Default What has happened to P-WRX?

What has happened to Perth WRX??

When did this community become filled with self riteous wankers who find the best way to make themselves feel better is to abuse and ridicule others?

Don't get me wrong those that know me are fully aware that taking the piss out of mates is one of my favourite pastimes - but of late there is a huge amount of threads that point out the shortfalls of others, bag out newbies etc unless as per usual it is a select group of individuals that seem to have "Taken over P-WRX".

Fuck me I just don't think that is it required to repeat "search is your friend" 50 times in every newbies thread.

If you don't like answering dumb questions then don't open the thread.

My post count is not huge, but look at the join date (and that is the date I joined here) I was on Yahoo egroups, I was a founding commity member of AFARCC - way way way before most of you had cars ie before IWRXOC, before P-WRX, hell when alot of guys on here started playing with cars the WRX was a mythical car that you caught a glimpse of once in a while and at rally's, I have owned turbo subaru's since before some of you were old enough to wipe your own ass.

Just because people don't have a wank thread, a post count bigger than most email inboxes and don't felate whoever is the latest "in" person does not mean they do not have anything to contribute, this goes for newbies as well - keep in mind the vast majority of you have asked plenty of very dumb questions over time.

And finally to a number of moderators who feel the need to wave the "Ban Stick" inssesently - do you not hold any type of managerial experience?? I think you don't because this appears to be the only power you have and you like to use it at every opourtunity.

Anyway that is my rant - I would be interested in others opinions.

Disclaimer - this thread is for discussion, In no way do I condone the use of this thread to turn P-WRX into a nanny state non piss taking homosexual group hug with puppies - just food for thought

stereotypes are always going provoke a response,

if a kid has attrocious grammar, makes wild claims or openly ignores/rejects advice, then inevitibly they were never going to hang around.

gc8 WRXs are getting cheaper and cheaper and are being purchased by younger people. As a result we get more and more immature little douchebags.

I'm guilty of berating people from time to time, I don't appologise for calling a spade a spade though.

Problem is it is the internet. People can hide behind a keyboard and have whatever act they want. Actually have real life meetups and most people who contribute are decent normal people.

Who are the mods 'waving the banstick'? Very few people get banned and it's normally people who come on to just use the forum to hock their shit. Everyone's been posting up that I'm waving the banstick, yet I've only banned 1 person for not following the for sale rules after multiple warnings.

I do agree with the heroes who have to repeat the same thing 'search ffs' etc is bloody annoying.

John there are a few over zealos people on here at times - maybe they are not mods I didn't bother to check, just an observation over recent history.

I would hate to be a newbie on this site, you get slammed for asking any questions and treated like you know 2 bits of fuckall.

Way back when this site was for sharing info and having a community that was not as regimented as being in a "car club", having a bit of a laugh - you are probably right it's just the way the internet is - more about beating your own drum than being part of something.

The only reason most of them are picked on is bcoz thay tlk lyk dis nd r a gnerl payn in d arss. Most ask really really stupid questions too, kids of that age & knowledge of what the internet is should know about searching google at a bare minimum.
