Default The old grouch is back!!!

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you guys who've supported me in the VOTM voting. My Jeep Grand Cherokee is an awesome ride, but primarily a stock vehicle. There are so many factory "mods" on the Overland that I've not found it necessary to mod it much, although I do have a set of 2" coil spacers for it that will be going on soon.
Again, thanks to all you guys, I'd have not won without y'all!!!!

Secondly, there has been a rash of really bad behavior here lately, resulting in some individuals getting put on Post Approval and others getting outright banned in my absence. WTF? Other than a few little squabbles, we've never had issues like that in 3rd Gen.

Let's all work together to make this section the plethora of useful information and help that it's always been.

If you have an issue with another member, please report it to one of the section mods, Pyro or me. We will take care of it and hopefully head it off before any disciplinary actions become necessary.

Thanks for all your help and cooperation.

Hammer...

I wish I was around when this all went down. I coulda maybe got to him before he blew a gasket, but judging from his behavior after being asked to tone down his comments toward newbies, I won't say it'll never happen, but at this point I'd have to say no.
I won't get into specifics, but suffice it to say a lot went on out of the open forum that you guys are not privy to...

I sure hope not... He never personally attacked me so I felt I didnt have any right to say anything about it to him (being a semi-noob here still myself). Its the whole rotten apple in a barrel metaphor... gotta get the rotten apple out or it'll spoil the whole bunch. I applaud the mods for taking action to get this forum back to what it was 6 months ago when I found it.

Congrats on the win Hammer

Got yourself a promotion and now you gotta brag about it

The situation with Alpheus is regrettable, but I doubt he will be returning given the circumstances. In the event there are any problems in this section in the future, I encourage members to contact HammerZ71, xfeejayx, Off_Road_Teacher, or myself. Hopefully this will avoid any future situations getting out of hand.
