Instead of more rules how about starting another area called "The Couch" where newbs or others that get their feelings hurt can go lick their wounds and bond with others that got on the wrong side of "The Mean People"?

lol, I actually like this idea!!
I'm not sure "The Couch" is the right name for it though. What do they call those rooms where you take your kids to change their diapers?

for the most part everything goes along pretty cool here at vmx ..until somebody says something real stupid that deserves a reply. the bait casting posts and the general "hit the cage with a stick routine" isn't no big deal. as for the making fun of the riders post that is lame. go ahead and make fun of em...but if you do you ain't a motocrosser, and if yer not a motocrosser/dirtbiker what the fuck are you doing here? just leave.

somebody made the comment the other day that went something like "people make fun of other sports, football etc, and rip on TO and call Cutler a whiner and whatever. This is true...they aren't athletes either. Just douchedbags on a tv screen or drinking a beer in a bar. respect the sport and respect the racers. saying alessi can't ride sx whoops as good as others is a fact. go ahead and say it...but to say he doesn't have heart or chad is a crybaby and a quitter or whatever. if a rider makes a mistake...a rookie mistake go ahead and discuss it...doesn't mean he's a novice though. Take LB for example...larry doesn't have the whole web deal down yet....he is too busy to sit in front of these fuckin things and made/makes a few mistakes along the way. but ti does't mean larry is a fuckass or a loser or a whiner and a general asshole. go ahead and talk to larry sometime...he's a good dude and a former badass mxer...still can kick ass to this day probably.

People that want to come to this kinda place like vital love motocross...one way or another. they race, they watch the races and ride or their family or friends ride. They're not dipshits on espn or wannabees at happy hour. so show a little respect to these guys...and if you don't give a fuck about the riders you can sure care about how a parent or sibling responds to the shit talking. It hurts them...i know that much. I am not perfect by any means either. i coulda donned a thinking cap a time or two before i posted before...no doubt.

another thing...i don't start shit here..but i sure will respond to shit talk. Smile


as for new rules...let's hear em. one thing i came up with talking to tfs a few years ago was sub forums.
if there are a few asswipes, myself included...cluttering up the topics arguing amongst themselves stuck in a rut, banish em to a subforum where only those few people can post and reply for a couple of days, . but make it so others can watch and look in on em...hehehe.Smile might work.

and if you don't understand my bombastic replys to ignorant topics by now you never will.
btw....hanging with around a bunch of friends we always talk shit and bust each others balls and it's all in good fun. we crack ourselves up...so don't take the name calling personal. Smile

carry on folks.....I am surprised i can even post this. Smile
Very well said Bobby.

I think EVERYONE just needs to calm the fuck down and things will get back to normal around here.

One thing I would REALLY like to see is a "report post" button. It's impossible for the mods to keep up with all the posts, all day, every day and this would make it way easier to keep on top of the shit.

I think this is the best rule... one name. But if you made that rule... half the members would be gone.......but not really Laughing Laughing

Seriously, I think there is a lot of this going on......

You do what facebook does and make people use their real names (usually).
That is a very good idea. I think that should be rule number 1

It should be that all usernames in excess of 500 posts be taxed 10% of their post count, and that total post count be spread among the 95% of usernames below 500 post counts.

This thread is awesome.

I can't think of any good rules. Something I do a lot is type out a post, read it, re-read the thread, and ask myself if the post adds anything to the thread. If the answer is no, I don't post it (at least 90% of the time). But it's basically just another "think before you post" / "talk to people like you would face to face" strategy.

This is one of those posts I'm posting despite my judgement being that it adds nothing to the thread.

I'll work on some tomorrow...but in the meantime, I'd like some feeback from you guys as well. What would you like to see in the posting rules to keep things civil here?

Once they're done, I'll sticky them and leave it at the top of the forum.

Yea we should be more like you (imagine how boring this board would be), in about 10 years or so NEVER ONCE have you been creative or smart enough to CREATE YOU'RE OWN THREAD.

Always a follower and never a leader, no wonder all you can do is work at a potato chip factory...... lol

Let's see, we're in a thread talking about how we're creating some rules for civil posting, and you guys are fighting. What's wrong with this picture?

But G-man, I do have to say, it's ALWAYS funny when someone busts out the, "...never once have you been creative or smart enough to create you're own thread," line. And if I have to explain what's funny about that, you'll never get it anyway.
