Behaviour Thread

FLOUNCE is when a member leaves for good. It is actually a sad day and weakens the community as a whole.

A Plea for Help by eTiMaGo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think most of you can agree that this place has just not been the same since the hack. I know that I, for one, had lost heart in my moderating duties and we let of a lot of antisocial behavior happen.

So, this is why I want help from all members to make YarisWorld as good as it can be, a friendly place you can come to for the following reasons:

1) Learn about your car, whether you are a new owner or one of the first
2) Read about other people's cars, their experiences, their modifications
3) Relax and have some fun, that's what we have the off-topic section for.

That means we all have to respect ourselves and each other. Just like we all learned many years ago, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. You know who you are that I am talking to We have a lot of good, knowledgeable members leaving because they are tired of this childish behavior.

And everyone else, if you see someone acting like an ass, report it, don't go and add fuel to the fire. It's our job as moderators to take care of this.

Ladies and gentlmen I agree with Thomas on his request. This morning I read a very disturbing comment left by kurokoma-kun who was offended by the language and locker room attitudes. I consider her leaving a greater loss than a member having an accident.

The off topic section is a fun place but slowly it has gone fully R rated to worse.

Consider these suggestions:

Would you want your Mother, Sister, Daughter, Girlfriend to read some of the language?

A single picture post of a woman in the hottie thread is good but lately it appears to be a contest to see who can post every topless girl in their hemisphere. We know pretty ladies are out there.

The adult banter is fine but we (myself included) need to retrurn to where we were "pre-hack".

Take a look at your signatures....... let's clean it up a bit.

Read Tom's request.
Give out the Yarisworld cards.
Let's build this place up again.
