Hi,
This forum has 12000+ members and, as with all gruops of people, there will always be differences of opinion.
The rep came in with the upgraded forums a few years ago, along with a more rigid sing-up procedure to limit the wookie factor. At the time is was regarded as the way to move forward and pull the forums back into line.
It's not a perfect system, but it has served its purpose quite well. We review it often at the Board meetings and it is a point of much discussion with the impending forum software upgrade.
The forums are ostensibly another facet of the Toymods Car Club, and although we try and give as much free reign as possible, we do have to step in and moderate at times... unlike the Rubber Fetish site I moderate, where anything (and I mean anything) goes.
Which reminds me... Smokey, your order has arrived and MrSnuffles will be delivering it to you this weekend.
