Instead of locking valid threads when someone brings their political views into it, why not ban the person from the thread and keep it open?

Why not post this in the "Comments and Suggestions" section?

 

Not sure they can ban someone from an individual thread. Why can't people follow a simple rule?

How about following the rules?

 

They're not difficult or confusing. I dropped an easy warning that was promptly ignored in that thread. If the thread originator wants to continue the discussion, then they can start it anew. I shouldn't have to tell people two or three times a week to lay off the politics.

Because when one person makes a political comment, someone else will retaliate, and it will keep going and going.

 

Maybe deleting individual posts that violate the rules is a better solution? :D

 

Either way, we all need to just stop with politics.

I didn't think of posting it there. Politics has no place on a truck forum. There are places dedicated to it.

Why not have a Political forum for those who want to rant. That's how it's done on several boards I frequent. People have their discussions (rants) in there. Doesn't seem to spill over into the other forums. It also makes finding help with a problem or helping with a problem easier to do to because there is a lot less threadjacking.

But why does anyone need to discuss politics on a truck forum? When things like politics and religion are discussed, chances are nobody is going to change anyone else's views, so it turns into a big argument that goes nowhere. From the other forums I'm on, whether it stays contained or not, it'll always turn members against each other, and 'people not liking each other' doesn't stay contained to just political threads.

I really do agree with you, though, Dan... PM the offender and delete their post. If it keeps happening, temp ban them for a week or so to get their attention. If they KEEP doing it, kick 'em off the site.

I agree that Rules are Rules. So what is the consequence for breaking the Rules on this Site? If the "RULES ARE BROKEN" by an individual then that individual must pay the Consequences! So be Nice and Follow the Rules..

I'm probably guilty of this some time. I try to keep it to a minimum. Sorry :D

 

On the other forums I've been on with a Political section, those members mostly post in that section only. For the most part, the guys discussing politics aren't the guys telling you how to change your diff fluid or whatever. They're larger forums with hundreds of thousands members. The most members on here at once was 1460, which is quite small. Only asking for trouble, even though 95% of us probably share political views.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
