We are being KILLED in this section with so much work we cant keep up... every single day there are tons of threads posted in here that are not even fabrication related... We have tried everything and this sticky im going to link you to has been there since april right after we started this section... yet nobody seems to be reading it and nobody seems to know what fabrication is... The sticky will explain it to you in better detail what WE are looking for... PLEASE read it... this section is in jeopardy of going away if things dont start to go correct NOW...

Definition from Wiki...

Fabrication as an industrial term refers to building metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling. The cutting part of fabrication is via sawing, shearing, or chiseling (all with manual and powered variants); torching with handheld torches (such as oxy-fuel torches or plasma torches); and via CNC cutters (using a laser, torch, or water jet). The bending is via hammering (manual or powered) or via press brakes and similar tools. The assembling (joining of the pieces) is via welding, binding with adhesives, riveting, threaded fasteners, or even yet more bending in the form of a crimped seam. Structural steel and sheet metal are the usual starting materials for fabrication, along with the welding wire, flux, and fasteners that will join the cut pieces. As with other manufacturing processes, both human labor and automation are commonly used. The product resulting from (the process of) fabrication may be called a fabrication. Shops that specialize in this type of metal work are called fab shops. The end products of other common types of metalworking, such as machining, metal stamping, forging, and casting, may be similar in shape and function, but those processes are not classified as fabrication.

 

Is building a Snorkle out of poop pipe considered fabrication?

I don't think so.

BUMP! (It's already at the top...)

 

Hopefully this will work this time around lol

 

hopefully but its been posted before and still no one reads stickies or rules

i was tring to report post that didnt belong and still do to some extent but it got frustrating and i learned to just scan for things im interested in seeing

really its sad if a section has to be deleted do to people not reading section rules

i still stand by want i said in a ealier post on this that the Fab section needs to have a limit to who can post a new thread like For Sale section has
you can read and reply but no new thread without meeting the criteria

perhaps a Fab section thread starter application lol

 

I get to bump a thread with out a infraction? Im game!

 

Bump insurance please

 

X2!

Possibly put another mod on the fab section or do y'all, the mods, want us to just report posts?

Travis, is there a way we can force new users to read through tutorials/rules BEFORE being able to post? Maybe talk to IB about it?

 

I'd just say give all users moderator privledges. Then they could just delete them as they went along.

 

bump

 

That might be a bit of overkill, LOL! Could you imagine the chaos!
You'd have people deleting threads because they dont like the tires the OP runs, color of his rig, energy drink he prefers, LOL!
On a serious note though, from my view we only have two or three active moderators. The forum continues to grow, has any thought been given to increasing the number of moderators? Just a thought.

 

Good Mods are hard to find. It's a thankless, volunteer job, that no one wants to see until there's a problem.

 

In another forum i belong to the mods have to approve the thread before it can even be posted in the fab section

 

the build thread is catching a decent amount of misposting a well.
thanks for cleaning up one of my favorite sections guys

 

lol we all really need to start getting on those who post in the wrong section, Mod or not. Especially us experienced members, if we get on every wrong post eventually everyone will figure out "well if i post this wrong everyone's gonna yell at me" lmao

 

Bump
