Misuse of the word "ghetto". Funny considering they are trying to rid the site of people who use slang and bad grammer but the poster of the sign is ignorant in their own right. Just because someone is "ghetto", yes thats a slang term, doesn't mean they fit the criteria for which the admin are trying to rid the site of. Look above, racsirx and JohnCM are proof of that.
There has to be a better way to go about it. I think everyone on the site is aware of who should not be here and over time the site will get back to where it was 4 or 5 years ago.

We are talking a Mustang community not some high end Porsche/Audi site. I am old school ghetto, I had 22s on my Escalade and on my 745, I use to swing donuts in my Mustang, who hasn't it's a Mustang? I still have two 12s in my GT and when it hits the streets again, you will hear me playing my old school Too Short, Easy E, and some N.W.A., so I shouldn't be on here?

The word is so watered down though, the youngins took it in a completely different direction. When people say "ghetto" this is what I think of (what Lee posted). But I guess once it seeped into the sub-urbs there is now a new meaning.
I think the sign should say "No Ignorance".

I agree with this too. But keep in mind, how a community such as this thrives is by attracting new members. And new members do not necessarily know the climate here. So off top without knowing the pretense behind the sign, it could turn potential quality people away. Just a thought.

couldn't have said it better +1 i been on this board a long long time and never have i seen something so stupid as to that ghetto sign on this board.The bottom line is everyone is different nobody is the same person.We are all mustang enthusiasts in the end.

i think that everyone is over thinking this. from what i gauge from that sign is that they no longer want people creating pointless and stupid topics. they also dont want people getting into pissing matches threating eachother. nobody cares about your spelling!

Makes sense since that is the intention right?
Since slang does not have universal definitions some may think that where someone is from predicts values and actions. The ghetto is a physical place, a neighborhood.
To say were against the ghetto means we are against poor, run down or perhaps dangerous areas.
No one on this site wants to deal with some low life car theif lurking over our property. We can be more clear about what we don't want.

Pay no attention to the sign. In the end anyone who wants to join or post will do it no matter what!! A thieve is not going to be on this site because of a small sign. A "Ghetto" individual will not join/post on this site because of the sign either. It's just a tacky/ugly looking sign that hopefully will not be there for long and things will get back to the norm...or not.
On that note, Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!!
