Cleaning and gleaning the nailed threads, What would have me do, if anything? Options

[Pat Garvey]

In light of the nearly constant carping from ONE particular member to "cull the heard" of some nailed section(s) posts, I ask several questions:

1. Are there too many posts/threads that should be un-nailed?
2. Who should decide if they are inappropriate to the topic?
3. If, after deemed inappropriate to the thread/forum, should they me simply deleted? Should they be moved to some sort of limbo for aperiod of time before deletion?
4. Should they just be sent to the "limbo" category forever?
5. If sent to "limbo", should the posts be left there indefinitely? There are many anomolies to the early production 914's. These are old cars. Production of the early ones was filled with on-the-spot changes.
6. Many other questions........

Look, I'm just trying to do my job here. I do not know everything about every model produced. I will NOT be the judge of every post. I "moderate". That's all.

In the rare occasion that something is inappropiate I have moved threads.

Last thing I want is for my buds to be p_ssed off at me for my lack of knowledge of every 914 ever produced, in any iteration. Again, my job is to MODERATE.

Guidance please!

What I don't understand is why we (the O&H guys) have to make it so difficult for both seasoned, long term forum members and (especially) "newbies" who have just come aboard and are looking for how their particular 914s should look to return them to OEM configuration.

Pretend with me here for a minute......say you just bought a nice, but modestly modified 1972 914/4 and you want to know what you need to change/fix/replace to make it look original. Where are you going to look? Multiple "Nailed" threads that may or may not have the information (especially photos) that pertain to your specific model year? Frustration may very well set in after scrolling through multiple pages of just one thread and not finding what you need to know. Now our information seeker needs to go to the next nailed thread and scroll through another series of pages, hoping to find information in that thread.
And on, and on, and....

And then there is the very good"The few, the rare.." thread, but do our forum members even think to look there? And if they do, once again, scroll, scroll, scroll, with no guarantee that this thread will have the info that they are seeking.

Why is it so hard to have the nailed threads comprised of specific model years, consisting of photos and concise information with regard to that specific area displayed in the photos. A format that I have tried to illustrate with my recent 1970 "inspection" of my own car is the type of thread which I believe would serve the purpose of this O&H Forum best.

The very recent post by Tom with regards to the 1971/4, and the numerous photos of Pats' extremely original '72/4 could both be excellent starting points for their respective model years.

..........just sayin'.
