4x4 Action Group

I bet I’m not the only one that has noticed a distinct absence of extreme moderation, deleted posts & threads on this forum.

I’ve got a theory on why it’s working so well but it would be interesting to hear others thoughts?

I also notice that the members are adult.

Oh shit, I am supposed to moderate but I’ve been busy. I will try and up my game [emoji1303]

The difference is the guys here 4x4 in the real letter of the word so keyboard warriors feel insecure in this crowd.

Another reason is that this forum isn’t full of those useless immature insecure loser-type 4x2’ers..... hey Craig?

Just a different culture.

Don't need to be PC, but because of that, no-one really pushes the envelope.

More action and less words kind of forum.

I like it!

Just don't start on liberals and conservatives.

Nope. That would be a mistake!

Let's just keep things as they are.

A couple of differences between 4x4ag Forum & other renown Forums:
* Members are treated like adults (as mentioned above)
* Moderation is done by a team - not one or two individuals.
* Mods try very hard to NOT moderate.
* Mods look at the context - if a guy says Ranger's are crap, but it is in context, the Mods will allow.
If, however, a guy says Cruisers are crap he is clearly an idiot - it's all about context!
* Fear - if a guy, with say, a Hilux, says the Hilux is better than a Colt - he must know we'll see that as a challenge & set one up!
* ...and lastly - No Pub...

I have not started real post yet

Thanks Mods

So this type of post would be unacceptable?

This is a very new & relatively small forum so it’s difficult to compare, but there’s some truths that are glaringly apparent.

My take is that 4x4’ing as a subject focus has had zero impact on the tone & behaviours on this very new forum.

I think that the attraction so far is the lack of moderation personal agendas, as well as the absence of a control freak that’s living in the past with regards to internet platforms & how to manage them.

To all intents & purposes, this forum is largely self-regulated by its members.
Censorship would ruin it, just like the old dying platforms.

I agree.

I do think as this forum is specifically a 4x4 forum, it will not have thousands of members, but it will also not have the same turnover iro members as other forums.
