I'm a 15 year old carnut from Norway, as some of you might know, by now. I've been here for the past 6 months, and I must say, I really love these forums. Why?
The mods
They can be very bad. What do users often think of mods? The usual nazi-Hitler-mods, that close/delete posts without reasons, ban people because the people ask questions about the mods, etc.
Yes, nobody will force you to be on a forum. But, it takes an awful lot of time to make a new forum, get the members in, get the trust, etc. You can say mods can be dictators. Like if GTPlanet is the biggest Gran Turismo community, the mods have got trust, and the people follows them. The mods could do nazi moves, indeed. Do they here? No. They are friendly, they know what they're talking about and they show interest for the forums.
The users
Flaming. Spamming. In some forums, this very post would get flamed by people calling it spamming. I doubt it will happen here, though. The members on these forums are helpful, tolerant and nice. They comment on good posts and on bad posts. And most importantly, they give constructive criticism, which is very important for each and every one of us. The best way to see that are the galleries. Quality pictures, quality posts (by the way, that reminds me of that smart "Quality Posts" system you've got), skills to kill!
To sum up the users in one word: Incredible!
I'm on a few different forums, also mod on one, and this is probably the best forum I'm a user on (not a mod)! The very best!
With this post, I would just like to say, thank you to the mods/admins, and thank you to the users - for making the best forum I've seen so far! I was feared I would get flamed the first times I posted here, but I haven't seen a flame so far!
Btw; Some could maybe use the search function a bit more, but show me the forum with 88200 users that is perfect. The bigger, the more difficult to keep control. But, it's an incredibly clear layout here, with good sorted out sub-forums and forums.
Cheers!! You deserve it! 👍
