Jay Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 OK, so I joined this Nissan forum to ask a question on where I can get something for my new car, and the first reply I get, they guys gets really snotty and says "Sup buddy, so b4 u post a newbie question, make sure u try searching with key words in "threads" and "posts". Also nothing will ever match as good as oem, plain and simple. also try google/ebay and more than likely something will come up. ....take it from here, and search b4 u make others do ur work." Is that rude, or what? Are all car forums like that?? Thank god that's not how we reply to each other!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah I replied that I was simply asking for advice but if this is how it's going to be on this forum I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Sort of discounts the purpose of the forum. I will tell you Jason, there are some other Husky forums that must read from the same play book as that Nissan forum. I am thankful that this forum is not like that.

Andy Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've been a member of various car forums due to owning MANY different types of cars over the last few years. Citroens, Peugeots, Jeeps, and others All those forums were like ours friendly, helpful and understanding of newbies and people with little or no car experience. However, dog forums especially German shepherd forums have been nasty places to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I belong to a Subaru forum, and they are always very friendly and helpful when I have questions. Other husky forums on the other hand...erm....leave a lot to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Doyle Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Im on a beauty forum and although some can be very helpful and friendly some can be very b****y. There have been numbers of threads closed. I have been told that they simply cannot read my thread because it is a huge sentance with no full stops, Which i didnt mind but thought im sure u can still read it. Some think they are above others ect. I have not made one friend of thé forum itself and Ive been on it longer than this. However some people have started to create their own secret fb groups and post their punks because thé subject could be off topic eg. Kids theres a lot of Kids haters on there, and it is a lot more intimate and kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Doyle Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Also there is no chat area on thé forum. I personally think thé chat area makes this forum, as ye all know im a big chat person. I just think Its more intimate Your talking to people one on one and getting to know them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 If I'd of been Admin on that forum i'd of sacked any member of staff for that or warned any member that came out with it, its one of my pet hates and yes it does happen on a lot of forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 As a newbie, how are you supposed to know the question you're asking is a newbie question or not? Everyone has to start somewhere. Instead you should feel privileged that this person has decided that you are his starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Not very polite of them, what did you reply with? Hopefully with some handy tips on how to run a forum, sounds like they could do with them, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Depends on the kind of forum you run. You will get some (like us) who encourage as much conversation and posting as possible and encourage people to ask questions, however you will also get others who are trying as much as possible to promote only good quality posts and nothing else without duplication wherever possible. The reason for this is it depends on whether your forum is for fun or revenue. If its for revenue then the latter is actually better with regards to having relevant content and therefore will likely be indexed higher for the keywords that you want, and therefore you attract higher paying sponsors. Of course once you get to a certain size, it shouldnt matter however some morons dont understand that LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carly Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well that is just plain rude.....I think I'd have told him what he could do with his "welcome" and cancelled my account! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
