So first of all, I really enjoy Vital. I spend a lot of time on here. I appreciate that the moderation is pretty fair, and honestly the boss and mods put up with a LOT. This place can turn into a madhouse but it's a fun madhouse!

It seems pretty much anyone is open game to talk about. Riders, teams, media people, trainers, etc and some of these people get ripped on really good. Like REALLY good. ( Mathis, Jody, Dungey, Reed, Barcia...) But notice I said "pretty much" anyone.....

I've noticed over the years and even just lately, it seems some people are just off limits. In the past two weeks two threads got completely clipped for no real reason. The threads seemed pretty respectful and clean. One was about a certain teams crew chief and the other was about an ex pros marital status.

If GuyBro and the rest of the mods would be very honest with us, I have a question - do industry folks request that certain threads and certain topics get the clip? Like lets be honest here - industry folks ABSOLUTELY read this forum. They do, anyone who believes they don't is fooling themselves. I'm just curious if you guys think if someone wants a thread gone.....it gets gone.

Admin, care to comment? Sideways

I clipped the RC andhis ex-wife thread because it turned into a stupid TMZ investigation.

So, the thought is that a controversial thread is started. A vintage Vital train wreck ensues. Industry celeb reads it or hears about it, calls Gibby and asks him to remove it?

Honestly, I think our mods are smart enough and respectful enough that they remove it long before they get a call from industry celeb.

Yeah thats kinda what I was wondering.....

Fair enough , the mods might clip some things before they got out of hand, but have you seen some comments on Mathis? Guillespie?? Jeff Alessi???

Just wondering why those get to stay....

Based on what I've seen over the years. Pretty much anything remotely related to moto is allowed. On the other hand, things related to individuals personal lifes, family, girlfriends, etc are off limits. Defamatory TMZ topics not even tangentially related to moto don't seem to last long, thankfully.

So, if your non-moto early teen daughter would love it. Probably isn't going to last long.

Um, she's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw your momma pass out at the Monster party. I guess it's pretty serious.

The ones with Jeff Alessi usually stay because he keeps adding fuel to the fire when he has his meltdowns and not sure if he does it on purpose and goes all Jerry Springer or if he's really that, How can I put this ?.....................Thick Wink

Maybe the best way to make less work for the moderators is to have every members real name and pic listed below their vital name. I imagine things would clean up pretty quickly if the anonymity was gone

John Gallagher used to be off limits, as I can personally attest.
