Why are MOD'S ON the other site's Such JERK's

[fest3er]

What's the likelihood that your help cut into the moderator's own sales?

I'm an admin on a technical forum. It was a friendly place when I got there some seven years ago, and is still a friendly place. Ask a question about the system and you will receive a nice, friendly response. Ask a dumb question and you'll get the same, and a poke in the ribs. Cop an attitude and you'll still get a friendly response; but maintain the attitude and you'll find your queries will eventually go unanswered. Yes, people do sometimes show up extremely--and obviously--frustrated; but they melt pretty quickly.

I can't remember the last time we banned someone. A spammer usually gets one post up before one of us deletes that user and his single post.

Some people just have an overinflated sense of their self worth.

If it'll help, here're lyrics I wrote the other day to a well-known melody (and adapted to this theme). It's a sardonic musical oxymoron: grim, depressing lyrics sung to a heartening, harmonious air.

Goin' to the forum where we're gonna be harried.
Goin' to the forum where we're gonna be harried.
We don't really like it 'cause we're gonna be harried.
Goin' to the forum with dread.

This is tough,
teachin' all this stuff.
And the mods all act like big peacocks.
We wanna quit; it's not allowed.
So we'll never be free from all these boors.

And so we're goin' to the forum where we're gonna be harried.
Goin' to the forum where we're gonna be harried.
We don't really like it 'cause we're gonna be harried.
Goin' to the forum with dread.

Egos blare
and tempers flare.
Yet we'll be here forever more.
We can't revolt; it wouldn't do.
So we'll never be free from all these boors.

And so we're goin' to the forum where we're gonna be harried.
Goin' to the forum where we're gonna be harried.
We don't really like it 'cause we're gonna be harried.
Goin' to the forum with dread.
(no no no no)
Goin' to the forum with dread.
(no no no no)
Goin' to the forum with dread.

I do not think they will be loosing membership at all. They just keep getting the newbie's and some of the younger crowd keeps telling everyone to delete delete delete the new 2013.5 and up trucks. Do they really know what they are doing? One kid stated that he paid $2750 for a full delete on a2015 truck and was proud of it.

I guess the biggest thing that ****** me off was I have helped out so much over there as I do here on the first gen stuff . and yes I had nessed up and Mentioned that I had stuff for sale not trying to sll but trying to help . and Yes I have had a couple Mod's give me Warning's and then I never did that again . and then this Garbage .and it just upset me that all they care about is themselves nothing more . but You Guy's are Right .It's Not Worth it .Their are better thing's in life to stress over Like Building the Crewcab Dually I am building right now . Now that mine is in the Body shop to get Paint .I need to Focus on that 1 .Besides that's More Fun .Oo.

I don't frequent as many forums as I used to, but this has always been, and continues to be the most civilized forum. I have only seen a couple threads get out of hand in the ten years I have been hanging out here. I arrived a newbie to CTDs and was graciously offered all sorts of help and advice. I have tried my best to help others if I had some constructive advice. I sold my '05 CTD(still miss it)via the TDR classifieds, and periodically exchange email with the new owner, who at first thought the truck was too good to be true, but found out I was legit. This place is surely an exception to the internet rule.
