My 2 cents, as a member, not a moderator...

Who cares about the number of posts they've made, or the number that someone else has made?  Personally, I'd much rather see QUALITY, TECHNICAL posts versus the drivel that people post just to see their post count go up.   :soapbox:

So is that why you just removed the silly "do not post in this thread" thread?

Being a motorcycle technical forum, topics like "do not post..." do nothing to add to the site.  Here's a quote from the rules of posting...

Content posted on this site is intended to be motorcycle related, non motorcycle content may be removed at administrators/moderators discretion

To a large degree, I concur with keeping a lid on senseless posting and placing the emphasis on issues regarding riding, repairing, purchasing H-D motorcycles as well as information regarding get togethers, events etc. BUT, there's always a place for a bit of silliness lest we begin to take ourselves so seriously, the content of the site becomes as dry as dust and as interesting as watching paint dry. There's a time and place for everything and as a member of the site, I would hope the moderators and of course Obi-Won would see the value in comic relief from time to time. As to the subject of jacking up one's post count, I really don't believe this is as much of a reality as people think it is. Take note the next time you get together with a group of friends. Some folks like to talk a lot and listen a little. Some like to listen a lot and talk very little. Some are in the middle and some are on the extreme end of both sides. That's just human nature. The posting on this site reflects the personality of the poster. I would caution being too overbearing on this issue as (and this is just my opinion) we tend to get a fairly accurate picture of the personality of the member by their posts. This allows us to pursue a friendship or not as we see fit. Sometimes it takes awhile for a person's true nature to reveal itself. Take me for instance. EVERYONE thought I was an asshole when I joined the site - - - - - now only 1/2 of you do  :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3:

I've never seen an entire thread removed, especially one that's that's been around so long. Locked I've seen. Removed, not that I recall. Weird! That's why this board was started from what I remember. CRS? ??? :nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

Remarking on "useless' posts" as a "member"  :soapbox: (your emphasis, not mine)

and then within minutes, as a moderator, removing a thread that has been inactive for some time makes a point, a big one  :soapbox:

Having some fun here is just one of the things that make this site so great.

Think of what the site would be if only TECHNICAL, and only QUALITY at that, posts were allowed (again, your emphasis, not mine).
Suppose only CVO members were allowed on the site, and if you sold your CVO you had to drop membership?

There have been threads removed before and for valid reasons (especially the legal infringements threads) but this was not one of the valid times.

Not need to point out my misgivings Obi Wan - I know where I stand here and I fully expect you to support your mods as any good supervisor would.  :2vrolijk_21:

Someone needs to go back and re-read the survey results.  There was only a small interest in making this a more technical versus social site and responses indicated there was already a good balance between the two.  So, not sure why the interest in whacking one stupid thread . . . and leaving "Cat vomit . . .," for instance. :confused5:

If it had been inactive for some time I would have left them alone.  Both topics had people still posting to them this morning.  The moderators are receiving more and more complaints about "useless" posts and being asked to do something about them.  In most cases, but not all, the "Off Topic" threads are where the conflicts arise as well...

Sorry Mods for the extra effort you get because people complain to you off the site. 

On the site we complain to you as well, which is even more complaining to you, about the fact that you are acting because someone has complained to you off the site. 

No one likes complaining.
 
Seems to me though, that if someone is posting in an obviously not an informative thread, one could be left alone to be as silly as they want to be as long as they are not offending anyone.
 
So, those of you complaining behind the scenes, Just Stay Out of the Off Topic thread. 

Easy, right?

I'd have thought so. 

I hate all my spam email in my inbox too, but complaining does not help me to just not read them and just delete them.  I'd like to ask everyone to just get along and not complain to the moderators so they don't have to be the bad guys that they are not.

There are television channels that have shows that I don't care to watch.  I'm either not interested or maybe they could offend me.  I don't complain to my satellite television company, I just don't tune in to those channels ;)
