Just when you thought the problem was the volunteer group of moderators.

I reached out to one of the moderators that was very nice to me in spite of giving me the "strikes" recently. Apparently, they've made a public website to address the serious matter and so I'll share it here.

This problem is bigger than we can imagine.

Check out the website...

The problem with Rennlist has always been that the moderators feel the need to butt in where no intervention is necessary. Yet, in other spots where they really do need to say "hey, let's cool it," they're nowhere to be found. Rennlist is a much bigger site and definitely needs moderators due to some of the jackasses that it draws. But the mods just don't seem to "get it" most of the time. They need to understand the personalities and the "norms" (as opposed to the IB rules) of the forums better.

I see that thread. Jeez, if those contributions are going to get you banned, then what are they looking for? Endless "I love the sponsoring vendor" posts?

I'm surprised that garbage didn't clean itself up after the gave Gretch, Hacker, and the others the boot. Can't fix racist bastards I guess.


If only there was a Porsche oriented site where everyone generally gets on and doesn't feel the need to express such views (if anyone has them).

What a shock. OT is a moneymaker for IB, why would they change anything? Last time I was there years ago there were more than a couple paying members who didn’t even seem to own Porsches. But they can’t have anyone pointing out what it is, either I guess.

So I'm guessing you're a firm no on the $250k ride?
