It may be a Ford but she still is purty.

Rust bubbles or water? Don't be rust. Don't be rust.

Both. Actually, I think that's just a bad paint job. Though now that I look right above the front tire... Might be rust. And there was water, too, because it was raining today. I didn't get to look for too long though because I was on my way back to my office from lunch.

That is a sweetheart there.

The LTD hood ornament is an interesting touch.

It was a bad paint job when they decided on that color.

That's a shame. At least it's being enjoyed.

I like all old school trucks

They're all great. It was a bad joke..

The terms "Slick", "Bumpside" and "Dentside" are all Ford truck specific.

awww, I like it! It's unusual. And I like the contrast.

Ahhhhhhhhhh

I actually like it as well. The bad joke came to mind and I felt obligated to use it.

The reuse of the darker color on the cab totally makes it.

That emblem was used on '73-79 XLT models.

I've always thought 73-79 F series used this ornament. The pictured truck has one that looks like it's off of a 73-76 LTD.

I found both emblems listed for the series. I does not go into detail of what levels had which emblem. If you find out more details, let me know.

The horizontal one you show is "73-79 F-100, F-250, F-350".

The vertical one is "76-79 F-100, F-250, F-350".

FYI. When you comment on posts you deem racist or sexist you have a tendency to exacerbate and escalate a situation beyond where it would have originally been. Based on your comment history of recent it appears as if you are seeking out posts and labeling them as offensive to cause issues. I wanted to remind you that if you see a post that you feel is offensive you can always email us at oppomoderator@gmail.com or flag the post or even reach out to us on an older post of ours. We have the tools and abilities to correct the situation of it needs correcting. That is our job as moderators and is what we have signed up for. Most of our issues from the past few days have been related to you trying to moderate the forum by purposefully being confrontational. At the same time other commenters respond to you and are themselves confrontational; that is expected and they are being felt with. I won’t mince words with you here so I’ll just state my intent; stop. Stirring. Shit. Knock it off. You arbitrarily stating a post is racist or sexist does not make it so. It isn’t your responsibility to correct behavior on this forum. Take a step back and use the processes we have established to correct what you see are issues. If the mods don’t take action on an issue then we more than likely decided there was no need for intervention. Again, please let us do the moderating.

Speaking of off topic shit stirring...

Did you have a question or need clarification?

Or is this more in line with my behavior on the front page? :3

This is how we communicate with users who brought up concerns to us.

Look for an old post and leave a comment. How’d you even find this?

If you have a problem with it, please advise an alternative

Same way you did, I’m guessing? Same way as the people who starred party vi’s original comment to me? Why does it matter?

Aside: how are ya, snap? Having a good day? Anymore snapisms lately?

Well, let’s see.... Previously mods have said comments were fine as long as they weren’t ad homimen. And emails sent to y’all tend to get deleted or “lost.” That doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the mod team in general.

But as for this, “[your comments tend to] escalate a situation beyond where it would have originally been.” So... what? I’m supposed to sit back and take it? Sorry, I can’t do that.

Contrary to your assumptions, though, I don’t go rifling through Oppo looking for shit to get upset about. I browse Oppo here and there like most other Oppos: during a free moment at work, when I’m killing time running errands, relaxing at home, etc. That I run across so much random sexist/racist/both racist and sexist bullshit during casual browsing says more about Oppo than it does my browsing habits.

I’ll ask you the same question I asked Hammerhead the other day: are you trying to silence me?

Anyway, I’m sure Hammerhead didn’t believe me when I told him this the other day, and you probably won't, either but, I thank you for your time and I hope you have a great weekend.

It doesn’t really matter in the end.

I’m doing great actually. Life is fun and I enjoy living it.

Yeah, there are snapisms. Feel free to scour through my history to find them; they’re public

a group of the moderators have been discussing this for a bit and weighing options and looking to adopt a method to address topics like these, and the reactions to them. And though we understand that topics like these are frustrating, infuriating and incite passion, we do expect everyone here to behave like rational adults. Even if they have shown themselves time and time again that they are incapable, that is still the expectation.

With this in mind, I’d like to suggest that perhaps you approach these situations from the perspective of embodying the change you want to see in the world. For example instead of leaping to ‘How’s “racist as fuck”for a colloquialism?’ perhaps a comment to the effect of “I’m not sure if you realized it, but terms such as ‘mexipoke’ are just as capable of being offensive as many of the other derogatory terms that you definitely wouldn’t use here.” We don’t want to silence you, or your voice, but we’d rather redirect some of that passion and fire into something more productive and perhaps try to build relationships and the community into being something closer to what we (and hopefully that includes you) want the community to ultimately be.

Snap summed up our feelings quite well.

All I can offer is that if you do not feel as if we are moderating this forum in a manner that aligns with your wants and desires you are free to start your own kinja blog and moderate it as you see fit. Until then we will continue to try to keep everyone in line with the Handbook and our guidelines.

Nah, I’m not interested in forming a surrogate Oppo that’s mostly just content that either gets shared to or shared from Oppo. ^_~

But the handbook... I *am* interested in the Oppo handbook. Y'all have a provision there about not tolerating sexism. I keep asking y'all if you're serious about that or not. No one seems willing to answer.

Yes, we are serious about not tolerating sexism.

The issue seems to be that there are differing opinions on what constitutes sexism and what does not.

We have asked repeatedly that you not take it upon yourself to combat the things that you perceive as sexist, and instead take a milder approach with those commenters or alert the mods via proper channels. You have said you “can’t do that” which is frustrating to us because the aggressive confrontations are what cause the most problems.

We are not silencing you. All we are asking is that you act in ways that are not disruptive, and contemplate for a moment if the pictures or words that tick YOU off are actually things that need wider attention.

If you are still unable/unwilling to operate this way, something else will have to be done. We have spent the better part of a week, close to 100 messages back and forth, discussing this so do not think that we say this lightly.
