I have never been able to figure out why people can't just scroll past the bs. I have this handy thing they came out with in the 90's called a wheel mouse, it makes scrolling extremely easy, however I guess I could see where it might be hard for some to figure out... that stuff is pretty complicated.
As long as it stays in the Gen D I see no issue with it, granted it sometimes gets annoying, but even if I did consider deleting the BS posts (which I never will) do you think many of yours would stay up? Nope... then you have the task of determining what posts are "stupid". To police each topic in the gen d and try to insure they stay on topic would be a difficult task.
Then we could install the report post feature and field emails all day from people complaining about bad posts, I don't like the way such and such looks, etc, etc.... Start deleting posts that were offensive, slightly off color, argumentative, annoying, started by idiots... Well **** we might as well just delete the Gen D cause I think that pretty much eliminates every post that has ever been posted in a truly "general discussion".

calm down mate!
i'm not suggesting that you do anything about it, i just wonder why it is the way it is now?
i know many forums are this way. it's just new to me. on the forum i'm usually at we don't even have a page that tells you how many posts a day/% of total posts, because no one cares. a post***** is something i don't see often. it's weird. (i'm not criticizing your forum)
what does vosko get from making idle threats about deleting posts. ("you better stop or i'll start deleting your posts"-vosko)
i know it's only general discussion here, but you guys seem more into this forum than you do your cars.

I grant you the post*****s can be annoying, not 100% of that reply was directed at you... it has been brought up a few times already this week.
Basically the *****s have settled down, the only ones that annoyed me were the one word bullshit posts.... we just turn off the post count when they get out of hand, that fixes them
