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? |
There is a reason many of us don't visit or post on the traxxas forums. Let the special kids play in their own sandbox. I prefer the world. The gripe is not against Traxxas' products, but against its hard nose by the stone tablet rule mentality. Its simply not possible to have a discussion there at all for or against a competing traxxas product, even if all of the participating members are respectful and its a true debate the discussion will still get canned and members will receive infractions.
I simply choose to stay out of that sandbox and let them play in their own world.
