I'll say this first that this isn't a question, but I really do hope anyone who joins this forum and community reads this and appreciates this valuable community.
I have been on this forum for almost a whole year and during this time I was present on other forums too (car related). People will always have differing opinions, but what is important is tolerating those differing opinions and saying what is in the interest of the person asking a question/seeking help. Also, the goal of the moderators/administrators should be helping too and not making profit. My account was recently put under review on a different forum because I advised someone to not buy a used truck because brand new was better in any aspect. The OP actually went ahead and bought new and thanked for the advice, but on that forum someone had their profit in the used truck in question and when I advised against it my comments started being removed and when I showed this is happening I became accused of hostility and being not civilized for bringing this up against a so-called administrator.
What was important for me was that I was able to help someone make a better decision. But why I am saying this here is because on this forum anyone who states an opinion or thought or suggestion is stating it to help and nobody is after their own financial benefit from what they say. Posts don't get removed or edited unless it's against the community guidelines of being respectful and proper language etc. There is no unwritten guideline of "your post will be removed because of personal or financial reasons".
Those who have been here for a while definitely know this, but for those who are new please know that everyone here wants to truly help you make a right decision about your question and what is beneficial to you. If you receive an opinion you don't like please know it's still with the intention to help. This is a true community and forum which wants to help so do appreciate it and take benefit of this valuable resource.
If you want to find corruption, look at the government. You won't find it here.
I take look at some car forums from time to time. Sometimes folk doesn't get any proper help because members give incorrect advices and no one is correcting them like here.
