State of affairs here at ARFCOM

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - State of affairs here at ARFCOM (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 1/10/2005 8:03:01 PM EDT

First off, this is NOT a flame war. I am NOT here to bash mods, staff, team members or members.

It seems (esspecially in the AZ forum) that some members are not happy with the attitude of certain Mods/Staff. After reading some of the threads I see alot of arguing between the people and its rulers.

My question is can we bring our concerns HERE and voice them? Can we possably come up with some sort of agreement to solve these problems? Seems to me that many people are very annoyed with they way things are being run. Is it only certain mods/staff that your mad at? Whats the real deal? I certainly DO NOT want ARFCOM to loose members but it seems aparent that members feel things need to change.

What is your take on the issue?

I voted "OK".

When you get this many people packed into this small an area, bad things will just naturally occur.

I tend to think favoritism, or a clique exist here and, that freedom of speech doesn't apply. Or is that what 'The Pit' is for?

However, since I'm a free loader my opinions don't count.

I doubt they are going to give up the business because staff said they cant use ONE word on the site.

Im sorry, somethings are worth fighting for. Somethings are worth causing yourself hardship and loss over. THIS AINT ONE OF THEM.

Lumpy, you really need to understand this isnt about one word.. And hasnt been for awhile now. No one has used the forbidden word since Ed. layed down the law.

My other votwe -> I don't know what normal arfcom is so, I assume this is how it always has been.

I think ARFCOM is trying to make everyone walk on PC eggshells.

YMMV.

Everytime these 'issues' come up I'm usually at a complete loss.

I usually am completely unaware of the problem being referrenced.

Can we just go back to talking about guns, boobies and Al Pachino's gun?

Can we just return to the topics about the USS Liberty, Evolution and AKs vs. ARs?

We've been doing fine for years, we are gonna be ok if things are just left alone already.

We really are big boys, we can handle our mess.

Over a word? Anyone got a link?

I voted goign downhill, but maybe I am still pissed because my thread about Zombies got locked

though the general feelign of this site has changed since I first started lurking a couple years ago

This site is indeed going to hell in a handbasket. The owners are to blame for trying to make it TOO PC. The moderators are to blame for being TOO NIT PICKY. The members are to blame for being PIG HEADED!
Thank god you fuckers haven't found the Oh. forum yet. There is still one place on this site that is "asshole free"

Nice spin. Aimless LOCKED gerryowen's account. "give up the business"? This is just one advertising outlet. From what I've read on this board, most people here google the item they're looking for and buy the cheapest. Don't worry though, you still have Tommy!

The greatest asset of AR15.com is information. Good or bad. It is the greatest consumer advocate in the gun culture. Without AR15.com the world wouldnt know Botach is evil. However paid advertising, and friendships, have clouded what should be unbiased moderators allowing the free and open exchange of information.
