Important ques. for all MODERATORS.

[hpiguy]

Answer me this please.

All you moderators said that swearing on a constant basis would result in getting banned.

Why is it that T-MAXX-ER and Break A Maxx are allowed to continue swearing and arguing for over two weeks now?

Why are they allowed to do whtever they want, and the rest of us aren't?

In case you overlooked their conversations, here is a topic they are both in that you should see. And it is just one. Every time they post it's all curse words. The topic is in the Nitro section under "Carb swap" or something like that.

I think they are going to burn out the censor program. LOL.

Oh and lest we forget the lovely rapor they have on the topic "Questions reagrding my T-Maxx" that is particularly lovely.

Especially where TMAXXER asks Break A Maxx to, and I quote" (Vacuum reference) a (flatulence reference) out of my (posterior reference)."

And join us next weekend on potty mouth theater. Until then !@@$%$^%^%$^#^#$&%^&$%! Good eveniong.

LOL, just had to add the humor into this.

I know you guys can't catch it all, so I figured maybe us memebrs could help once in awhile in pointing out the offenders.

Or in other words, policing ourselves.

If you want to help them with situations like these, it is more important to email them the problem than wait for them to respond on here. Sometimes it is quicker to use email than use this. And dont respond to arrogant posts like those either. It just adds to the amount of time it takes to delete those off of the server.

Lets state the obvious, HPI rally cars rule.

12 year olds swear a lot like that, it makes them feel like big-boys. But everyone else just thinks they are ignorant, which they probably are.

HPIGUY - thank you for pointing this out. As you suggested, it's hard for us to baby sit these people all the time. I have no tolerance for that kind of behavior and I'm now reviewing the chat logs every day (which log everything that's posted in the chat rooms) and taking corrective action when I see it. In the interim, please dont hesitate to email me when you see this. I want chat to be enjoyable and focus on RC - not the immature rantings of someone who thinks it makes them feel big to use foul language because mommy and daddy can't see it. If they would only realize that using that type of language reveals just how immature they really are..... Oh well. Thank you for letting me know.

[hpiguy]

Normally with situations as this I would e-mail the moderators and keep it off the boards.

But in posting this in the open I was hoping that those two and others would take the hint, and stop it before we lost two members, or more in the future.

I would love to add something to this thread but I would probably be bombarded with the usual load of "you're so immature" remarks. Sigh.

[I R Racer]

Hey tech9 - if the shoe fits...

[DeSmet Spartan]

To be perfectly honest, I don't a problem with most of the curse words that people use, but I can see where you guys are coming from. My only gripe about the language is that it is really hard to read what the person is saying in the thread when all you see is **** **** ******** ****. I think that the whole swearing thing would go away if some of these people got a vocabulary.
I also think that throwing the people off is not a really good idea. If they still have the same name, you can just ignore the thread with their name on it.
Some people won't mature no matter how hard you try. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/frown.gif
