I disagree

no one likes to get spammed and people come here to read about racing and find out information, pointless meaningless posts start to add clutter and garbage to these threads and it makes it hard to sift through. Some of his post come out of left field and have nothing to do with the conversation at hand. These are unnecessary and if I want to point out to a person that they should focus on the topic at hand I will do so as I see fit.

As far as spelling, no one here is asking him to be perfect but when you can not understand the post because it is so bad then there is a problem. When every second word (or more) is spelled incorrectly then a little more effort is needed. At 13 you should be able to look stuff up and get spelling more correct. Besides I see posts where Cody can do it and he just needs to focus more often and a little harder. There is nothing wrong with pushing someone to try a little harder. I agree that calling his posts "crap" is the wrong way to go about it. Mrdoug is not known for his subtly or tactfulness. However when I have had to get after him for his content and spelling I have been nothing but encouraging.

So I don't care if you are 12 or 22 if it is obvious that NO effort is being made to be coherent or keep the discussion on topic then that person needs to be spoken to if they want to participate in this forum. Like I said I know Cody can do better when he focuses.

So all of that said, I don't know what kind of parent or mentor you have been to your kids or any other young person for that matter but in my life I expect a reasonable amount of effort to be made regardless of a persons ability and I take pride in that characteristic and will continue to do so. Communication is one of the most important aspects of getting through life and starting to focus on it at 13 is not too early in my opinion.

Of course words of encouragement are necessary for kids to hear and I saw those from you to Cody in a prior post you made. I did use the words "SOME of you....." when I posted.

However, when a kid posts asking a valid question such as whether or not he can run an E-Max truck at an off road track (posting on the topic at hand may I add) and he receives a reply to his post that he is spamming, his posts are "pointless, off topic" and a link to a site is provided that clearly insinuates one is "a dumb ass" if they don't follow the basic procedure at forums, well....need I say more?

I could write more but I don't want to "clutter up" this thread with "pointless, meaningless posts and garbage", nor be construed as a dumb ass because its not about off road.

you are correct when you look at those comments in the context of this thread alone. Here is where those people are coming from, that was about his 15th post in about 2 minutes in multiple forums. The one you are referring to happens to be in context and relatively coherent so I can see where you are coming from but I am talking about the big picture not an isolated thread a single post.

There was no response from the administrator or moderator because as you say those particular comments were unwarranted.

This is crazy guys. Get over it alread.

Cody · June 03, 2006, 03:59:15 AM

THIS IS CODY'S MOM, LAURIE.
FIRSTLY, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY I AM ASHAMED AT ALL OF YOUR NEGATIVE REMARKS ABOUT CODY. HE LOVES THIS HOBBY AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT THIS WAS. YOUR UPSET WITH HIM FOR SPELLING ERRORS AND PUTTING MESSAGES IN WRONG PLACES. NOW YOU STOP AND THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO HIM! I THINK YOU GUYS NEED TO TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE SAID TO HIM AND YOU OWE HIM AN APPOLOGY, TRY TO GROW UP ALONG THE WAY!

THE UNFORTUNATE THING IS CODY ENJOYS THIS HOBBY SO MUCH SO I WONT DISAPPOINT HIM BY NOT TAKING HIM SUNDAY BUT I THINK YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE HIM IN YOUR COMPANY. HE HAS LEARNING DISABILITIES AND ONLY 13. I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE YOURSELVES. i AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN ALL YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS. AGAIN LETS NOT LOSE FOCUS, THIS IS A HOBBY!

jarrodH · June 03, 2006, 11:53:20 AM

codys a good kid, its not always his speling that people are talking about, its the post that are 4-5 in a row all having 2 or 3 words in each that are really about nothing.

anyways now that this has been this topic has been beaten to death(and then some) lets get back to the real one, the offroad track. the turn 4 track at the speedway a bit of a strech.

lets get somthing built, or atleast started!!! man, if only someone in the club had a large property. i thaught this was all lined up??

dude, kettle black,?

you were calling for action...these were in response to his posts or too me getting after him. I think maybe they want an apology from you as well?...

Quote from: "SgRddY"What in the world are you doing Cody?

Quote from: "SgRddY"Cody is going nuts. He is spaming.

Quote from: "SgRddY"I was going to say something about that [codys coherence and posting volume] but good one Haddow.

Quote from: "SgRddY"Cody, Are you offering $$$ for free? LOL.

SgRddY · June 03, 2006, 04:18:22 PM

Yes I did commented on some of Cody's post but nothing is offensive as I can see. Do you see a problem with my posts? You are the admin, you have the rights to delete posts that don't seem appropriate. The first post that you repsonded to Cody, I said "good one" because you have chosen the right words to tell him what to do.

Let's not get our heads stuck in the mud here with this. What's done is done, get over it and if we did make a mistake in educating Cody with posting on the board then we all did learn from it. If it makes you feel better.... Sorry Cody.

Grinder · June 03, 2006, 05:42:34 PM
