Folks, discussion of these ongoing shutdowns is VERY IMPORTANT to those who are involved in them. I am going to demand that the utmost of respect is given to this subject when it is being discussed in the 2008 Shutdown Forum.
And in closing, to address comments made regarding language, this is a forum for truck drivers. This is not a forum for kids. If someone uses some occasional foul language, so be it. This isn't the Disney Channel. However, if this becomes abused and/or if someone is doing it too much, we will talk to that person privately.
If you have a problem with a post, report it. All you have to do is go to the post in question, and click on this icon -
, and give a description of your issue with the post. This works much better than fighting within a thread. As soon as a thread is reported, the staff here will be notified.
Why was this post made? Because we are trying to offer you a powerful and lenient tool within this forum to get the word out on these shutdowns, and much of that potential power is being wasted by unneeded arguing, off topic posts, and possibly a lack of understanding of how the forums work (for those who are new to forums). If you don't understand something, ask us. Just click the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page, and I will do my best to answer your questions.
- If you want to talk against the idea of a shutdown, do it in one of the many other forums we have here.
- If you want to talk about politicians and oil, do it in one of our other forums, unless the actual topic is directly related to the shutdown. In most cases, while it is generally related because high oil costs = high fuel costs, the topics are not directly related to Shutdown Discussion. So please, continue with posting these things, but lets keep it out of the 2008 Shutdown Forum.
- The long thread - I killed it. Trying to follow the discussion in that thread was simply giving me a headache. There had to be at least 50 different topics being discussed, and none of them getting the attention they deserve.
- Make a new thread for new topics - If there is a topic to be discussed regarding these shutdowns, make a new thread for it rather than just responding to something unrelated.
