Why is this allowed?

The moderation has been lax, seems like.
On the one hand it is a good sign, being sort of democratic about things.


But there have been a few times, where we get one of these grammar chieftons complaining, and it turns out the poster IS from some country nobody ever heard of, and that is quite embarrassing.

Then on the other hand there are some good running jokes
This guy spencerFV's posts tend to be like a big long rambling run-on sentence, and people kept telling him to use more periods.

SO
Now at the end of every post he puts like 50 periods in a row
It looks like some kind of sig line, but it ain't
hahahaha
nobody asking for more periods anymore!
Brilliant!
That guys awright with me

The moderators do their best. I've seen a lot of posts deleted and threads locked. Even had one of my posts deleted. I could take it as them picking on me personally but I know they have no idea who I am. That's the thing about the internet, it's not personal. It has it's advantages and its pit falls. As we say on the gamer side, don't feed the trolls.

Don't git me wrong,, I'm not blaming the mods! thy do A damn good job of keeping this place up and running as smoothly as possible. This site has A lot going on. I'm blaming the VW community!! If some one post 1000 words with zero periods, Pleas let them know there post is hard to read.. I have PM-ed guys in the past and told them
"I cant spell for shit! and your post was very hard for me to understand, you might try to make you question more clear if your going to get any replies"

BUT:
"you would be much better off if you spoke eeengorhish, so some people could understand what the eff you are talking about"
In A open forum with 1000's of readers! is that really necessary? No its not!

I'm responding to this thread before it gets locked down.

[modok]

I say
lets welcome all foreigners, criminals, semi-illiterates, Nazis, racists, and boy racers alike, to participate in the debate and exchange of info about VW related stuff.
We can all relate having a common and universal subject


If you don't like some particular kind of people, it's really not relevant.
And it's fine, as long as your not RUDE about it.

Did anyone hit

?

BTW... not every post is read and the mods do have lives outside of the Samba.

Just as law enforcement can't prevent everything and rely on the public for assistance with the "see something, say something" campaign, so does the Samba need the help of it's members in policing what's posted.

if you see something that violates the rules and is abusive, hit

or PM a moderator.

To Quote myself:
"I'm not blaming the mods! thy do A damn good job of keeping this place up and running as smoothly as possible. This site has A lot going on. I'm blaming the VW community!!"

We all come to this site to learn, and share knowledge, We all have A common love for VW's. Why cant we all show A little respect for the guy that might pull over to give us A hand some day

If you cant read someones post, Move on..
Or send them A PM and let them know Its hard to read.
pointing, laughing, and calling names in front of 1000's of people isn't the way to do it...

The larger the site, the wider the range of people who think, speak, type, behave differently than you do, and TheSamba.com is a very large site.

Glenn put it well. If you hit the "report button", we will review the post. You are not bothering us, you are helping. That is the only way to guarantee we see it since it would be impossible to read every post, check every ad, every gallery photo, etc. Only the administrators (Everett and me) see the reports and their accompanying comments, moderators do not.

It is a fact of modern life that some people are rude on the internet, but it is also difficult to determine sarcasm or humor at times. My advice would still be to hit "report" if you are bothered by something.

I'm going to lock this now since Everett prefers to be contacted by private email with complaints about site issues.
