What a poz-queen.

You don't have a clue what goes on over there, so shut the fuck up. Two posts were deleted, one of them from Catman which was an attack on Jeff Andersen (he seems to have a personal vendetta against the guy), and one of them responding to that post. That thread is anything but overmoderated, and you're just another M.net hate nutswinger who doesn't have anything better to do than nitpick on every single little thing.

If you're going to harass us for being heavy-handed, at least choose a thread that's worthy of ridicule. This is a pathetic attempt. :jerkit:

M.net is a forum for everyone. It's disney. It's the family channel. It's moderated to be civil and informative. You don't like a closely monitored forum? Don't go. Easy peezy japaneezy.

Just because you have a tiny penis doesn't mean you need to be a prick. Bump your meds up keyboard queen, your pussy is showing.

Every time i have tried to get interested in car audio i read something or had a discussion that sounds like this and quickly feel the need to remove my ears with a cheese grater.

i'll happily read engine management or can bus information all day and i respect the talent it takes to know your shit when it comes to car audio, but sweet jesus it is dull.

I have AIDS.

PM ME!!!!!lc

still won't keep the sand out of sav's vagina...

savington we all know your a mod and you bump elbows with the other mods, but loosen up a little

:jerkit:

if this thread doesn't get fun or entertaining for me, it's getting locked. how's that for moderation?

I love lamp.

Blow me. I don't agree with half the shit that gets moderated there either, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with Booth's deletes. I will glady choose sides on anything that happens in the mod arena there; I think Bob Hill is an enormous douchebag, for instance (partially for his "what's wrong with buying my daughter a $40,000 car" thread and partially for some stupid shit he's said in the mod section). When you choose something that is clearly against the rules (useless personal attack) and decide to berate the mods there for enforcing 100% reasonable rules, I'll choose their side, though.

If you guys really think something shouldn't have been edited/deleted, I'll even bring it to attention over there and ask why someone jumped the gun, etc. But when you choose stupid examples, I get to make you look like a stupid example.

well I didn't know what was deleted, I know he deleted 2 posts, but post deletion always happens, I thought he was getting pissed off at the guys who were saying they like this brand or that brand. Joe Perez should have googled it for the guy, he can't seem to do it himself.

Like this

I dont see anything wrong with the posts being deleted. Ive never had any issues with the moderating staff at m.net (except the fact that so much shit gets posted, but you cant stop them all with that many users). Catman does like to ruffle feathers and give smart ass "advice", much in common with some of the people here ;)

Sorry I couldn't get back to this thread sooner, I was quite busy with three Ukrainian midget prostitutes back at the house. Their talents are never ending, but I digress...

The reason I posted this is because I got the impression that the mod deleted posts that were critical of a particular brand. If I was shopping for speakers I'd want to know if someone didn't like them. Now for me, speakers in the miata are kinda useless cause all I can hear is the intake roar, the BOV, and that straight pipe exhaust.....

Hustler, good luck with that AIDS thing, I hear orange juice helps.

Peace

Personally I think M.net is the Disney Channel of the miata world...which is fine by me - BUT Catman is an enormous prick...and we have serious issues...hope I never pass by him while he's on fire...because I wouldn't piss on him to put him out.

That being said...what happens at M.net should stay at M.net...kinda like Vegas and Ukrainian prostitutes.

Well, just my personal experiance with headrest speakers, while we are on this topic... I upgraded from the factory pieces of shit (and thats probably giving them too much credit), to some nice 3 way Pioneer 4'' speakers. It is a tight fit, but they surely add alot of sound from behind. Some people say "you dont need a radio, its a convertable", or that you dont need that much sound from behind, natural sound should be from the front, but it really does make it easier to hear music clearly. Mine point slightly outward, maybe 15 degrees, which I think kind of helps bounce the sound off of the window, or at least angle it out to the ears, since they are too close together and would point at the back of your head if pointed straight ahead. All together, my factory size door speakers, along with the 4x 4'' headrest speakers, and the 50Wx4 head unit, I get pretty damn good sound quality, being a convertable with a good bit of road noise and all.

