Evolution of this Rolex sub forum

Thanks for taking the time to reply to the thread with all your wisdom, sincerely! I am new here not returning but am very familiar with online forums and the BS that comes along with them....And, yes it is the majority I was attempting to speak with, not these El Camino drivin, Texans...



It's clear not all moderators are equal.....



It's these direct insults from baby mods (rats) and this one mod above, saying that new members are ruining this place. This is what got under my skin (being one of these new guys) and lead to my attempt to help out..But we all know "No good deed ever goes unpunished...". I'd have to say if these very same people aren't happy with what this place has morphed into, then here let ME show YOU the door.....



So, these glory days (others seem to have lost) I can not answer to, as I wasn't lucky enough to have afforded the Rolex on my arm earlier in life and found this place. As I have said, I'm learning here, and still trying to figure out why some off topic threads remain in General and then directly related ones get moved....Ass kissing might be it?



With that, again thanks for talking with me!



When you can match up to my collection of real cars in my garage, come back and we can talk....

Hey Mr. Kevin,

What are “baby mods”? And how are they rats? I’m just curious.

You seemed okay until your comment about your “real cars in your garage”. That’s cool, you like cars. This a watch forum, we like watches.

See, now this is the type of reply that will lead a very good conversation the wrong way....Nothing underhanded at all. EVERY forum has them whether you want to believe it or not....You were welcome, to NOT reply if you didn't like what you read....

Hi HR!
The guy insinuated earlier about my baby car on my avatar, just a poke back at him in FUN! I like cars and watches!!

These "want to be mods" are ass kissing people, that love to hit that little report button. Like hatching an egg. EVERY forum has them.....Yes, I've been reported already!

It's a watch forum not life or death! It's fun to learn!!!

Is this about the thread of yours being moved by a Mod?

I don’t agree with the mods all the time, but that’s fine. Every forum needs mods and their word should be final. I personally appreciate the job they do.

I’ve been ‘collecting’ for a while now and I’ve got an ok collection, but I still ask some ignorant questions at times, and when I’m put right, I’m ok with that.

Go with the flow, or not, the choice is yours.

Hi 77T, No, not moving any thread which has happened already, what do I know...? It's reading posters say things like new members should be kept sparse and pretty much to be quiet...With the addition of this places demise by new members....tough for a new guy to read I guess?

Thanks for that Mr. Token! I've learned one thing, you make great posts! Thank you for helping me!

And true about mods, they can be a necessary evil!

I understand better now.

There should be better behavior among some members - among both the long-tenured ones as well as the newer ones - who aim derision toward some posts.

The good thing is Mods will rein them in with warnings and ultimately banning anyone who won’t stay civil.

I’ll bet wristrolex has quite a collection of matchbox cars. I had them when I was a child. Would love to see them.

I think I'm more of a Rocker....

The Mods seem a bit effeminate, .....not that there's anything wrong with that.

He found out what happens when you get into a pi$$ing match with the moderators.

Strange thread.

The hangtag is still attached to his watch. It doesn't look like his Rolex saw much Wrist time.

Did Kevin take the G.S. scooter out? It seems the mods had enough too.
