Dont we have thread penalties? I firmly believe schmiggz comments were unnecessary. And not a reflection of this league and most of its members. We penalize and or ban people for there poor decisions in a race. I think this should carry over to this thread. We have lost an asset to are league due to someones comments. If you do not like a car or track. Do not bash someone for there choices, just dont race in it. Something should be done especially since this is not his first offense. Ok im done.

Pretty sure zer0 is keeping score.

I understand schmiggz passion and love that he has it 👍 It shows he cares and that means something to me.

But directly lashing out at someone for something they have a right to, to me is not on.

Some responses I would have been totally cool with:

Wow is this car going to be hard to tame. I'm having a heck of a time with it in turn 2, anyone have any suggestions?

Or

Holy crap this car is hard to control in turn 2. I've got a challenge ahead of me. Anyone want to hit D1 so I can get it sorted out?

Or

Man Harley, you laid a challenge out there for me. How'd you manage to keep the car pointed down track in turn 2?

Yes, thread penalties will be given to Schmiggz. However, I want to be clear that they aren't for his complaining about the combos. While his complaints were certainly over the top and um.."dramatic", they didn't necessarily cross the line IMO. What I believe crossed the line was when he brought an apparently pre-existing beef with HarleyMan (from non-S.N.A.I.L. races no less) to the thread. There's no doubt the way he complained wasn't cool, but the other stuff is what escalated the situation past the breaking point.

 

[Schmiggz]

I have an even better solution, zero. This will be my last post on this thread. I don't want to ruin your beautiful life ever again or make the moustache man loose he's oily cool.
If i don't fit in the general coolness of you, tremendouly cool people I just step out.

Please don't over react and start coldwar on the tread. You better stay low profile like everyone , its not a place to make publication on people. Schmiggz you know better than that and a lot of people like you so give a example of a Veteran with humbleness.

 

[kcheeb]

I dont even know what to say anymore. Things get a little uncomfortable, awkward or stressful and people pack it in.

I can guarantee you S.N.A.I.L. would not have lasted a month if zer05ive reacted that way. I've never seen anyone endure some of the things he's had to deal with and keep coming back for more

And you guys quit because you didn't like what someone said or because you were told you should treat people with respect

We're here to have fun racing cars, in a well organized league, where we treat each other with respect. Let's do all three, okay?

 

[Handlebar]

I should be able to run some practice laps tomorrow morning (after 7:30 EST), anyone around then?

Shamelessly plagiaristic Steward Recruitment plug follows.

If there's anyone else out there who would like to help enforce the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and promote good racecraft, I have three words for you..

• Do you value clean racing so much that you're willing to help protect and promote it?
• Are you looking for a way to give back to the league and join TEAM S.N.A.I.L.?
• Do you think you might have what it takes to be a S.N.A.I.L. steward?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please PM me!

Kcheeb and zero put so much time and effort to make this league run smoothly and while we're all complaining about a combo, they're doing things like making sure results are up to date, they have to input all drivers data, combo data, and policing the thread all at the same time. I feel like sometimes we take these things for granted, without these two, there would be nothing that we look forward to every Sunday night and I doubt we'd of ever met each other and we wouldn't be the racers that we are today.

So thank you Kcheeb and zero for making this community and keeping things somewhat under control.

While that's certainly one solution, I most definitely wouldn't call it an "even better" solution. To me, an even better solution would be for you to take ownership of your actions and realize that this isn't a personal attack on you. The reason I had to say something is because this isn't the first time you've mentioned someone by name and publicly attacked them on the thread. There is absolutely no possible positive outcome when that happens and usually something negative happens (e.g. one or more people will quit the league).

Rather than you playing the "you think you're so cool" card, why not consider that I have a responsibility to everyone in this league to ensure that this thread doesn't spiral into a drama-filled soap opera. While losing you over this would sadden me, I have to look at the big picture and enforce our rules to ensure a positive future for the league. If drama can destroy friendships and even families, it can most definitely destroy sim racing organizations. For example, did you notice that DBeav12's club closed it's doors recently? Guess what? Drama is one of the things that brought down.

With that in mind, do you think it's in our best interest to welcome drama to our thread or should we try to nip it at the bud? Again, this is not a personal attack on you, Schmiggz. I'm just doing what I feel is in the best interest of all of us, not just what's in the best interest of any one individual. I hope you understand someday. Thanks for reading.

Hitting D1 to work on the Trans-Cammer.

---- done for now ----

 

[Rallywagon]

Okay, with this episode of "As the SNAIL World Turns" over with (I hope), I would like to reintroduce my idea.
Tonight I will not be streaming the races. Instead I will be recording them live. So starting when the room is reset for the first round of qualifying, I will start recording, and end/start recording somewhere inbetween races. Through the rest of the week I will go around and promote the feed and try streaming again next week.

With that said, has anyone made a SNAIL youtube channel? If not, I will be setting one up this evening.

Haha so much awesome! I think I'll save replays then upload them from different perspectives.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I tried the new combos last night for about 30 minutes and have to say I really enjoyed them both, especially the trans cammer.

 

[IceWarden]

I just wanted to throw my controversial thoughts in here...

Someone said earlier that SNAILS were people too. Well....they're not.

Just sayin...tried talking to one in the yard the other day...nothin.

Does an unexpected snort that sprayed coffee all over my iPad count as LoL or something else?

That was pretty funny, Joe!
