Most of us a kind and mild mannered.

There are a few who are very mean spirited. We call them liberals and a few other titles from time to time.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!!!

Out of curiousity though, why was this moved to Off Topic? I'm a C Class owner and I was trying to say hi to that section since it pertains to me.

Because your post didn't have anything to do with the C-Class (IE, problems, suggestions, questions, etc). Your post was just a general statement, introducing yourself, so really, it belongs in the Off Topic section

So I can't say hi to the other C-Class members in that section? Whatever, doesn't make much sense to me.

No no, that's not what i'm saying. What i'm trying to say it doesn't pertain to the C-Class, per say. Its just the way the forum goes. (someone else wanna take a stab at it? :p)

Well the only reason I say anything is because I've been reading nothing but hostility about the mods and admins controlling the content a little too much. Something about people getting banned for no reason and threads getting moved and deleted. Thought it was kinda funny since I just joined and already it's happened to me. It really makes me think I shouldn't have joined over here.

Hostility usually because people either post non-sense stuff and starts a thread "riot" or people just not using common sense, therefore need admin/mod intervention.

theads being moved are because what's posted inside the thread has nothing to do with where you posted it, like in your situation. It's really just a hello and how can that possibily be related to the c-class, right? Now, if you were to post, "hey, i'm new here or what you wrote first, and say your car, or what you have or your planning to buy a c-class, then that would be a different case and it won't be moved because that info inside the thead had something to do with the c-class. Get what i'm trying to point out?

As for joining here, it's a great forum with plenty of information to be read and shared. yes, you may feel intimidated by some or whatnot, but just brush it off, and have fun here No worries.

Post a photo of your car in the C - Class forum and then say "hi" and your thread/post will not be moved.

The mods are pretty cool and unless you post asinine stuff and/or start berating other members they do not interfere in what goes on. (My opinion)


Welcome to the forum.

I just finished reading the ENTIRE post about the CF interior in the c-class forum. Since its now closed, I guess I'll post here that I refuse to buy anything from the sponsors of this site.

BTW if you get banned, I think they block your inbound IP. If you configure your browser to use a public proxy server you can still re-register under a different name, no?

Thank you all for the warm welcome and a special thanks to session for moving this back to the c class section where it belonged in the first place. I guess I should have posted that I have a C-class in the first place. I'll try to get some pictures of my car this weekend. I'll have to borrow a camera though. It's just a stock c 230.

tuscanraider - Yea, I noticed that thread was closed now too. What's up with that? They said it wasn't constructive to the forum in ANY way, but I think, how is it NOT constructive. It deals with everyone on this forum right? I don't know. I'm new here and the last thing I want to do is get banned like that Komp whatever guy.

Welcome to MBWorld, Fan For Life. You just happened to jump in here during the biggest scandal we've had since Darkfact left. This is not the usual tempo and rapport you will experience from MBWorld, you just joined in during 1% of the time that housekeeping of member/moderator/administrator issues are being handled and aired.

Stick around, you'll like what this place has to offer.

Yes, this is the biggest controversy lately, but I think it represents some anger and frustration that has been boiling under the surface for quite a while... and do check out C-Klasse (use www.csportcoupe.com for now... the new address doesnt work).

Welcome and lets see a pic of your car!!
