I used to go in and change the titles, but I can only do so much.<p>Titles like:
-please read this!
-car no workie
-~~~~~~~~LOOK HERE~~~~~~~~~~~~
-mx3 issues<p>
Very irritating. It screams to me "delete this topic".

Some people dont know how to read rules.
Ive posted TONS of times about it, as well as putting it in all caps. Im to the point where I just want to delete the post completley and leave the queston unanswered, but id never do it. I usually just edit it, and send a personal Message.

my personal favorites are the ones that are like:
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or
READ THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they act like the world is coming to and end but usually just want to know where they can get a strut tower bar or something.

Ok good im glad im not the only one who feels this way...and regardless how big the problem is, there is always a way to sum up the problem in a few words...instead of "please help", someone could say "idle problem.."if its something to do with the idle....its that simple..

You guys seem to be forgetting threads started by people who don't own and MX-3. Those bother me far more than any others. When they say, "Emergency" "MX-3 Troubles", and then ask how much insurance will be for the MX-3 they may be getting.

I brought this up since this is the off-topic section and it seems like there is quite a few who feel the same way...if you dont want to read it you can always go to the other forums.

Personally I think this is bogus. I have been watching the decline of traffic on the board for a while. If you all can see, it's gone down drastically. I think that a big part of it has to do with the ammount of trash talking going around. I know that one of the things that drew me to this site was the way everyone got along. When I first got here (long before I registered) if someone posted something incorrect, they were corrected in a sane and civil manner. Now if you come away with your head still attached you're a lucky one. Too many people have "gotten sick" of the things people do. Like someone said. If you don't like the topic. Skip it. Simple as that. People have gotten too damn uptight. I guess I just find it easier to be nice to people than others do.

Oh well, who needs tactfulness and grace anyways.

I completely agree with Ryan. It sucks when some jerk-off with a point to prove puts someone puts someone else down to make themselves look better. I think a lot of people say stuff on the board that they would never say to someone face to face. If everyone stuck to the old saying that they were taught when they were 5 of "If you don't have something nice to say don't say it at all" the board would be a much better place. I'm all for the promotion of a warmer, fuzzier bulletin board where people explicitly state the topics of their posts!

im with VizualXTC on this one. I dunno my main intrest is the car audio forum since i know a lot about the subject. i read and respont to almost all the topics. most of the people that put subjects like that need the help quickly or really do think they have done something wrong but if i am in the kinda mood where those subjects piss me off i just skip em. i like being helpful so thats what i try and do help the people cause one day i might be the one that needs help.
