You effectively bashed how we moderate the forum here:

where that's not the case and that was not the thread topic, so it comes across as just bashing the site from a new guy.

If you have a suggestion, we have a Site Info forum for stuff like that.

You'll be happy to know that someone has offered to help out on the site based on your comments, though not with the Tech FAQ.

It shouldn't matter if I'm a "new guy" or not. I merely made a suggestion to improve the site and the post dumping comment was perceived as bashing. Sorry you felt that way. Anyway I'm sorry I've stirred everyone up, that wasn't my intention.

It matters that you are newer because... Let me give you an example...

If you go to a football game and call some random guy a .... Sucker, you are going to have a foght on your hands. But if you laugh and call you buddy the same thing, he's going to laugh too, because he knows you are joking.

The way you are perceiving the community is no different than how you feel the community is perceiving you. Fact is, you went off topic to constructively criticize about something you didn't take the time to learn about, so it came across as an accusatory complaint.

Another thing to know, is the mods take a lot of undeserved flak. They have a right to be a little defensive. I think I speak for a majority of people that are used to being on forums, no one wants to be a mod, and those who are mods probably wish people didn't know they were.

Edit: don't sweat it. Most are either educating you or busting your balls. I made a joke but I'm not holding it against you. Its not like you were Or anyone in response was steaight out being a Troll d... .It's all in good fun.

Just came across this and want to make it perfectly clear that I was NOT post dumping in the thread linked to the first post. I'm not sure how it came across as me selling one for that price but it is what it is. I'm not that big of an a$$hole. Guess I will clearly state "I am offering you" when I decide to make an offer from now on thus preventing anything like this from happening again....
