It's just one or two noob moderators that are trying to impress us with their e-skills and take away any grain of excitement that's left in this forum. And to keep this Z06 related, I will type "Z06".

Done.

Nothing like over moderating (and I am sure this thread will have a shelf life of about 10 more minutes)!

I did notice the increase of closed threads. Most of them seems like for stupid reasons or no reason at all.. It has become like the military in here.

Thank you Mod's for spoiling the fun (whats left of it).

Default Not cool.

I posted on a thread that was three pages long in the C6/ZO6 area of why he hated the new ZR1 and would stick with C6/ZO6's and others chiming in. I defended the ZR1. One post defending the ZR1. It was immediately moved to the ZR1 area where no one goes after that one post. I think you can only get to that forum from the front page of the site, not using the Forums drop down, there isn't a ZR1 listing on the flyout. Seemed a bit excessive to bury it for one post about the ZR1 vs 3 pages about the C6/ZO6.

everyone here should be ashamed of themselves, this forum is for new people to ask questions, not a personal chat area for z06 guys
Too keep this thread from getting locked my question is how many horsepower will I gain from a performance hood seal.
Thanks

Yeah.... I too noticed what looked like "operation clean sweep" come through, tons of moved/locked threads...... a couple obviously deserved the lock but others had no content to warrant such action. I would have to agree with some here that it has gotten slightly overmoderated in here...... I think a warning would be more appropriate than just locking something, this way people understand why. Sometimes I go back to a thread thats locked, read it and just sit there dumbfounded as to why it would be locked. Hope the mods read this and dont take offense but simply take it as some minor constructive critisism.

A few years back I used to frequent the 4.6L section of a big Mustang forum and 90% of the posts were considered 'chat'. Instead of locking threads, admins made a '4.6L Chat/Talk' sub-forum which ended up being a HUGE success (in addition to their regular Off-Topic forum). Alot of us feel more confortable chatting with other Z06 people rather than a big jumble of random people in the Off-Topic forum. Let's do it.

Way overdone lately.

A guy asks about some specific thing pertaining to Z06's and it gets moved off to some obscure section of the forum that Z06 guys don't go to.

Come on guys! All this talk about mod intervention, and no one mentioned the fact that they have made this forum VERY SLOW!

All in all, I enjoy this forum more than any other!
