Default YES there is something that can be done

The irony of morons like that posing as people who know anything about the game at all is not lost on me either.
What you have a is a bunch of guys who never start threads about anything, because they don't have any original thoughts or enough knowledge of the game to say anything worthwhile. What these guys do is read threads looking for fault with something that someone says. They contribute ZERO to the place yet try to assasinate others who do. They are the very worst type of trolls on the net, the kind who attempt to masquerade as non trolls. At least the trolls who come out and admit they are trolls have the guts to do that.
There is nothing more useless than folks who never have anything relevant or educational to say, who just sit around reading threads attempting to find fault with those who do.
But you can't blame Steve NC Tony, asking him to sit around all day long and monitor every thread is not reasonable.
He would have to Ban People from the board. Repeat offenders should be banned. It's his board and he can do that. He has other monitors as well. If he wants, I could be his policeman.lol

If you want you can take it private. Just determine who are the accpetable posters, contact them all, and start you own private club that is not open to the public. I believe the technology exists to do this and then you won't have to wade through any unacceptable threads/posts.

Since this is a public moderated forum it gets a little messy at times and you do have to spend some time wading through stuff that doesn't always have the highest value. I think each person has certain types of stuff that interest them and causes them to post, and not all posts of every poster are constructive.

I personally am not in favor of more police activity and more banning. I think the current balance is about right.

ArlingtonJim,

You're correct. I don't want to bother with that(policing) either. I'll just lurk and chime in when I find something worthwhile and sift through the junk. What was I thinking. I should have known better than to even think it.

This site has grown real fast, so ironing out the kinks is something that will take some time.

Steve, you got a lot of supporters on this site including me. ( You should know that already)

NC Tony
