Weird people signing up with fake names etc...always trying to start trouble.
I mean for christ-sake it is a moto forum,it is here for fun to talk about the sport, not to start trouble.
Use your regular name,if you get banned then take your ban like a man and come back if allowed.
I've used this same name on mototalk & here on vital for years,a lot of people know my real name,who cares.
But some people feel they need to hide and cause problems on here and get others worked up,for unknown reasons.

Way to many asswipes in this place now............No disrespect to GuyB, he does a great job, but dare I say, MotoNews eliminates a good percentage of douchebags..........Its just like Walmart and the cheap seats at the races, the trash has a way of taking over.............On a side note, its a great place to lurk now, the show is awesome!!!!!!!

Implode? Really?

Sundays after races are rough. It looks sort of like a dirt clod fight among the various rider's fans. That's when I roll in a dumpster and mop and bucket, and do some housecleaning.

The rest of the week is usually pretty good. Scottie hosts bench racing on Saturdays that's pretty awesome.

"Keeps it totally in control" how ironic that my nickname is "out of control" Cool

I really wish we could implement that plan ALL week long. Saturdays are so rad, and the board is used for what it is actually interned for, good old fashioned bench racing!

We have a really good group of guys that are fully into it and we have a great time, but the minute the race is over, it all goes out the window and the fanboys come with their flags waving.

Somedays the whole negative "vibe" of the board gets really old, its about time for a change. The most ridiculous thing is how some members insist on bashing riders in order to get back at other members, its really time to put an end to that.

Well that is my two cents worth.

What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

too many immigrants. You know a new land doesn't need too many rules and government control when it is growing and taking shape, individual freedom of choice and speech work then, but at some point in its history, when there's way too many people, from way too many different horizons, cultures, education, beliefs, ideals, then you need to put some back in the boat or establish a stronger (federal) government and laws to control the madness and extreme behavior, disrespect of others...

This place is gaining some popularity. I suggest it's the biggest mx-forum in the world right now (congrats GuyBee)?

This means more people sign up and the muppets feeling bad = behaves bad, which often ends up in them make more noise than those feeling good about themselves. No point in screaming if you feel satisfied is it?

So the more popular this place becomes, the more cleaning is necessary...

I could be wrong though...

maybe we could have a rule where new users have their own section, and can't post in here until 3 months.

Could help slow down the idiots getting on here and posting crap straight up

very good point.

i recently read an article that outlined just that...

basically, that the majority of "posts" on the internet are negative or voicing displeasure in something is actually a fact. The reason being is that people that are satisfied or happy about things usually don't feel compelled to voice themselves...
This ends up making us look very negative as a whole while the reality is that the overall population is not as negative as the internet would make us out to be...

when i posted this the front page looked terrible, it was like a war zone.... didn't seem like a place one would come to bench race with like minded, friendly people. ...it just struck a nerve with me.

I used to struggle with deleting posts, or users. My tolerance for overly vocal noobs who come in and expect the forum to tolerate their nonsense is shorter. Much, much, shorter. Smile

Tnx for pointing that out and now I feel ever more appealed to this being the case. I have to say that it was a very smart author of that article! LOL!

So the spin off is then if unattended, it's a self regulated system. I mean the more muppets, the less popularity. GuyBee needs a bigger broom to for this place to grow even further! Smile

If you look at any news sites where people are allowed to post comments pertaining to the posted article the vast majority are negative - very negative and more often than not several posters will start trading personal insults.

I guess the keyboard is the home based equivalent of the steering wheel - once behind it normal people turn in to asshats.

Problem is a lot of this garbage is created by "old users" who find it fun to start new user names to cause trouble.

Motonews has eliminated a lot of their users, period. They have four days worth of threads on the first page. Who saw that coming? Haha

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you had to have joined before a certain date, that would eliminate that as well.
