here's going to have to happen, your gonna have to put a block for new members on these threads where you know we get rowdy, something like, you need 250 posts to view this thread, that will pretty much kill the bashing of the newb that comes up in here wanting us to appreciate his "Giovannasanti" 19" Chromed out wheelzoorz.
otherwise they come in here asking for it, can't come into the lion's den and not expect a little rattle.

If people here continue to jump on everyone that doesn't fit their style or they don't like, people will be warned, banned. Permanently.
If this thread cannot remain mature enough to politely tell someone he's in the wrong thread and advise him to move on, it doesn't need to exist.
And no matter what point you bring up about other forums, this is not those other forums. This is Scionlife. And the rules here are almost certainly different than at those other places. Valid as you people may think it is, it is not. Kind of like the "but what about free speech!" argument.
I think it's funny that they would remove all that because someone can't follow simple rules on the first page. Straight up if you post cheap friggen wheels here you deserve to get chewed up for posting cheap eBay wheels in a thread like this.
"Hey man, if you love you wheels, good for you, but if you read the rules of this thread on the first post, we're only looking for specific high end wheels, which yours are not."
But nooooooo.... it can't be that easy, can it?

^in EVERYONE's defense, there were a couple of giggles, and some warnings first, but after his first pompous "its my car my style", "i can do whatever i want" "its my taste" crap, then he deserved what he got, and he kept coming back for more!

yea i removed a majority of it, granted the picture was definately 'inovative', but figured needed cleaned up cuz of all the crap going back n forth, and didnt want to have to delete the thread and make you guys have to start a new one
Totally understand what you're saying.
Ever hear the expression, "don't feed the trolls"? Same concept here. If the bashing didn't start immediately in the way that it did, he probably wouldn't have been so defensive and instigative about it.

that is what i thought then ack came in here saying he had to delete everything so i was confused because i thought most of the stuff was deleted lastnight. I thought everyone had moved on.
But it's more the concept. If you play into a trolls hands, he keeps going. If feed the ignorant and uninformed, they get defensive (b/c they don't understand what's going on).

Yes, as sad as it is, I believe that (think he lives like an hour from me and have seen him at shows).
