^^I think this is what you meant.
For a company that comes out with some good products, their boards are so anal. I'm surprised anyone goes there. I got banned once because I asked a asked a question somebodies hellfire. The ban was for 2 infractions, 1st because it was a non-traxxas product, the 2nd offense was because I used a curse word. Its not cursing if you are stating the name of a marketed product.
Oh well. |
Nic Case's World Record vehicle is amazing, but really had nothing to do with Traxxas. The video was certainly in conflict with the Rules written by corporate. FWIW, thankfully neither "crap" (I guess that was a while ago, BrianG) nor "hellfire" are filtered any longer. It must've been really hard to get banned because of only two infractions. Were you an
?
Anyway, surely you have Rules here too? (Rhetorical question.) They are simply different there. We have a few thousand different types of butter here in the USA. Surely there is room for a couple/few different styles of forum moderation. You guys are in large part self-policing. Can you see that working for the Traxxas forums?
I get that an AWFUL LOT of you may be what you consider "past buying a Traxxas," but consider that whole new market may be opening up due to this car. New people, new members here, new RC products in general, new RC companies opening up. Even if all the above are "strengthened" instead of "new," isn't that a good thing for all concerned?
