f7ben Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I've been thinking about this and maybe its not such a bad plan .......maybe we should put it to a vote...just for CE Edited May 25, 2017 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My .02 I think it should be left up to a vote of CM's here .....if CKF approves of that. Again , just for the CE portion of the site. It may hinder slightly the random guy joining because he was trolling and decided to post but probably not too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted May 25, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 25, 2017 Or add a rule outlawing the big bad "N" word and keep the forum open. Give a timeout or permanent boot to who break it. Depends on what you guys don't want the general public to see I guess but I figured the openly racist posts are part of the reason this is brought up again.

Well, not needlessly drawing outside attention from a SJW or the like would be a good idea. But when you're an anonymous troll like a few here I guess it doesn't really matter.

Someone googled "f7ben" the other day and was laughing about the shit that came up. There was tons of fucked up shit that had nothing to do with me that came up because of the bots and shit that is posted on open forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Isn't everything in the CE though? What's left if the CE gets closed to outsiders? What will draw new people in? I see the point but there is growth and revenue involved. Maybe go up on CM registrations to help? Hey..nothing wrong with private forum if that's what is agreed on...and of course, ownership can achieve their goals, which, needs to be addressed first. These forums aren't free to run...and they take some time to manage. I'm not opposed to going private...but don't care. My .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I see what you are saying. My point was when you "close" it to outsiders, there is no way for them to see any content. And I don't think there is a way to even know this place exists. Separating it out would makes sense I guess but we need to have enough content (members) to still draw new eyes. Maybe have a closed shit-show for CM's only? But again...what else would that leave? I don't know. Like I said, I see benefits to doing both. It really needs to make sense for ownership though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty well known to exist over on the other sites Actually, that is kinda how it happens. Somebody is searching something and the site comes up. What happens after that is up to them but at least they were exposed. Or, should I say infected? Not arguing to argue...just making a case for the other side too. Fact is, if you make it private, nobody knows it's here. Shit...even TBP....I had no idea at all how to get to it...in fact, google didn't even pull it up if I remember right. Somebody here had to give me a link to finally get on...and of course, I had to sign up to view. Hey...I'm for it...or really don't care one way or another. It's up to management.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted May 25, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted May 25, 2017 Can this filter be applied to Momorider and Momorider alone?

I am for that also. I think this place is a bit short on rules for what it is. But that's not up to me...and I play along here like everyone else. I don't know. It'd really be nice to start building more of a sledding forum I guess. Maybe if we can attract more of those? Problem is...I think that was a seperate forum but it all get's burried so far beneath the CE shit-show...that none of it comes up. I think we all go to "activity" to see what is going on. Shit....I don't know. I'm all for making this place better. But I don't have any skin in the game...and that makes the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
