@Admin Look, I know the mods and yourself have lives and can't deal with every little thing, but this forum is a sh*t show on the reg. You want to let people say whatever they want and that is admirable, but a line should be drawn when it disrupts the forums.
In the "New Research Forum", there are always users who don't even bother to read the research, trolling the thread with "This is never gonna work because it didn't in the 80s and you're all retards for believing such." Users explain why the present is different and said person continues to prat on with his/her worn out arguments. If you don't believe anything is ever going to work and have no serious discussion to contribute, maybe stop posting? We also have naysaying threads that basically only serve as an off-topic battleground. This kind of thing gets you banned on even the smallest of forums.
Gatton and Vincent are banned for bothering mods and questioning the site's integrity, but FoucaultII and Farkhairloss (raised suspicion as being the same) are able to badger me and I think hellouser as well, constantly. I've tried and thought I succeeded to amicably resolve this via PM with the former user, but he's right back to the steady stream of childish dislikes and hostile posts. Reporting them seems to do nothing. No one should need to put people on their ignore list because they are constantly ganged up on by them and it isn't really going to resolve the collateral issues anyway — these people should be dealt with.
This forum is the very best place on the web to read about new technology and chat with other people suffering from a condition that above all, damages self-image. Yet, we have users and threads mainly in the new research forum, screaming that everyone is a dumbass for believing in science or having a different opinion regarding it along with blatant trolls creating hostility — seemingly without consequence.
