I'm gonna start off by saying how much I appreciate this forum.....and I wanna tip my hat to @Gentleman and to our admin @exCanuck
These guys are the two that make the place possible. I just herd the cats. And......I don't always do that well. Much depends upon my mood. LOL
Some of you may have noticed that we have a couple of new moderators. The Builder's Review forum is moderated by @Definitive Dave, and the Safety Section is moderated by @David Young. These guys also have the ability to moderate the rest of the forum.....remove spam.....etc.
Both of these sections are setup in a way that all posts must be approved before they are posted. The Builder's Review section for obvious reasons, and the Safety Section for another reason. In that area we were hoping to encourage more people to share near misses and close calls. If they know that every post like that will get dog piled by the "Safety Police" they won't be inclined to post. Now I'm sure some of you have made a post in either of these areas and seen them post immediately. That simply means a mod was online that saw your post and approved it right then. I assure you Every Post Must Be Approved. There will also be times when an approved post is removed later. Sometimes we might approve a non-relevant post before we have had our coffee. It's gonna happen......we are just human.
Now.......I also wanna tip my hat to our members. A lot of you guys lived thru AS imploding, and you watch in horror thinking we might end up doing the same thing.....yet you are still here. Let me assure you, this place will not suffer that fate. Yes we have our struggles, and crazy stuff happens. But when things start going off the rails, it's you.....our members that sit things right. You can always approach me or any of our Staff and call us out. We make mistakes. We have bad days. We are over worked. We sometimes need your help. At least that is the case with me.
Now........to finally get down to the subject at hand.
We have had some suggestions from our members.
@Stump Shot suggested a Customer Review Section where builders could post about their experiences with there customers. Good.....Bad.....or even ugly I suppose.
@Marshy suggested a Section where a guy wanting say some machine work done could post a thread asking for someone to do that. Or if he was just wanting a jug ported, but would reassemble it himself. A muffler modded.....
I would like to see a Review Section for general deals. You bought a turd......here you call out the seller. Or.....you sold a good runner, and the buyer is a macaroon that's making you cray cray.
I'd like to ask Steve, and Wade to chime in on their ideas......
This would also be a great place for any and all members to ask about....well, anything.
