I recognize this is a camaro site but you moderators Are ridiculous. What do you get out of closing or deleting threads? Just wondering. Not trying to get kicked off the site.

I'm sorry you feel that way...
It isn't a power trip as you imply, it is about keeping the site friendly and family oriented... Believe me, I'm way to long in the tooth to worry about who has the "power."
Unfortunately there are people on here that start threads or add to them that do not have the ability to carry on a conversation without getting personal...
Contrary to your comments about everyone having an opinion, which is true, there is no such thing as freedom of speech on this site... It is a privately owned and operated site for the benefit of Camaro owners... and people that can appreciate it. We make and uphold the rules based on past events... not on the opinions of people that come in, make 20 posts, and then head on back to their own regular site...
It is not a Ford site, though we have some very beneficial members that own and drive Fords, nor is it a Dodge site with the same caveat....
We do have rules, feel free to read them, and we uphold the rules, for the benefit of those that care to follow them.
When the site gets out of hand, as it has lately with the release of the GT 500, which is an amazing car by the way, then we step in and clean it up... There has been a lot of lee-way given recently, but it has reached the point of being too much... therefore, we are cleaning it up...
Please note the highlighted areas below... I have taken a few minutes to highlight some of the areas we are addressing...
***** Camaro5 RULES AND TERMS OF SERVICE. Please Read Before Posting. *****
Welcome to the Camaro5.com discussion forums, a family-friendly corner of the internet for the Camaro enthusiast!
Below are some basic “house rules” we live by so you, our valued members, may continue to enjoy the website!
1)
Respect & Be Helpful — By far, the most important rule here. Generations of Camaro enthusiasts have come together through a shared passion for the car and the community (in fact, the name "Camaro" means "friend, pal, or comrade"), so the golden rule applies:
Treat others as you wish to be treated. This means no foul language, insults, or rude remarks towards other members.
We’re here as a family of Camaro enthusiasts, and we should act accordingly. And since the site is constantly gaining new members, please go out of your way to help answer others’ questions in an effort to make this an even better community. Shunning new members’ questions or rudely telling others to “search for it” is extremely discouraged.
2)
Agree to disagree —
We encourage spirited discussions where members can contribute to the forum, and we understand that not everyone will be in agreement on a particular subject. However, repeated opposing posts with disrespectful intent to ‘win’ a debate will be moderated accordingly.
3)
Off-topic forum — This should be self-explanatory.
All non-Camaro related discussions should take place in here.
4)
Suggestions — Part of the beauty of being a member here is that we value your input! If you have a thought or idea that might improve the site, post it in the Site Announcements/Suggestion Forum. We promise to do our best to
accommodate reasonable suggestions.
6) Off-Limit Discussions — There are a few topics for which we have zero tolerance policy based on past experience or simply the nature of the topic. They are:
Politics (automotive-related regulations discussions are allowed),
Religion, Pornography, Law Enforcement-Bashing, and Street Racing. Any posts of this nature will be removed without warning or notification at a moderator’s discretion.
11)
No Double Accounts — Each person is allowed to have only one single account on the site. Double accounts will result in possible suspension of all accounts.
12)
Camaro vs. — Please keep in mind that this is a Camaro forum. We like talking about cars in context of the Camaro. We respect a great number of diverse vehicles here, but what ultimately brings us together is the Camaro. If you are not here to discuss the Camaro in a respectful and polite manner, please refrain from posting.
13) Moderator Discretion — All posting activity on Camaro5.com is monitored and subject to disciplinary action based on the discretion of the admins and moderators beyond the rules specifically outlined above in an effort to serve the community at large.
