Exclamation NOTICE TO ALL... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING ON THIS FORUM!

This forum has lately become polluted with several individuals who believe they can write whatever they feel, and insult whomever they want.

In deferrence to those who politely supported this forum years ago, paying $65,000 for a NEW C32 with a full warranty, these comments (in general) are NOT for you.

For those among you with ten grand in your pockets who feel that being the third or fourth owner of a C32 amg somehow elevates you to any level of stature and "look at me" coolness, listen up...

STOP the insults on this forum. This is NOT Romper Room. If you can't write respectfully to other members, find another forum where you can write your childish trash, because you will be escorted off this forum... BANNED, with or without notice or warning.

Fair Warning! And MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I haven't seen this attitude maybe I missed something. The thread is insulting as well, get a C63 and you will be allowed to insult and be part of the elite.

I think you are missing the point. Things were getting out of hand and something had to be said. If you are not that way (and I don't think you are), then it was not addressed to you.

It doesn't really matter who its intended for. What is being suggested even if he is upset about certain people is that if you have a 3rd hand 10k benz you are really a nobody and if you bought your car new this excludes you because you paid more. I think being a mod and making a sticky of this he could have used a better choice of wording. Regardless of when how much and who owned the car before you is irrelevant and it is common knowledge that members need to not act like they are better than anyone else. I also don't see a huge issue instead of making this a sticky just deal and ban them individually.

Thanks for adding the bolding for emphasis. This was exactly my meaning... My comments were not meant for all, whether you bought your car new or 3rd hand. It was aimed at those with the behavior. My colorful wording was intentional to get attention among those (few) with little attention span...

This is MBWorld. It is not Twitter, or Facebook, where you can insult, drop the F-bomb, etc., and type faster than you can think. Contemplate before you write. If you think it might be insulting, it is...

We have disgusting language and behavior on ALL the forums to some extent. But nothing like on the C-Class forums as one model (W203) is replaced by a newer model (W204). Ask yourself why that is, and you will understand the facts. And don't start with me, I drive a C-Class, too.