You honestly think I give a shit what goes on in the audio / electronics forum at miata.net? I think I visited that folder a couple of times right after I first joined, quickly realized that there are only so many different ways to ask "what's the best place to mount a pair of 12" kicker subs in my Miata?" and learned to stay away. With all due respect to the administration over there, there are certain types of forums (Audio, N/A Performance, Interior / Exterior, etc) which seem to naturally attract a class of person who I'd just as soon not be reminded are still alive and consuming valuable oxygen.

That said, M.net has their own style of management, just as we have ours here. Gary wishes to run a very friendly, "kid-safe" sort of place, and that's fine with me. His mods are expected to act in accordance with his policies, and with only a couple of exceptions, I get along just fine with 'em. The only real difference between us and them, to be frank, is that they simply delete offensive content, whereas we sticky it, change your username, and subject you to the on-line equivalent of the pillory for our amusement.

I knew I should have stayed in Salt Lake City instead of continuing westward

Fucking best game ever! I havent played that in like... 15 years I guess.

Ive gotten to where I hardly post on m.net anymore. I may ask some stupid questions from time to time, but I dont think I fall into the same class with the typical noobs who ask the same shit over and over again, and the mods over there let it go. If I do rear/post over there its either in the NA section, or the turbo section, sometimes in the media and interior/exterior section.

Catman can't handle that Jeff backs his talk up with science while Catman must get kickbacks for his incessant plugging for Nakamichi and McIntosh stuff. All Catman does is repeat crap that's been regurgitated on the internet in every car audio forum for the last 15 years.

More specifically...from 15 years ago.

Side note...glad to see someone else from Maryland...where the men are men and the sheep are scared!

I'm pretty sure that Mark Booth guy is just a grumpy old man who has nothing better to do. I kind of feel bad for him, have you seen his car?

If it makes you feel any better he recently deleted some of my posts. Why you man ask? Because along with pics of my Miata I posted a pic of my Civic. He said 'people come to m.net expecting to see just that. Miatas.'

And so I suppose posting a picture of a Civic is an offense over there. It's almost like this guy is a bully looking to piss people off. His online personalty matches his avatar picture perfectly.

I bet he polishes that fancy chrome shift knob everyday!!

Reading Jeff's posts is torture, similar to reading James Joyce. He uses five times more words than are necessary to convey whatever point he's trying to make. He is right though about the headrests being miswired, and if he didn't constantly post about that I might have just thought that all headrest speakers sucked and never fixed it.

Catman does indeed plug Nak to no end, and trying to achieve audiophile level SQ in a Miata is one of the most pointless endeavors I could imagine. But it was his posts that made me at least look at Naks. I wound up buying a CD45z, but more for its inconspicuous OEM looks. It does sound pretty good, although at 70 mph SQ is a mere afterthought even with the top up. Catman would probably shit on the carpet if he knew I run a CD45z and a set of MAX5 headrest speakers. :rofl:

M.net is generally not overmoderated; in fact I think it's (generally) too lightly moderated. A lot of people post there thinking they're helping but in fact are contributing nothing, and the overriding culture there is usually too polite to just delete the BS. One thread I remember that was more subtly maddening, the OP asked for a bolt size. People replied with what size socket to use, then the 6pt vs 12pt comments ensued, then a discussion of diameter, length and thread pitch but without the numbers. Basically, everything that could have possibly been said on the matter EXCEPT the answer to the fucking question. :vash: That had gone on for 12 hours, and it took me precisely three minutes to go out to the garage, remove and measure the bolt in question, and post a reply. If m.net was overmoderated, the only two posts to not get deleted would have been the original question, and the answer.

You should ask him if he is still a 50 year old virgin,or when was the last time he had seen a vagina....besides the day he was born.
