Re: Forum recently in war
wow i did not know it was getting so serous.
admin... FYI your forum GOT VIRUS.
don't believe just try to google for stuff that links to this forum. whenever you click on a link from google there's some chance you will get redirected to some spam site.

Re: Forum recently in war
Yes, the forum is a place to chill out and have fun and have good BMW discussions.
All the admins want - is for members to be civil, polite and at the very least, NOT TO ANSWER if you have nothing constructive to add.
The trend recently in the past few weeks is the regular and 'old school' members are becoming extremely nasty in terms of engaging the new forum members and they're sending in their feedback to us for review.
Hey - if you can't stand their questions or find them too 'dumb' or 'smart alec', click 'Back' on your internet browser and continue on your merry way.
That's all we ask.
You were new here once.
You didn't know a lot more info before compared to what you do know today. Does that give you a 'right' to be degrading towards a new member on the forums? Is that what we're all aspiring to be? An 'elite' group that shuns away newbies?
We welcome humour, definitely welcome banter. But we do not want to create a hostile and negative environment where new forum members are afraid to start discussions - where a 'group' of seasoned members come in to bully, harass and even gang up on them.
BMW.SG is nothing without its members as you mentioned... very true.
That said - we get over 1,900 UNIQUE visitors to our forums every day. (see screen shot below) We take decisions for the welfare and majority of the community (especially those who are silent) who comes to learn from the forums every day. Unless you want them to continuously see negative posts in every thread and have this forum degrade to the point that we earn the title of 'Most horrible forum in Singapore' - then please go ahead.
But we won't allow that to happen by doing nothing.

See.. the thing is - it's difficult to always ban friends and members on the forum. Especially those who you've known for years.
I know and respect these guys in real life, especially when they're successful individuals in their own respective fields. But when things cross borders online - We have to put on our blinkers for the sake of the greater community - especially those who don't say anything.
We don't usually step in until things get bad. And yes, things got bad. To the point we had to remove personal and identifying information about a particular member due to retaliation. (seriously not funny)
We just ask of all to be civil and polite to every one. You never know who you might meet online.
You can decide to be a joker in the lounge area - we don't really bother.
But don't be an ass to the point someone decides to take it up a notch and sends the stuff you post to your spouse/partner/business associate.
If you want to bitch about a company - We can't stop you - but just remember they may sue you and that's not fun either.
Watch your language, watch your tone and be nice to members (new and old). (if you can't then just don't reply to threads that you don't want to see).

Re: Forum recently in war
It's serious that BOBBY decided to stop eating his da Lian mian to start this thread.
Serious that some mods n well respected lao jiao came out of seclusion.
Can we encourage newcomers to utilize the search function more often? Especially in the welcome PM, dun just ask them to come for meet up only but more on "search before u ask". Everyone will try to answer if no answers can be found from the searcha as everyone will be happy to learn more as we share. Perhaps if they understand about this function and the importance to do some simple search before posting, it might make the situation better?
Are we able to remove the yellow card of our all time favs? Is not easy to find people that even bother to post more than 14000 post. 无功也有劳. It's not the best comments at times, I kena when I first joined as well, haha but it's really entertaining after a while. It depends on how we look at things at times. I believe there's no perfect forum member nor moderators, shouldn't we give and take in such a big family?
Lesson learn n time to move on. No decision is perfect but improving the solution might help. Cheers cheers cheers.

Re: Forum recently in war
All is said and done, and as mentioned, we were newbies once. However, over the years, the database of knowledge has grown to an immense size and nothing that has not been encountered has not been asked. Yes, we asked WHEN there was no body of knowledge. However, over the years, IT IS ALL HERE!
why can the newbies do a simple SEARCH before being spoonfed. Gets obnoxius and the thread ultimately makes the TS look real silly, or a real strawberry.
Nuff said, if the newbies can come and cause ruckus like this, I do not see myself hanging here too long too. I was a member since ye ol days of 2003, and I HAVE SEEN THE CHANGE IN THE WAY the new ones ask.
Even in MCF, where i am MOD, strictly a SEARCH is mandated. If a duplicate thread is started, then a warning is effected.
Just my views. Can choose to ignore an old man/member/etc
Good day all

Re: Forum recently in war
Bro, strawberry generation nowadays. Remember? Maid to carry backpack, mother to wipe ass after farting, misplaced and inflated sense of self-entitlement and the egocentric illusion that the entire forum exists only to appease/support/answer their dumbfcuk questions.
Give chance lah. If our million dollar ministers can't come up with another solution to our problems other than INCREASE LEVIES, UP TAXES and the MPs are more bothered about political theatrics and arguing about AIM and FMSS as opposed to actually helping their constituents, what do you expect these bunch of lazy, self-important, in your face, KPKB-to-admin-at-the-slightest-issue newbies to do?
No need to get the proverbial knickers in a knot over them - just take a deep breath, shake your head and enjoy the long drive returning 11.5 amazing km/L to work and back. At least you got that to look forward to everyday
. Have a good Friday at work, and a better weekend ahead!

Re: Forum recently in war
Note to Admins:
- don't you think you are over protecting the newbies at the expense of the seniors?
- are seniors taken for granted since they, probably in your view, have more to lose?
I am neither a senior or newbie. Just trying to take an objective view of how the recnet issues are being handled.
Are there so many new sign-ups (and active members) everyday that you are taking them so seriously at the expense of the seniors?
Lastly, I think being too judgemental and imposing bans on such trivial "offences" are absolutely not necessary in a forum. It is a turn off, really. Everyone should learn to accomodate each other. It will take time. Why the haste?
You acted on newbies' complaints. Perhaps you should act on views on the other side of the fence now.
There are more pertinent issues that need fixing in my view:
- monthly meetups
- events
- admins' / moderators' participation
Improving face-to-face engagements will help. There is a reason why I have not attended any monthly meetups.
Also, admins and moderators should take a more active participation in the forums. If current admins are too busy, appoint someone else that could do that job. Change the admins at any point if they are not up to the task.
