I need to vent a little here.
It is my observation that the number of categories is a real problem on this site. Half the threads in NCV3 for example are also applicable to VS30 and vice versa. They probably overlap T1N for all I know as well, although I don't venture in there. And then you have the 4x4 subforums with no discipline of limiting those discussions to 4x4 issues. Likewise many thread in the various model forums are about upfitting, and of course there's a separate category for that too. Build threads are scattered all over the place with little rhyme or reason. I was pretty darn confused when I first looked at this site and didn't even know anything about the model numbers. Which leads me to an example of why I say even the mods are confused.
I recently posted a thread in the Sprinter section about a situation I was having with a dealer taking what I considered to be way too long to fix a few minor problems. Yes, the van was a VS30. However, nothing in my post was in any way specific to the VS30. I wanted visibility of everyone who's ever dealt with dealer service to see if my problem resonated with them and if they had advice. In that spirit, I cannot imagine how the moderator thought it would be useful to move my post to VS30. This is the second time I've had a post of mine moved for what I feel was an erroneous reason and it's starting to piss me off. BTW, my van is a 4x4. So if you're really so offended that I posted a generic topic about my VS30 4x4 in Sprinters, then you should have put it in the VS30 4x4 area. Putting into the less specific VS30 area is at least as wrong as me putting into the Sprinter area. It's ridiculous. I ask that you put my post back in the Sprinter forum and please think twice before moving my posts because apparently I'm paying a little closer attention to my categories than you are. Or feel free to explain why the VS30 is a better place for it if you disagree. Here's the post. https://sprinter-source.com/forums/index.php?threads/91739/
Thank you.
