Yes I Am Complaining Again !!
posted in: trimmer's place garage, news on December 20, 2011 at 11:58 AM
I suppose some of y’all are getting fed up with the recent cry-babying I have been doing here lately. Although I do realize from the comments posted lately that I am not alone concerning this matter. In my opinion it is way past time for the HUB Crew to take action. Something needs to be done at once to rectify these problems. We are loosing more and more real car people and replacing them with adds to rent apartments and send flowers. I really do not know any of my car buds that would like to receive flowers from me. Also I don’t care how many times you post about it I ain’t NEVER gonna go to Madrid. Just look at (My Blog Garage) no pictures, no personal information explaining who the heck they are, no videos, no cars or any other means of transportation of any kind listed in their garage. But they do have 1841 blog posts. That may not seem like a lot of posts to some folks but they have only been on here starting in October of 2011, less than three months. I have been here over two years and I am under 15 post all toll. All my stuff is either car related or has to do with my concerns for this site. I’m sure I could go through here and list a bunch of other garages that do not have a reason for being on this site as well, but that ain’t my job. I could also list a bunch of great garage names that no longer visit us here, reckon why that is. I believe we all know the answer to that question. I have seen other Hub Buds offer to volunteer to help with these problems. One would think the Hub Crew should at least acknowledge the fact that others ARE willing to make this a better place instead of avoiding the issue all together. I see no logic in this at all. A Pink Floyd song once said “Hello…Is Anybody Out There?”. I am a bit curious myself, I wonder if the Hub Crew will get my point. Thanks again for hearing me . Y’all’s Hub Buddy…Bill

Another “garage” to avoid: “Singhh4721 Garage”
Just pushing crap, probably “infected” sites.

Someone’s got to do it, right? You’re doing a fine job too!
In the meantime, while we wait, here’s some good reading that got ignored by the Hub Crew. It’s a very feasible solution to our current problem with spammers.

Enjoy the read and let the Hub hear your issues! – They LOVE feedback!!!

I agree that the owner of this site is completely ignoring some issues that need attention NOW but like you stated when members have stepped up to the plate and offered to moderate this site to keep it car related with no response it is definitely on life support. I used to see the glass as half full but with the world the way it is in the 21st century I now see it as half empty with a pin hole on the bottom. I am a member on 3 other car sites and favorite ( Ford Only ) has such a bad problem with spammers that it crashed the classified section and they have a moderator with a very aggressive ( mean spirited ) owner who tolerates no bull from anyone. The INTERNET can be a brutal place because we have the freedom of no control but someday that may end and it MIGHT be a good thing. Just my opinion … Jim

Those who know me, know that, “If it ain’t FUN, I ain’t interested”. The (Hub) lost the Fun Factor for me a long time ago. I keep checking back to see if anything has changed but it only takes a few minutes to realize there’s not much fun going on here. See Ya, Jimmy. You can’t let the inmates run the asylum!

I went back in the past and see that there is a HUB MECHANICS GARAGE. From what I read he handles the IT repairs here on the HUB but hasnt logged in since September?? I dropped a couple emails to the platinum sponsors concerning the ever rampit problems, maybe they can put some pressure on the moderators. I’m sure there a lot of us here that would like to have the power to delete a non essential garage, so hiring new Moderators shouldnt be a problem.

Kinda funny the way things go,isn’t it. I had a similar rant Sat. night,I got 2 responses,1 from the Rat Man giving me his FB info (Thanx Jimmy) and another guy telling me to stop bitching!!!! Glad you are getting more agreeable feed back.The fact is I’ve almost stopped coming here because of all the CRAP that “Blog Garage” has been posting.Came back Sat. thinking maybe it had been dealt with.But NOOOOOOOOO,I used tell every Car Guy I knew about this site,NOW I tell NO one.I’m kind of a sucker for punishment,so I’ll check back in the new year and see if anything has changed.Not holding my breath….........

I always enjoy reading your posts. I do think the staff running this site should listen closely to what the members want and need to make this site a better place. It is very obvious they must be interested in something besides what is going on here. I don’t think they even read the feedback at all.
