I agree with Steel Beast and the others that there are far too many idiotic posts on here. But this is a discussion board and it only invites that type of stuff. All boards do. Blocking access is hard. Blocking individual IP addresses would be like bailing out the ocean with a bucket. Anyone can get a new IP address form the Internet Service provider, or just use a friend's computer, or another one at the library. Eliminating the chat board would be a disservice to all of us. I disagree strongly with that proposition. Bro's: It is up to us (THE BRO'S) to take care of this board. If you see a dumbass post, don't respond to it. Don't even flame them. Why flame a guy 75 times? All it does is keep the stupidity near the top. Let them drop to the bottom of the board and off of it. Those of you that respond to Theron-type posts are only making the problem worse. It doesn't matter if they post 1000 times - as soon as you see the name of a jackass you know not to respond. If we do this the problem will solve itself. Matt

I'm sending this back up. Pizza Man: This board allows for a lot of expression, and Mr Spellwin has decided to keep it that way. That's his call. I am not trying to decrease the amount of thought sharing that goes on. All I am suggesting is that we don't respond to that which we don't want here. Mr Spellwin's decision to allow broad ranges of expression on his board also permits members to NOT respond to topics, thereby causing them to fall into the realm of the back pages, where they will never be seen again. It's too easy. Matt IP: Logged |

Matt, I wholeheartedly agree. I myself had proposed this approach earlier when Pimply was just beginning to cause problems here. If people here ignore the retarded crap it will disappear. Paranoid scizophrenics thrive on negative attention; once they get it, they're in heaven. While I'm not a mental health professional, a good friend of mine is, and he tells me all the time that reacting harshly to psychotics is counter-productive and sometimes even dangerous. Therefore, ignoring stupidity here will actually do more good than flaming the dumbass who posted some shit in the first place. And by the way, those in charge (MODs, take note) should delete posts that get out of hand. Just my two cents. Peace IP: Logged |
