If Moderators Did Their Job

[Matrix]

My two cents mean very little but...A handful of instigators has managed to dominate this site and as mentioned in the original post, has done a good job of running the good people off (people who just don't have time or care to deal with drama) . Being a post whore for the good of welcoming new people is awesome. But being a post whore because half your posts are argumentative is a waste. Take your drama somewhere else.

I think you could look at it that way but I also think that there are people on here that have stepped up and tried to take over for the lack of structure around here.

Hypothetical questions
Think about it like this: How much do you enjoy the CSC? If its less than a 6 out of 10 then my guess is you could really care less about the condition of this place and whats going on. In other words it could be gone tomorrow and you wouldnt think anything of it. I think thats fair to say.

What if its an 8+. What if you do care about this place? What if you contribute financially to see it succeed? What if you are tired of the same few people getting involved in every conversation that admittedly shit on things just to get or keep threads going? Would you even be willing to make yourself look foolish to try and change things or run them off?

Im sure the way people feel about me on here (that dont personally know me) is mixed but thats because im more than happy to go heads up with anyone thats not here to be at least civil and respectful. The more anyone contributes here, the more valuable they are to its positive existence. There are not Mods stopping things. I personally feel that if no one else is going to say or do something about it, I will.

So, am I part of the problem? Maybe. Maybe. But im not just going to sit back and watch this place be disrespected.

Unless maybe I am wrong? Im not against anyone telling me what they think about the way I act on here. If its to better this place, then again, im down to do it.

Hey no troll. None. Ligit bro. You think I have made it around here for ten years because I abuse things? You think I have been here for ten years because I hate everything and everyone? You think I have lasted ten years because there has never been mods?

Sit back and soak that in for a second. I know I can be abrasive. I know sometimes I take things too far. I don't mean to but honestly. 100% honestly bro do something for me. Take some time and go read the so called shit threads. Maybe I made a somewhat comment that wasn't liked by someone. Go look at the response to that comment and see where things go.

Perfect example and sorry joker I'm not trying to start drama I'm just using this as an example. "There's an idea".

What followed that? " I thought you bitchquit last week". And there we go from there.

Another example bro.. And please don't take this to heart. This isn't trolling I promise. For sure. Just open discussion. Bulldog made a comment that made you a little upset. That lead to some angry PMS. That lead to me being told about the riding townie joke.

How did you honestly think that was going to go down WHEN I found out? But I have to give it to you. that was a very creative troll but at the end of the day it didn't make you any better than me. Just helped add to the problem that you and some others were complaining about.

No one involved in the shit flinging the last couple of weeks is innocent. None of us.

But to claim that I do nothing but post bullshit or flame wars is very wrong. I don't mess with riding threads. I don't mess with hangouts. I never have.

Maybe after its over and some drama I will drop a two cents on it. But honestly its not like this site has been known for its acceptance of riders. Look at the stunt section. As soon as someone posts something stunt related they dubbed a squid or bullied off the site.

Actually if its not track related they are hammered fairly hard. And that's not by me.

Look at the how to save the track thread. Are you guys going to blame that little drama on me? Fact is we are all passionate about what we like.

I live wheelies and I will explain why. Tell me I'm not a rider after this.

To me a wheelie long high speed wheelie is peace on earth. When I hit that one mile mark and I'm just rocking the smoothest wheelie there is nothing else in the world. No drama. No nothing. Just me that wheelie and the road. The him of the bike and sound of rushing air around my lid. Just amazing. It is my peace on earth.

But because I don't ride at the track or full gear all the time I'm a squid, poser or loser. I don't deserve to breathe the same air as the track gods.

There is no one problem with this forum. Actually in don't think there is a problem with the forum. After doing some searching it seems that forums are having issues all over. Seems social media has kind of stepped in to help do that.

As was said earlier this week the CSC Facebook page is hopping. But that's okay. Nothing wrong with that.

I would also like to point out that there was a lot of complaints from a lot of people about not enough sport bike content but they have very few threads started in recent YEARS.

No one is stopping anyone from pasting something they think should be posted. Yes in post a lot. Sorry I work the Oakland ports. Not sure if anyone has watched the news lately but those dock workers have given us truckers a lot of time to play with. Lol.


Anyways I try to post all kids of things that I think will stimulate a conversation. I have only posted one personal issues in as long as I can remember. The whole domestic thing.

Besides that I truly try to just find things to talk about. Things that maybe we should talk about besides bikes. I'm sorry I don't watch motogp. Bikes haven't changed much in the last four or five years. No new amazing mods.

Not a whole lot to talk about unless you watch motogp and are watching who beat who. I'm sorry I find that boring and I know many others do as well.

So really guys for all those complaining about not enough sport bike threads..... Make one. No one is stopping you. I know it kind of sucks to post something that you think everyone will love and no one even posts a response.

That's kind of how it works. I have posted everything from emotional to just really cool.

Go for it. Just post. Create new threads. Talk. Ignore negative posts. Grow some thicker skin.


I will end this with a wide thank you. Ezzzy thank you for ending the riding townie thing. That was an amazing troll. I give that to you. It really bothered me and took me everything to not post about that today.

So ligit bro thank you. Have a good weekend.

What this is, is a good example of you adding no value to a conversation. And, since I don't read all of the posts on here, I thought you did quit the previous week. It's always nice to see you post up pictures and movies of riding and I admit I have enjoyed some of them. However, it is this exact type of thing you did in my thread that makes a lot of people turned off by you. No, you did not post the comment to which you were also replying, but not only was that first comment unhelpful and inaccurate, yours was also in no way helpful. This begs the question, why talk at all if the only thing you have to say is unhelpful, inflammatory or derogatory?

What happened to the brotherhood of bikers? Helping each other so we can have the best experience out there safely? Deriding someones thread for trying to fix their bike is childish and super dickish. None of that surprises me from you, but again, that is why I see no use in 99.99% of your posts. That also doesn't mean you can't change the way you act. I imagine you have a lot of actual knowledge behind all the dickishness and sarcasm. I would challenge you to use that knowledge to help people on here and not in an attempt to make them feel bad.

You want honesty? Quit being an unrelenting asshole and people will deal with you better. Quit responding to everyone with huge posts about how you were wronged. Goddamn some of those are long.

My 2 cents.
