The worst thing about this place is the general lack of understanding of bench racing. 

In bench racing you basically tell outlandish stories or opinions to your buddies and back them up with logical facts that may or may not support your position and then your buddies go even more outlandish. Here if you have any kind of opinion you are asked what sized helmet you wore on the short buss. Too much anger in posting around here.

Bench racing is one thing, and it should be ruthless, but when someone starts blasting that they can't stand the people that support another rider and don't want to hear it, and clearly have themselves in a knot over it, that is a buzz kill.

The part that drives me nuts is when you start a topic and it may be about a particular rider and even though you like the rider the idiots who suck at reading comprehension call you a "Hater." I made a thread about AP having crap luck in choosing brands and getting on a bike in the wrong part of it's development cycle and I got called everything but a flag waving good ol country boy. The bad thing is I really like him and root for him.

Antagonizing down voters is a sport onto itself, but aside from wishing inquiries about where to find parts for a 2018 bike and things of that nature were relegated to its own forum area, I’ve accepted any race related nonsense. I do wish people could lay off with the crass “nut hugger” and “fanboy” style comments, it’s just juvenile.

I enjoy most of the banter. But I do agree with some of what you said. 
 

I’ve seen it done on other forums over the years and it works well preventing a lot of the dumb posts. New accounts can’t post or start a new thread until they have 100 posts or even just 50.

Vital is way better than most, I’d guess that 80% of the posts are from actual riders. The trolls are annoying but they haven’t ruined the place yet!

God forbid you throw up a good ole fashioned “Bear” picture or “Wat” picture and all the new “contributors” loose their minds! Shit the Bears used to be half the fun and the best way to “down vote” a thread that had derailed.

As someone who grew up racing moto in SoCal since I was 5, I like to log on, say my two cents, then log out. Although sometimes I chime in on dumbass posts after a few cocktails lol

It’s bad recently. I’ve said this in other threads, there are 5 (on the low side) accounts that post in almost every single thread on this forum that contribute absolutely nothing except for nonsense. The same tone every time (always negative, contrarian, etc) conspiracy theory-esc. 
 

I would seriously support a block user function on vital. These idiots get off on the engagement they farm from posting ridiculous shit all the time. 

Don't take this the wrong way. Welcome to ... eh.... 2007 (or 2012 or 1998 or ...). It's the internet. Mints dickheads by the minute.

On the other-hand…we’ve got threads that take us back to the days of Maicos and CanAms racing around the hills of wine country.

Go check out the Motocross and Supercross Fans (Banned by FCool page on Facebook. It used to be MX/SX Fight Club, I believe was the name. Vital members are Mensa candidates compared to those guys.

It's the serial whiners that do literally nothing but complain that do my head in, everything else I can tolerate.

I'd vote yes for an ignore function.

An ignore function would be heaven, but let the user know they've been ignored by someone.

The default ignore function for me is just to not visit some days. It’s getting more and more frequent that I just don’t bother sometimes..

the hate posts are so much more frequent here as of late, I guess it’s easier to post a negative message than a positive one anymore.

Unfortunately, that seems not to be just a vital problem but a global crisis. I feel like the amount of dumb I encounter is at an all time high. Walk into an autozone to get windshield wiper fluid & they'll ask you "make model & year of vehicle."
 

And the kid asking could not point out an alternator or a starter with it already installed on the car.

Vital is the king of banning people for speech. That’s why vital is the best. Free speech is over rated. I prefer to be told what to say and think by a corporation. 
 

by the way, my Apple phone is working great out there and my Verizon service keeps me in the loop. I also want to thank Haines underware, Colgate toothpaste, and charmin toilet paper for keeping me behind the keyboard.

Wait... what??? What's this "by comparison" stuff?  I thought Vital members pretty much defined Mensa?
