Members of ClubCalibra.com,
For a change, this isn't a post for which I need discussion - its policy, simple as that.
Whenever someone signs up for a club, its generally because they have a real pride in their possession, be it a car or a stamp! - eitherway, your possession will not always be interpreted as you expect, some may think that it is incredibly ugly or distasteful.
It is a natural element of life for everyone to have an opinion, its however down to the tact of the person expressing it as to whether or not they justify their view constructively.
IF you are willing to post a picture of your Calibra on any website stating 'My Amazing 16v', you are immediately giving out your perception of your own vehicle, and that you're pleased with its look/image BUT PLEASE ACCEPT that
NOT ALL will share that view, they may choose to disagree and for the more intelligent amongst our community, they will justify
WHY they disagree.
My point being, by posting pictures of your car
you are asking for feedback so don't expect it all to be positive but embrace any feedback and take onboard all comments, negative or positive - respond maturely and be the adult, don't throw your toys out of the pram and make yourself look stupid.
On the other hand, for those commenting
think twice before responding with 'urghh, how ugly' and instead respond constructively so as to give the owner some hints, i.e.
"in my opinion the spoiler is too large and doesn't fit the natural shape of the rear boot, its too universal, I would perhaps consider this brand as it would look excellent..."
By being constructive not only do you appear to have considered your reply, but you are showing your maturity and respect for others.
In addition, unlike some websites our moderators are simply normal members such as yourselves, but with powers to police this site and keep it mature, sensible and relevant -
do not criticise them simply because they don't give you a flowery pretty ass-kissing response, and remember that they are only like you, here to discuss the Calibra.
Troublemakers, generally idiots with half a brain cell, incapable of spelling or putting together a sentence, get very quickly banned from this website, hence why we see very little trouble - if you have a problem, approach me directly via PM, do not post childish comments publically that ultimately only make you look ridiculously stupid to other members.
I hope this makes sense, I've built up a great community here and would not like to see it travel downwards and fail, as other 'wannabe' communities have during the past year.
Many thanks,
Cheers, Ash
