It could work, and it would be cool. Do the 100 post limit before you can access it.

I see both sides both pro and con. We pretty much mind our P's and Q's and if we don't we get by big brothers like Swartlkk and rriddle3. I don't see how it could get too out of hand when you can't even double post in a thread without Kyle waggin' his finger at ya, (no offence, good moderators is a good thing .)

Plus we have a "gentle manner" about us that runs off less than savory characters...

All good points.

The chat box is pretty much a "shout" box at the same time. Messages stay in the box until they get "pushed out" of the box... ... it only stores so many messages at a time.

I can see how it would be very difficult to moderate though... Most people hang out in threads and that's the focus of the moderator's attention, I don't see how or why they'd sit there for hours on end watching the chat box for someone to go all racist or trolling... it'd be easy to miss as a result.

This is where we should have a system in place as far as blocking out profanities with ****'s and if someone starts breaking rules, we the upstanding members of this forum should report it... depending on the circumstances of course. Sometime's people get into pissing contests, and I don't see the need for a mod to step in if things can be cooled down by others.

As far as reporting... there should be a link in the "notification" area of the chatbox titled something like "How to report rule breakers"... or "Copy, Paste, Ban-Hammer" lol

I love the idea. And I'm sure us regulars could keep everything to a dull roar!

How could Pat be a mod? He doesn't even own a Blazer anymore....
















joking. So uh... yeah is this thing maybe gaining momentum? Kinda like a Twitter for Blazer drivers. Like a... Blitter? (Then agian scrap that, I'm sure that would violate a copyright in the hands of a good lawyer for them.)

Didn't trade my "knowledge" in with it though. I still wish I knew as much about my fullsize that I did my Blazer.
