i dont care if i get banned for life for saying this , but ill try and hold back my anger and wont say names
but i and many many many others feel this way....there have been people who go to every post in this forum, and post stupid and pointless comments and/or ask questions taht are easily answered by using a 4th grade reading level and vocabulary
i am sick of reading through a post of, for example, a car for sale and having my time wasted by reading useless crap about someone not knowing to read....and for it wasting bandwith slowing down this forum....
it goes something like this:
seller of car: ... hi im selling my 19XX rx7....im looking for 15000 dollars, it is located in phili,PA .... its got xxxxx miles and this and that mods
nice np.com member 1: hot car i wish i had the money
nice np.com member 2: ive been in that car and can vouch its so badass and worth it!!
idiot who takes up time and space: awesome!!!!!! HOW MUCH UW ANT I GOT MONEY FOR A FD but i need to know how much and where u livez!!! PEACEZ!
nice np.com member 1: he already said how much it costs read up
nice np.com member 3: and he also said he lives in phili
can we please do something about this?!?
im trying to get my voice out on this subject ---- if it must be then ban me. i dont care. but at least ill go out braveheart style trying to save this community before it gets all its bandwith stolen from pointelss posts and turns into a 100% downtime forum like rx7club.com

i went through the board today and counted 4 times when a certain member asked a question or made a comment when the answer was IN FRONT OF THEIR FACE IF THEY READ THE POSTS ABOVE

FYI the bandwidth argument is worthless, when the posts are just text the bandwidth usage increase is insignificant, when the ********* have animated full screen signatures you start having issues.
but yes, it's simply annoying, but I don't think 'rules' or 'banning' is the correct way to deal with it.
Just ignore them or tell them whats on your mind, eventually they will either shape up or leave.
