Anything you want to say. But, no outright vulgarity. No porn.
Anyone breaks a rule - instant ban. The thread stays on OD for 24 more hours after lock-down for all to read, that’s it.
Then - It’s deleted by the opening Mod.

I don’t see where this would cause too much harm to the forum. But then, I’m no forum expert either.
The interesting thing would be the posts that turn out to be nothing like you’d perhaps expect from a particular member. On the other hand. Many may be a simple waste of time. As we certainly know what some members would have to say. They try different angles of it all but daily.

BTW, "that’s it." (New phrase for the day. )
Why would the Mods need to get involved? Start your thread and state your parameters. Close the thread whenever you wish.

I’m thinking Mods, because it would more than likely contain some "personal attacks". Those would be allowed. The Mods/Master would have to OK such a thing. I’ll gladly open it to the floor with their approval of a “no holds” (except rules as stated) thread.

What would happen is that certain members would say nasty things about other members, I guarantee it. I'd bet my E430 on it. Then after the thread is closed, there would be unresolved arguments, and these would manifest themselves in all kinds of innuendos, backstabs, insinuations and references in dozens of other threads, daily, in this forum. Kind of like the way it is now, only elevated.

All of which I'd have to follow, sift through, answer PMs and reports, and try to make sense of it all and who started what, when and where and who gets the little red card.

So...fun idea, but not on my watch, please and thank you.

Yeah, Mistress. What were you thinking? That we're all reasonably mature adults here?

No, sadly, that would be WAY too much responsibility for we of the mercedesshop forum to handle.

Is it time for them to pass out our meds yet? . . .

I'm happy with just a nice "wobble." I'm a simple man. I don't require much, just a simple wobble . . .

Go to Benzworld off topic if you want a free for all brawl. It gets old pretty quick if you ask me. Why should one need to resort to swearing and all out personal attacks in order to get there point's across.

Well, if you can't post porn then why bother??
