Long winded posts get quickly skimmed past.

Especially if they have a history of posting them.

Sounds right. ML not capable of any sort of discernment. I know I know….he too busy taking photos.

Sounds about right. 

Still upset because you got a week timeout?

Makes me wonder how many of the complaints ML gets stem from political posts. I don’t know ML personally, but I think he’s got enough on his plate that if there weren’t any complaints about political posts, he probably wouldn’t care. I could be wrong but I’d bet 2 beers and a bag of chips if people could scroll by without getting butthurt and running to the principal’s office this ban wouldn’t even be a thought.  What’s the real problem, anonymous guys arguing about politics online ? Or guys complaining to ML about the guys arguing about politics online ? I blame the crybaby’s who don’t have the willpower to ignore shit that pisses them off and move on.  Just a theory. 🤷‍♂️

I get somewhere in the range of 20-30 email reports a day just from non-moto/political threads. And honestly, 90% of it is the way people speak to each other.

constant feeds on your phone all day too. Easier to let something bug you if you don't have time to settle down before engaging again.

The people that complain to you, can we just get rid of them? 🤣

Wow, 20-30 a day?  I only submit 6-8 per day….

😎

Seriously, though, I think in the 20ish years of MD/VitalMX I could count all of the times I’ve sent a request to review a post on one hand and still have a couple of fingers left over. And none of those were because someone was mean to me!

I can honestly say I have NEVER filed a complaint or email to ML. How is it done anyway? 🤔😂

We need some context here. 

If he is getting 20-30 complaints a day from Non moto....well...how many is he getting from moto? 5? 100?

Maybe you had a German mom like me.

Back seat of the car:

I can see why ML would kill off politics if there is that much pushback.   

 

 It feels like most of the political  threads don't even have that many people actively posting in them .   Crazy he gets so many complaints .   

I might have tried messaging somebody when I saw one of those spam attacks . But other than that, I have spent enough days around a track to know that shit talking is just a part of the deal. And know from the exposer to my mothers time in the media , that anytime you share an opinion to a large group your gonna piss somebody off. And people are gonna say some mean things.  I really don't think anybody has ever said anything that I would describe as mean. But even if I did I wouldn't bother reporting anybody.

Do we really even see 100 plus different people in non-moto each day? It has to be the same people repeatedly over and over. I can post a pic of my dog and get down votes so how much of a stretch is it to believe it's the same dainty group making multiple complaints. The #s make no sense.

20-30 reports a day?

That's insane

I think I've sent about 2 reports ever, and I never downvote even though Michael's downvote hiding comments system has been surprisingly effective. 

I've also never posted under a another name.

Settle it on the track, no reason to call the cops.

"Michael's downvote hiding comments system"

Not my system; it was introduced while I was away from Vital for a few years.

Are you kidding me? That's insane...How many of those are from the same people over and over again?  Maybe the easy answer is to just ban those people, and you'll stop getting complaints, and won't have to police non-moto as much?  Smile

I stand corrected, still more effective than I expected especially in moto related.

So clicking the 3 vertical buttons and hitting “Report Inappropriate Content” generates an email?  Then I want to report Manny. He’s never invited me on a ride. That’s just inappropriate.

In all fairness, Cool Hand Luke was reporting 20+ posts a day all by himself….!

I don’t recall ever emailing a complaint since ML took the reins, but I think a couple of times when GuyB was el Jefe and someone had a complete meltdown and needed to just go away for awhile. They had to be pretty extreme, though.

I happen to enjoy a lot of the political discussions. ML listed the rules and some on here just can't help but being dicks. So fuck you for fucking shit up for me. Also fuck the complainers. 20-30 a day? How many fuckin rats are there on this forum?  Maybe click those assholes too. The goddam dentist was more fun than this!

I reported a poster ONE time. Can't remember his screen name.

He was blizzarely aggressive,  psychopath in nature calling other members "fags".

Either he was a nut or was amusing himself at how long he could go before he was banned. 

Human beings do this don't they? Amuse themselves by being annoying to see how long it takes before someone bans them.

If I understand correctly only Michael has the ability to ban people and Maverick doesn't
