not taking anything away from the current, new mods however; i think it goes w/o saying that there are other yw members that have been around longer and are more yaris knowledgable that could have been promoted in place of those demoted...

True enough, but as that was not the case we should look to the future and see where it takes us.

I'm sure you're right, but it doesn't take a car expert to delete spam threads.

People come and go, you never know what might happen in the future.

Mod's should be those who can actively change a website, edit bad posts, fix problems, and take out spammers.

Mod's should not be "knowledgeable" people in my opinion. What would be the point to give the ones that know most, a bigger ego?

Never seen a website run right, by only promoting those who know everything. Those people can not always do the best job. (this is not a graphics design website or a game website so can't compare it to that_

1st, i did say i wouldn't take anything away from the new/current mods so, there is no need to infer that i feel they are not qualified to do the job...

2nd, because it is a job, i feel like those that have been around a bit longer deserve the opportunity first, if interested...obviously, someone who has been here longer has more experience related to pre-hack info and about the forums overall...experience goes a long way...

3rd, regardless of wether or not u agree with the idea of mods being yaris knowledgable, (which i still feel is important simply because it lends itself to being able to answer questions more effectively) this has nothing to do with egos because anyone can catch an ego...knowledgable or not...

at the end of the day, i show full support to the current mods but, still feel as i do about the above...

Lafiro, you just put your finger on it.

Not that it isn't an honor, but it's also a job.

We can't exactly "actively change the site" though, and I believe that limitation was the source of the frustration for guys like Thomas for instance, who did love the site and put a lot of effort into it but felt their hands were tied.

Oh, don't take what I said in a bad way, I have nothing against any mod's previous or current.

I still see them the same as other posters.

I just wouldnt want to see any more knowledgeable mods remove a post, even mine like before, without any concent, knowledge, or discussion first.

Thats the only problem I have with people having too much power.
