    What's Up With The Moderators On Here?

    I feel like I'm being treated like a 12 year old on this site sometimes? Anyone else?

    They move "Post Of The Year" to a belittling category named "Romper Room." A gem of a post from BlackCrow on how to download a free police scanner to your Blackberry! If this isn't general motorcycle discussion, I don't know what is, as it's the talk of every Timmies right now that I've visited since it was posted!

    Yet they leave " Ohh the 70's how I envy thee" in "General Motorcycle Discussion" for two weeks now!? I don't hear any talk about the 70's out on the open road!

    So, this extremely valuable post, to every rider, is moved to a belittling category called "Romper Room" from General Discussion where it belongs? Yet, talk about the 70's remains in General Discussion for two weeks now?

    I swear this site is out to p*ss off its users, and subsequently, the people that buy from the sponsors. I've heard out in my travels, that they ban at will on here. I've also heard there's a boycott of Suzuki of Newmarket in place for supporting this site which degrades SS bike riders. That's not a sign of good website to end-user relations. And doesn't bode well for Suzuki of Newmarket.

    I buy a new GSXR 1000 from Suzuki of Newmarket every year. Go ahead and ban me, or move this post, I dare you. You'll see that sponsor pulled as I pull my $16,000.00 sale they make off of me every year and take it to another dealership.

    Paul, your moderators are need of some serious education on how to "moderate!" Start treating your users like men and women, not children that need to be scolded. And a suggestion for off-topic motorcycle discussion, well, instead of berating your users with "Romper Room", why don't you re-name the category "Off Topic?"

    Would hate to become a member of the "Boycott Suzuki Of Newmarket" club, but I will. Once the word is out there, the momentum is hard to stop.

    You need to calm down man. You find "Romper Room" belittleing?

    Seems a little over the top to me man. Think of it more like an endearing term.

    wow... first, I find it hard to believe that you buy a brand new bike every year... second... even if you do, to pull business from a dealer that sponsors this site because a topic was put in the "romper room"... talk about throwing a tantrum... kinda like when a 12 year old holds their breath when they don't get what they want...

    aaand even if all that is true and you pull your business from that dealership... i think all in all that makes you look like the fool. Nobody is forcing you to be on the site... so if you don't like the way it's moderated or how the site works then don't come visit it. That choice is yours... but to be making demands about how to run the site... well, I'm sorry to say, but that choice is NOT yours

    Wow. Post number 109 was a biggie!!!!

    I find the mods are a bit heavy handed, but the issue for them is "to reduce belittling comments" made by grown adults to other grown adults. Oh...and taunting. They dont like taunting....

    I kind of agree with the OP that there were some recent threads moved that should not have been in my opinion.

    Its Too bad.

    I'm pretty sure that the so-called "boycott" you refer to is actually just because they've had nothing but bad reviews. If I hear a hundred people tell me they had a terrible experience at a shop, guess where I'm not going to be taking my business...

    I don't focus on the PO-lice when I'm riding
    and I don't focus on the moderators when I post.

    I'm sure this site, or another suzuki specific site shoud be able to fulfill your online motorcycle needs.

    To nit-pick, related to the PO-lice scanner being the topic of conversation in all the Timmies that you visit;
    the moral of the story should be:
    "it's the talk of every Timmies right now that I've visited since it was posted!"
    ~~Stop visiting so many Timmies'!!!

    "berating your users with "Romper Room"
    Really, it's free, what's the problem.

    Do you have stock options in the website, get over it?!

    I don't think your post or the minor changes you suggested do much to change the current outlook of what it is, and my reply is even more useless. Summary: we all suck, and you're a complainer, which sucks the most.
    *gasp*

    I've been here for a while. About the only thing to bother me here is some of the newer users who come here and do nothing but ***** & moan about how the run. Wah Wah Wah, it's too communist, boo i got an infraction, i was banned, watch what you say, I don't like the name of the fourms. Wah, Wah, Wah. The rest of us don't seem to have issue as we continue to use & enjoy what has been provided. I'll admit though I do get a laugh out of some of the newer people posts & the responses that ensue.

    - read the rules & obey.
    - don't like it, stop reading it.
    - use the ignore function.
    - get over yourself.

    Seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy to me. Act like a child, get treated like a child.

    Sometimes I get cranky too, so no offence intended..

    "The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites."

    That's odd.
    Better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.

    + lots

    We all did just fine on this site before you, and we'll all do just fine when you're gone.

    You are leaving right? You can't stay now that you threatened ooops promised to leave... us little children don't like being lied to.

    Buh Bye!!

    I got an infraction too once....no big deal.

    My thread was moved two days ago even though it shouldn't have been IMO....no big deal.

    Maybe the whole police scanner issue falls along the lines with the plate flipper......it's a little too taboo?

    Last I heard, S.O.N is the highest volume Suzuki M/C dealer in Ontario, if not the country. Likely S.O.N would miss you just about as much as we would.
