off topic

Thanks

Just to be clear, I wasn't asking to make it like the garbage other forums with 8000 different sections that are terrible to navigate. I was just suggesting it mostly as the dank memes section has now become news/politics and not so dank. I want a politics section so I can mute it.
 

A couple of thoughts regarding the discord, both from my time there and from being banned. To start with the good: there are some *extremely* knowledgeable, decent, friendly people in the server who have done and are doing amazing things with these cars. There is truly an excellent community there at times, willing to help when needed. Now...the bad. Sporadically enforced, poorly or simply *un*defined rules, excessive ****posting in every single channel, blatant antisemitism by at least one member.... it frankly does not present an amazing image overall. One member said it best when someone asked if there are server rules: "There are, but only when convenient for the mods". I was banned for in jest pinging a moderator 5 times across two channels over the span of 2 hours, which apparently constitutes "repeated harassment" - of note is that at least one of these pings was a serious inquiry as to the price of an item, and another was a genuine request for moderation/clarification. There was not truly clear warning given, nor was a full reason given: in fact, as far as I was aware it was merely the normal joking interaction as is so common on that server. In contrast, other users have previously without repercussion: doxed admins (end result of that interaction for those curious: admin demoted from position, user allowed to stay after <1 day ban), posted anti-semitic content, posted actual pornography in general, etc, etc. If the intent is to have a server with no rules, then that goal has certainly been reached. I've said my piece, take it as you will.

Admittedly I don't hang out on the Discord server hardly at all, but I've never seen antisemitism or poorly enforced rules. Discord is kinda by nature unstructured. If you want structured volvo stuff, that's what the forum is for.

If you've got screenshots of antisemitism, post them, that should never be tolerated.

Maybe it's just me, but these jokes seemed in *extremely* poor taste at best - same user had made similar remarks a few times in the past as well.
 
i will say that my brief experiences in the TB discord have been irritating at best.
