Dcving, I think if you can't make it...don't. No one is perfect...even your trucks sometimes have minor imperfections.
Agreed Cascadia.
This is a video game, not real life and people tend to forget that. This is supposed to be for fun, not to get "absorbed" into, and if people don't understand that, leave.
For all who don't know, real truck driving is more than just driving the truck around somewhere and taking pictures of it.
And back to the graphics and details thing...to have a nice truck on this game it doesn't have be be exact, and to the "T" of the real truck.
Graphics are graphics, at least some people can still play this game on their PC's. You don't have to have everything perfectly straight, and not jaggy, not everyone can afford to go out and buy a brand new nvidia card these days.
I'm glad Chris posted this because this BS has been going on way to long.

No matter what Chris and Rowan do on the forum it isn't going to change, the only way your going to notice a difference on this forum is if you ban everybody except yourself, because a forum on the internet isn't going to change the way people act, and although I agree with some constructive criticism Jon is right, it is a dang video game it doesn't have to be perfect, we do this for fun and if somebody doesn't want to add step bolts than so be it, that is their choice and not everybody elses, I know I'm one of the people who bitch about stuff being wrong, and by no means am I saying I'm not like that, but at the same time I'm not usually saying its bad work just trying to point some stuff out. And to tell you the truth I honestly think this new thing with the forum is pushing it, trapping people in a prison like environment isn't going to make things better, I know that if I wanted to be treated like this I would go to Truckpol but its your forum and your choices I'm just saying that this isn't the best way to handle the problems

I'm not sure if that's the biggest problem... I think that's just coincidental.

i'm not too damned about this new rule to be honest, 98% of the time i'm cool with everything and i just go with the flow. But you have to tak in 2% of the time someone will really try to get up your ass and 1% of the time it will work. Now if you can tell me that you have never lost your cool at someone and had a good "chat" with them your are really bullshitting (excuse my French). But thats my opinion, Jeez people making trucks in Zmod pisses me off the most because you always get one person saying somethings wrong like "the normals are F'ed" and "oh it looks different to that". I'd like to see them do better.
But its only my opinion.

Some people know what there talking about others just bitch. If you know what your arguing about then put up a fight if you don't know what there talking about keep your trap shut almost all of the BS is some argument about detail screw the fucking detail. It's a damn game let people do what they want.

Ok, well you guys made some good points. And Aaron, you're right about the rules, they ain't gonna change anything, only minor. Still, I want that rule for the screenshots thread in place. I find myself reading bullshit more than looking at screenshots.
Anyways, I'm gonna have a long talk with atleast some of my staff. I think I'm gonna get one more staff member on here until Ivan and luder's work slows down after the summer. Plus, I need one more person because it's summertime and not everyone, including me, wants to sit on their ass here watching people all day so maybe one more will be a good thing. I'm also gonna have a long talk, hopefully we can do that on the trucksims teamspeak or something, with my staff so we can all agree on what to do to improve this negativity problem. I say improve because it will never stop.
Now I dunno what this shit is about, about no one being american on my staff. It just turned out that way. And most of my friends on here aren't american. I have one idea for one more staff member, but he's not american either. So if that matters, I dunno what to say. I can't see how that would make any impact on anything.

Yes but at the same time if your close friends nobody will say anything if they notice something is wrong, and even if a staff member messes up if hes friends with the admin you gotta realize hes gonna get special treatment because of that

Define "special treatment", and give me an example.

Ivan came to me when I got banned. He didn't understand why I was banned, and he told me that. He said he would talk to you about it. It's not favorites, Chris. He obviously saw that you were in the wrong for banning me. I won't leave. I have as much right here as the next guy. I do follow the rules. I don't see why I get under your skin so bad... unless you know your wrong and can't admit it. If I was wrong, I'd admit it.... By the way, about the "1 on 1" conversation, yeah, I don't think your man enough to have an open conversation here on the board. What we have to say should be posted in the open and not hidden from the community the way you want it to be. This is bigger than just me. This is about all the members on this forum that have been speaking out.
Let me tell everyone this: I have no beef with you, Chris.

What we have to say should be posted in the open and not hidden from the community the way you want it to be. This is bigger than just me. This is about all the members on this forum that have been speaking out. Let me tell everyone this: I have no beef with you, Chris. Well, that's a relief actually. Because I thought you did, and it seems that way alot of times. As for Ivan, he didn't talk to me about anything. All you got was a 1 day ban because of me, not Ivan. I banned you, and I wanted you to come back, NOT because of Ivan, again..... What Ivan has to say about it doesn't effect me at all, if I wanted you banned you'd be gone. And about him not favoring you, that's contrary to what he posted in the staff board. He basically told me you're favorited above anyone else and I'd quote his post but that goes against my own rule, and I can't favorite myself. So, I guess I jumped the gun and I'm sorry, but I'm not entirely guilty here all the time and I hope some of you can see that. Ivan doesn't understand anything because he's never around, and I dunno about him but I can actually ban my friends and understand why if they get that far out of line. And let's face it, this is about your last ban you had and that's why you brought it up. You have to udnerstand I only banned you because you contributed posts that got the forum all anxious and the 1 day ban was warranted because of that. I have nothing against you either, just to make that clear. It just seems every time we fight something is blamed on me, and that's why I always fight with you. I just never understand why shit is blamed on me when everything that has went on was entirely because of someone else. I just wanna tell you something that you can think about. Don't always listen to what other people say. If Ivan thinks you were banned for nothing, it doesn't mean you were banned for nothing. And I'm not saying you only think a certain way because of him, because that's just rediculous. What I'm saying is don't listen to Ivan. We can talk about whatever goes on without him, and most of all he doesn't impact my actions. I'm not an ivan follower like most people do, and what he says about my actions or decisions doesn't influence me at all. When Ivan leaves this community, If he does before I do, I'll still be here doing and saying the same things. Don't get all pissed off because you have Ivan on the sideline telling you I was wrong. That's his opinion, and it doesn't overrule mine. And I don't care what my staff thinks about this, it's my forum and what I say goes. And I think they all know that and they have to accept it.

Wow... I took the time and read every single comment posted in this topic... some I can relate to and some I just can't. I have been around trucksims since the early pttm days and I have to admit guys... I have seen a lot of great community members pack their bags due to the immaturity that some guys display while online... we should all be thankful... that's right... if your reading this now that means you are still a member here, but like I was saying... we should be thankful because Chris didn't have to open this place at all... he didn't have to allow those that conduct themselves... day in and day out like total jerks for no reason to join up here. We are suppose to be men so if you are indeed one why not act like it! Why not control what you type before you "POST REPLY". A lot of this drama can be prevented... it all starts with ourselves We don't have to hate on every rig posted because someone forgot or can't make something... or post a crappy comment because we want to get back at someone... it's a video game... nothing more... nothing less! I mean... I can understand constructive criticism but to bash someone to the point that they are afraid to post pics of their model or simply to ashame to ask for help in fear of ridicule! But seriously guys... why ruin a good thing to the point that rules have to be established. It's time some of us grow-up and act our ages. A video game shouldn't be worth fighting over... especially with someone you know nothing of personally

In my eyes it has, a few times.....but it was dealt with. And why some of my staff are gonna get shit canned in the near future. I obviously can't have staff that have a reputation, because I do now and all I've been receiving is flack about it. Besides that, it's not really skin off their back.....they'll do just fine without their moderator power.
