Sucks for someone like me that sometimes takes motivational steam from 'likes'. I don't create cool enough stuff to garner many replies and I don't have enough tech knowledge to feel as if I'm a very valuable member here. Yeah I understand both sides but killing it isn't going to spark traffic nor tech. Even though all the newer guys like me may not bring much to the table, the 'likes' have been many times a sign that I was on the right track and gave me incentive to keep going. This will hurt a lot of new guys when a 'like' is all they really need in order to know that they're doing something safely or correctly. In a lot of instances they won't get a reply so why should they hang around?

For cereal though. It’s not about externally validating self worth. It’s about supporting without needing to reply. Durok has a great post tonight about fondling 1/10 off-road tires whilst drooling. Not really any good way to reply to that but I appreciated the comment. I could go for the lazy LOL reply but I’d rather give the guy a lazy Like instead and not clog up the thread. Quote:

Unless rules get changed around to suit Mikes likings, threads get cleaned up by MOD personell, and people stick around/ come back... This forum is not going to change for the better. With THX_138 being knocked down to a gold star and getting his duties reduced to the classifieds section only, this forum will need more Mods and regulation. As of right now, imho.. The rules just got loose as hell with no "iron fist" to clean up loose threads and rusty sections. WHITE TRASH should be a MOD. He hardly gets out of his tractor anyway. He is a forum VET here and knows his way around. Also is on here regularly. There was a few words put in for me to be a MOD to both Jason and badger. With me coming from a military background, I enforce rules no matter what they are. Imho.. Since i paid for my subscription, i should have the ability to come to a moderator or admin with an issue i see on the forum. Im not paying to just be able to sell my product. That should go without saying. Im also paying for the rules to be EQUALLY enforced to everybody on this forum. If this post gets me a time out, banhammer, or my vendor status ripped from me.. So be it. Till then, goodnight. Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk |

A 'f**k you' button is guaranteed to increase interaction.

I have a question. Since the "like" button is gone I would assume there is going to be an increase in the classic one liner "sweet rig" posts. So with that being the case how do you tell who is sincere about it and who is trying to get their post count up so they can see the classifieds section? Obviously those that have been here a while and have more posts are not looking to get into the classifieds section but legit newbies not trying to get into the classifieds now could get their post counts reset in error.

Guess youll have to kick it 'old skool' and go by replies and views Quote:
There are a lot of things that will be in the works in the next few weeks. The things you have mentioned are things I have touched on with John/Badger as stated above, the like button is a trail program..John has the ability to see stats so we will know for sure of its helpful or hurtful Quote:
This forum and many threads survived for YEARS without the like button, post what you got and the replies will come. Quote:
And then.... NO AND THEN Quote:
^This Quote:
Its not clogging up a thread when traffic is way down, we have a lot of work to do to get this place back up to par. As it becomes a well oiled machine again, adjustments can be made. Quote:
Again...its a pilot program to see if it hurts or helps the site Quote:
Firstly, RCC appreciates your support as both vendor and military person. While I am not military I am an Internal Affairs Investigator for my Sheriffs office here, so I am very familiar with following rules and enforcing them. However, not everything is black and white, and everyone needs to work together to move this place forward. Going forward threads, especially expired vendor stuff, will get cleaned up...Its not going to happen over night and your going to have to have some patient. Your vendor star does not entitle to you to mod or admin duties (see attached photo) I dont know why you think you'd be banned over your comment but there are bigger things in the works and last thing I am trying to do is turn people away. Changes are coming, they arent going to happen overnight, I am gonna need moderators to assist here, I will be discussing that with Badger over the next few weeks to see who would be a good fit. With all that said, its not MY forum... Jason and John own it and ultimately set fourth the policies and procedures for here. My powers were bumped up so that I can take additional action if need be. Quote:
Not gonna happen... I laughed... Quote:
Honestly, at this point and where the forum is at, I am not against people posting "cool truck" "sweet rig" "dig it bro" etc... ive been here long enough to see how the forum is in its current condition and I dont think those type of posts are gonna hurt it at the moment. Also, the classifieds arent booming like they used. In the past, if we thought people were padding their post count it was on us moderators to take action. In speaking with John/Badger there are updates for Vbulletin that would allow the classifieds to operate smoother without tasking the mods to do everything. Again, this is all stuff thats being looked into going forward Last edited by 1BadJeepBruiser; 03-12-2019 at 06:28 AM. | ||||||||||

| Re: "Like" Button Um this has nothing to do with this topic, but I tried to send a PM via Tapatalk and it won't do anything, I then tried to send you a PM about it and nothing happens when you click on message, this probably has nothing to do with the forum and I don't know if you can do anything but just making you aware. Thanks

If this is how you feel about it Mike, it shows me you can't slow down and read, and or understand what I typed, or dont really care about issues of the forum. Se photos attached below. Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk |

Without the like button, we are now all encouraged to work on our vocabulary. This should help everyone: I will start by saying I rejoice in this thread. |

My apologies, I misread what you wrote originally. Naturally, if there is an issue you can hit the report post button or send me a PM To say I don't care is a bit of stretch, but for some reason, I feel like you have some underlying issues with me after your PMs from yesterday. Is what it is, I'm doing the best I can... | |

For what its worth, a lot has happened here in the last few days, much of which 99.9% of the members here don't realize... I, like most of everyone else, have a job, personal life etc...however, anyone that knows me on a personal level knows my passion for RCs and how I feel about this forum... So again, doing the best I can... |
