Posting in the Right Place

[Jared Roach]

Well I just saw a pick up and suv section added so I'm happy now.

I just started a Pickups section in Model Trucks.

Harry ,, you'r getting complaints about people posting pickups in the "Under Glass" and "On The Bench" catagories?

I get all sorts of complaints!

[Terror]

I think there should be sections,But they all should have workbench and underglass.My .02

[Jared Roach]

I'm not ,, this is getting a bit rediculous.

When I do a post on one of my pickup builds, which happen to be more street machines or hot rods, certinly not commercial vehicles, I'm just gonna put it in the "On the Bench" or "Under Glass" section as I have been since I joined this forum over 4 years ago.

Well i agree with ya. I bet not as many people will see the truck builds either because there all the way at the bottom. I mean I got my hemi d50 and I think it belongs on the bench, because it's a wip, but if that's the way the rules are, I'm fine with it.

I also think that there will be less traffic as on the bench and under glass too, because not evrybody likes pick ups/suv's

Guys, this post wasn't meant to cause a huge problem... it was meant to SOLVE a problem, as I have gotten PMs from people complaining about people posting in the wrong places.

All I want you to do is use common sense and try to post in the right place. If you can't figure out what the right place is, post where you think it should go. This isn't a major big deal, just a suggestion to make things easier for people to find.

Maybe I should not comment as I have never posted anything here (more for camera and posting issues than anything), but if all you have to do with your time is PM Harry about postings in the wrong place, maybe you should go back to the workbench and build.

Like I said, I'd break down things differently... but I have to work with what's currently in place.

If we have a TRUCKS section, seems to me that TRUCKS should be posted there. Ideally we would have TRUCKS broken down into Pickups/Light Commercial and Big Rigs/Heavy Commercial... but we don't.

Harry this has come up before and it has been made clear each time that the Model Trucks section was for Class 6-8 trucks, the medium and heavy duty rigs. It is not for the light duty trucks which includes 1 ton and smaller trucks. Light commercial vehicles have been tolerated, but some of the wilder light trucks have been politely told they really belong in another part of the forum. It ends up with the smaller guys getting smacked around like a ping pong ball looking for a home.

Gregg's adding a light duty section will help but I think it is pretty clear why there has been confusion. At least with trucks I think most try but it is confusing. They get told by one mod that they belong down there, then told by another they belong up top.

As far as the rest I agree it would be nice to see everything posted in the right place and just once, it certainly makes it easier to find posts. I am rather surprised people have the time to send you PMs complaining about it though, I wish I had time to worry about trivial things like that.

In no way are any of my comments meant to imply you are doing a sub par job. Moderating is a fairly thankless job, so thanks for putting up with our gripes and groans.

Aaron, check out the thread where we're talking about re-configuring the forum.

I think you'll like what you see.

We have a ask Model Cars a Question section . Yet you see people asking questions in the General section all the time for what ever purpose. What about those questions? How many people look at the Ask a question section? Is it not used enough? Could that be reason people use the General section?

We can combine the "Ask Model Cars a Question" section with the "General" section. No need to have both. If you have a question it goes in the "General" section.

If we have only one section where questions would logically go (General) then we can eliminate the unnecessary "Ask Model Cars a Question" section. The point is to make the site SIMPLER, with fewer categories... but with a category for EVERY possible post.

It's all very simple. Actually simpler than it was before. Fewer categories, but now a place for everything. Check out Gregg's post on reconfiguring the forum.

Sounds good Harry P. .

I thought there was only one section. "View New Content"

Only one comment - Hot rod and custom pickups should not be in light commercial or truck categories, same with racing pickups. That is being too literal and/or anal. The fact that they are rods, customs or racing should inform that decision.
