Moderate-Strict. Right now it's Tom and Brock who are real mods and almost every other one is part of the problem or just doesn't give a fuck. Rob.
I've spent just about a decade on scooter forums and the past year or so has been it's darkest hour. This community is no longer representative of the sport, it's a 16 year old boys club where trolling and mindless fighting are worn with badges of honor and altercations are handled with fucking .gifs and not the human brain. The adult forum is 95% not adult and the "girl you would tap" thread is just porn with some artistic nudity.
Now I understand you guys are having a good time with your e-thuggin, anything goes atmosphere but I'm not feeling it. Not SR. There are a million other places to act this way on the internet and I like my scooter forums friendly and perhaps a little welcoming. I'm not looking for strict control because SR never was that either but I'd like the wild west to end.
And don't attack me and say I want to take all the fun out of the board cause I don't. If Scooter Resource is only fun because you can troll and call people out on stupid shit online without any repercussions (thread might get locked but not until Rob gets the last word) than please just leave, this is about scooters and the love of it, it's bigger then you or me.
The people i'm talking about haven't ever ridden for the love of it. You've made a competition out of everything: who has the best parts, who can do the trendiest tricks and what clique you managed to weasel your way into. Scooter riding has never been a social club, it's been an art of self expression and stress release and if you can't understand that maybe you should join a sports team and cut your losses. Stop flaming each other over the internet when if you met at the skatepark you would be totally cool with each other. Go out and ride, I dare you... All by yourself on a shitty day with your favorite tunes, thats what it means to be a part of this.
Five years from now? Part of me hopes the industry dies and everyone who didn't love this shit to start with leaves and we are left with real riders... It's dark but it sounds so idealistic. On the real, if SR is still here in five years I hope the community will have more unity and the days of threads either being a shitstorm or a dicksucking contest will be over.
