No theyre probably adults but going of the content of the posts they have the mental age of someone who should be back at school next month

 

Scooby net rocks..... but too much kerfuffle about religion IMHO........

Ban all angry members........(you know who you are)...... and let the GOOD TIMES ROOOOOOOOOOLL..........

 

LOL, stop shouting

Not at all, but the crap seems to have been spouted during the summer holidays, maybe they're all teachers?

 

there are not multiple threads a day about IVF, gays or unemployment for a start. So a little bit of sense is required when deleting the threads would be in order. You only have to read these threads mentioned above, the worst you get in there is the trolls. no real hatred going on.

Then we come to the RACE and RELIGION threads, people like Rabid posting, this was causing major issues, issues that just should not be associated with a car disscussion forum FFS. These threads should be erased, and the reason for which is simple, they are causing un due harrasment for the majority of members. Most of which will not post, but might i suggest, many will consider leaving, going to other sites such as .org...... SN has far to many people that have little or zero interest in motors, may i suggest this, f*** off back to where ever it is you came from, because many of which dont, havent and are never likely to own a subaru, they are coming on here to read threads like the crap posted over the last few weeks and TBH, its pathetic



These threads never turn into race hate threads and all usualy settles down with in a day or so, they hardly ever turn into multiple threads over the corse of a few weeks. When they do get out of hand, they quite often end up deleted, i know, i have been involved in a few before

The fact that most seem unable to spell adds weight to that theory........

 

Thanks Sammy Who'd be a Mod, eh?

I'm sure things will calm down now, so please don't start a Politics forum just yet. And frankly I'm not that interested in politics generally, but Topical Affairs, yes. Aren't we all?

Cheers,

Richard.

 

Sorry - Newbie here - what does CWE stand for?

Could whatever new forum is opened include cat (of whatever religious persuasion) threads as well please?

 

Im glad you asked Dave, i didnt want to feel stupid

 

Cute Woodland Elves........... or Current World Events.......

 

John, ScoobyNet hasn't been a purely car forum for many years as you must know. And that, for many, is its appeal. I still have a Scoob, but I don't visit the technical forums so much now because it always ends up costing me money and I've spent way too much already. I still keep an eye on stuff, though

Take away the non-Scooby owners and the membership would plummet. We'd lose a lot of good contributors, too. There are a very large number of ex-Scooby owners who still hang around here because they like the community. That's a fact.

From Sammy's comments, I think ScoobyNet will get it right. I was just worried for a minute that just because things get heating in a political hot-potato kind of way, the threads were going to get vaped.

One of the things I value most of all about ScoobyNet is its open policy on free speech and the generally very refreshing non-PC nature of many posters. All too rare these days.

Long may it thrive.

Richard.

 

Those of us of a certain age don't mind feeling stupid

Remembered now and seem to recall we had this some time back. No one will actually bother to use it though....... Sadly the NSR forum has become the default for bored schoolboys with brains uncluttered by knowledge....... dl

 

And old farts whose brains are cluttered with knowledge making them unable to remember CWE.........

 

Lighten up Dave And isn't there a contradiction in your post? Doesn't stupid = brains uncluttered by knowledge?

And I might also point out that your are posting in NSR

Richard.

PS BTW, agree on your opening line.

 

dont get me wrong, if i was here purely for the car crack, i would never have seen this post.

i wasnt in anyway arguing with you either. Im sipmly stating that these threads need to be deleted as this is a car forum primarily (sp)and from that comes a community, of past, present and future owners of subarus.

its the people joining up and stirring the evergroing problem in this country of racial hate, whether those be black or white, it doesnt matter, it has no place on this BBS and it never should either


john

 

Damn!!! pissed you off again

'note to self, think before posting'

 

If there is real evidence that ScoobyNet is attracting newbies with a purely political agenda then, I agree, we have a problem. I tend to assume that most newbies are actually oldies who, for whatever reason, wish to post on certain subjects under a different username. I think that's okay(ish). If I'm wrong, Webby will know and, on past record, will act accordingly. There is a lot of assumption about who is actually behind these new usernames - I was accused of being Snug Rhino the other day

Then again, the likes of 'moses' have been around a long time. And there's our resident stirrer, pslewis, not to mention a whole raft of long-term members who contribute 90% positively but occasionally get drawn into 'difficult' areas. I guess that probably includes me

Richard

 

If it was purely a car forum why not remove NSR altogether? If it was purely Subaru talk,why have the other marques section? Vape them both.

I love cars.I happen to like all cars/talk about them though.Also I also see nothing wrong with people discussing current affairs of which religion etc is a huge part.Coupled with the fact there are some very decent posters whose stuff I enjoy reading.

Surely Scooby people don't wake up and think 'scooby',have lunch and think 'scooby',bonk the wife and think 'scooby scooby scooby'?

I credit Scoobynet with having some intelligent people that don't just dream of Gold wheels and stickers.Otherwise you would be a nutter and should be banned

 

I don't think they have time for lunch.........

 

Not when you're bonking somebody else's wife...
