMN AMERICAN I had the free will and the right to speak my mind as we fought and still fight to keep that right to do so in our great nation.:cool:

    the HAMB aint a democracy. period. end of story. you have no right to free speech here, none of us do. if something we say is deleted, so be it. its water off a ducks *** man this is the way it works.

    you have NO ****ING IDEA how much work the mods do for a large thread like that one. keeping up with it gets to be a full time thing, then it gets shut down. alex and company dont do it lightly, trust me

    It's pretty simple really....ANY tread not DIRECTLY related to Traditional hotrods/customs needs to be DELETED ASAP.
    Stop with the "prayers needed", the "I just got my Alliance tag", "my dog died"..... and how many pic threads does a forum need on Model A's and '32's....really......

    If ya think about it.....99% of threads are not useful, as most everything has been done (it's traditional rodding remember.....we're copying the PAST?).....searching generally gets ya the info needed.....but then the Hamb has become a BUSINESS....

    I find myself logging in less and less lately......

    Too many new members, not enough searches being done... same old, same old...:rolleyes:

    I learned my lesson by doing a keyword search first...sometimes a Google search nails it, sometimes the HAMB has it, sometimes I just ask my buddies. Ebay is a big help too. Then there is Rikster...

    Craigslist, if you want to be swamped with end-of-the-world types...lol....

    you just nailed it!!! How many posts can a guy take about 32 fords? I love EM just like anyone, but this isnt the 1932 ford journal.

    Whats wrong with "im a traditional hot rod guy who needs prayers for ???"

    how about"i just got my alliance tag, where should i put it on my traditional hot rod ???????"

    or" my dog died, he hung with me while i worked on my traditional hot rod"

    a lot of new guys on here that have not seen, or posted about the things you have, its new to them. As far as you logging in less,and less, maybe the hamb has run its course for you.
