Thanks for having me!" and then drinking 7 beers, a few shots, eating a hamburger and a bag of pretzels. Don't even go there.




    Great job Doug.



    Ive been around here for over 6 years. Never really got burned out, just didnt pay attention to the trouble makers.


    Great site, good job guys (and gal)!

    This topic just keeps coming up...... I havn't been around here very long so I can't say how far down hill this site has gone but I do know that I have made some "friends" that I never would have met if not for this site and I am learning alot by bieng a 3ww member. Trikefest has become something that I look forward to along with pensiltucky and ice racing at raffas. I try to keep my poking to a minimum and try to make more friends than enemies. THANK YOU for this site. it truly is a home away from home

    I totally agree. the owners have put up with way too much from some users. I just don't understand the nerve of some people sometimes. It's crazy. They will use use use for their own ends, then burn all the bridges they can when the people being used get tired of it, then instead of a simple thank you and I'm sorry, they will want to argue and fight.

    I say just hit the Ban button.

    This thread is greatly appreciated, and reaffirms my thoughts on this site as a well moderated and helpfull one. As to the trouble makers, I guess I'm relatively new and haven't encountered anything genuinely rude or hostile. If this forum has gone down hill then I couldn't imagine how it was before. So far I have encountered nothing but people who are passionate about the sport and offer knowledge based on experience and research to help along their fellow riders. I am glad to know that there are people behind the scenes working to keep this relatively clean and organized.

    Thank you,
    Casey

    Are you talking to me? It's kinda hard to see what your talking about when you quote a post then say quote removed.

    The intent of this thread, is a heads-up for certain people. It is not posted concerning any 1 incident or member.
    It has come about because of a rash of negative people, and posts over the last 6-8 months.

    As mentioned before, Those folks probably know who they are..


    The thread is not intended, for debates about how the site is run, or to call out anyone by names.

    The posts have been edited, to avoid arguments or bashing.

    This thread is more about the people that are repeat offenders.
    They recieve a infraction, some learn, and appologize, others argue over the infraction, and repeatedly, continue to get infractions.
    (These people know who they are, and will find that the tolerance for their ways has run out)
    We give these people warnings, via a infraction, vs, just a straight ban, and yet they dont head the warning.

    The infractions will continue, as a polite warning.
    If that edge is pushed, the recipients need to realize at that time, they got their warning, because there wont be 2 warnings.
    If you get a infraction, you broke the rules plain and simple.
    Look at it like this.
    Consider it as being pulled over for speeding, but only given a warning vs. a ticket.
    In that scenario, I am sure anyone would be happy driving away from a certain speeding ticket, with just a warning slip.
    There are the few, that would choose to argue with the cop, until it escalates to a ticket, maybe even more.
    We have a few of them people here!
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    No. There was a post right under yours that another mod deleted.

    The way posts get deleted with nothing left in their place can get confusing. It's one of the things we're talking about possibly changing if it turns out to be possible.

    Great site Great group of guys on here. Every site will have some bad mouthing and rudeness. Some people are raised diffrent and just dont know any better. This site is good because of all the people that are on it. It will be a shame is people have to start getting booted because they cant keep the nasty and pointless comments to themself.


    Its simple! EVERYONE was warned and now lets make the changes to make this a site for both young and old. the young kids coming into riding trikes are going to keep this sport alive and also this website.

    I think we could all shape up just for the respect to the person who started this site. RIP.

    Thank you and you're exactly right.

    We're discussing changing the way we do things a little bit. I have no idea how it will shake out at this point but just as some people need to adjust their behavior on here, I also think that we (the mods) can do a better job.

    I really just wanted people to stop and think about message boards in general from a little different perspective. A lot of the problems you see on forums everywhere come down to a simple lack of respect. Not just for the site owners or mods or whatever but even for fellow members. I'd rather see a little more common sense and personal restraint being used than to just start banning people. Even some of these guys that are a constant pain in the backside have something useful to contribute. Their contributions do not always outweigh the drama they create however, so some people are gonna go away if they don't recognize what they're doing and correct it.
