storkmack Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have been an active member on this site since November 2005. When I found this site, I was amazed at how many other Mack fans there were throughout the world. The main thing here for me is that I have met a lot of knowledgeable people through this site. I need some time off from it. The constant soapbox dance of a few members has wore me down. don't get me wrong, everyone has their opinion and that's great, I just hate seeing it get hijacked on a daily basis. When there is a good thread going you are let down when you a new post from certain members, because you know its going to get drug down. More than likely, I will not be gone long. I just need a break from it because it is not enjoyable anymore. The purpose of coming here is to not be aggravated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mike69mackman Posted September 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've met and made a lot of friends on this site and have learned a lot about the best truck ever made. But I too have trouble wanting to stay on the site when we have certain people on here shouting their antiamerican liberal crap all over the place. People like that have no business on this site. Mack and the people that build them ate a very strong part of this country and people like gearheadgrrl have no business trashing those folks. Barry and his crew have spent a lot of time and effort building this site only to have asses like her force people to leave. Ill stick around but probably won't be very active. Congratulations gearheadgrrl you win again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdogtrucker Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've never used the report button(on any forum)until recently on here.This is by far the most "free" forum I belong to without mods eyes over everybodys shoulders and it runs very smoothly.I wouldn't let a troll run me off,no need for them to get their way...

Popular Post Barry Posted September 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2013 OK guys...more reports on GHG came in last night so the system was able to ban the account permanently! Sorry for the delay in action but we have to let the system do it's job to maintain equal fairness to every member. The warning system is designed to give any member a fair chance to straighten up his/her act. First warning is 12 hour suspension. Second offense is a 24 hour suspension...then it steps up to a day, week, month, year and finally permanent ban! This is only for actual posting members...spammers are permabanned instantly since they are not actual members. 4 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
