to:TIGER76 if you think traxxas is great. read there site rules, at one place they TELL you to not use alcohol. its one thing to say you cant talk about alcohol on the site, iam ok with that, its something else to TELL you CANT use alcohol. I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT traxxas

yeah traxxas dont have a right to tell you what to do but if they steer teens away from alcohol and drugs like most schools do or local councils do
maybe as a rc company they dont have the right to do so but at least there trying to get a positive message across which is fine in my books
Just to let you know im NOT a member over there but do browse due to some good info and ideals for my trucks.
Im not sure what the problems are like in the states but in the UK you should see how many teens are in A&E every weekend getting stomach pumps []
Teen binge drinking is a big problem over here probally more than drug use now so im all for big companies making statements like that.
Wether it be traxxas,losi,hpi,redcat,tamiya etc [8D]
Im not gonna tell you personally not to drink not my problem but i work in a car recovery compound in the UK which deals with the police and local council recovery so you can imagine how many smashed up cars i see daily due to drink driving trust me it DOES put you off drinking while driving when you have to take the familys victims through if they want to see the wreckage []
Heres an example of what i mean..

RE: No Traxxas
i have been nice cause i think this site is the ONLY one i have found that wasnt a bunch of kids in a sand box, and its well ran. i was realy blown away when when i saw that this site wasnt just kids calling each other names. you see iam 62 years and i dont have to put up with nonsence, and i dont have any thing to prove. and i dont care what people think of me. but i feel i should be good and fair to everyone, no mater how they treat me. if i have not been all these things, please for give me.

RE: No Traxxas
Has anyone ever noticed the part right above the body of your post when you are typing that says "If you have to vent, take it offline"? Lets stop all the pointless BS and get back to the OP's original concern. I saw kids in a sandbox mentioned but it would appear to be that is what this has turned into. Let's try to focus on what really matter:
Now doesnt THAT look nice?

RE: No Traxxas
what realy is the mater is someone started by talking about traxxas. so if they open the door i might walk through it. i have NEVER started a thread saying anything against anyone or any site or company. i do not mean anything against any one on this site or this site. but i have very little love for traxxas. like i said this is the best site i could find, the people are fantastic.

RE: No Traxxas
Exactly Tiger but in a way he still has a point. The "opinions" here really tend to get out of hand at times, and especially when it comes to Traxxas. Both sides, the pro-Traxxas and the anti-Traxxas have lately just become WAY too militant about it.

Maybe if you keep drinking alcohol you'll be able to figure out the difference between their, there and they're.

So what if a site says not to drink alcohol? Like every health class text book made in the past 50 years says not to drink... besides, most of their unique traffic is probably below the age of 21 anyways, and shouldn't be drinking to begin with.

And maybe a little common courtesy? Or is that too much to ask for?
ORIGINAL: moe7404
to: hoosier_rc_nut you should know by now that if you open the door you will not be the only one going through it. this is what happens on web sites. other wise why DO we have web sites, to let just one person talk? of course common since should allways be used.

As for the topic of the Traxxas Forum. I used to be a member on there but after being warned 3 times for saying crap or darn, I told 'em to delete my account. I asked the moderator that warned me all three times what level of language is acceptable. I was told "The Little Mermaid level". I said "bah" and bailed. There's a limit to what you can expect people to abide by. Expecting a large mass of people to "talk" at a "G" level on the internet is unrealistic, IMO. <shrug>
I'm done ranting. Also, I don't have any problems with traxxas either.
