Seems like all of a sudden we have gone from a board with civil, legit posts to a few individuals either starting flame wars or converting good strings to flame wars. For my part it is an annoyance....like pop-ups. No redeeming social value. Perhaps if ignored these people they would find someplace else to waste bandwidth and archieve space.

The trouble makers get their enjoyment from
reading the responses to their statements. The
most effective way to get them to leave is to
ignore them. No responses are no fun for them.

I agree. I have a Durango and belong to the DOC. I scan the Dak board due to the similarities in motors, etc. We don't seem to have this problem on the DOC forum. Seems like maybe the older folks drive the Durango's, and the younger crowd drives the Dakota. If I didn't have a wife and 2 toddlers I would be in a Dak instead of a D.

I'm almost to the point of not even visiting here anymore. It's getting ridiculous. I hate to say this but if Mark, started charging everyone to even visit, there wouldn't be 1/10th of the BS, and in that case I would definitely join, but as for now with 75% f the posts, being jut plain stupid, count me out.
I know most, non member won't agree with me but I'm sorry to say but this site has really gone down hill in the past few months.

What we need are a few good moderators that are not afraid to to use the delete key.

I think you should have to register to get
on the boards, but if you wanted to take advantage of other things such as group buys
and stuff. You should pay the membership.
On the other hand I am also a member in
ASOG (Avenger Sebring Owners Group) and
we don't have to pay membership, just register.
And we don't have any of that flamer crap that
I see in here. As long as we ignore it though
they might go elsewhere. Its just hard to not say anything though when someone talks sh&* about something you love such as our Daks. You know sometimes you just have to be more witty than your opponent to make them shut up.

Pretty bad when you can't even make one comment ar give an opinion about anything without some lame brain ripping you a new one because you're stupid, no nothing about cars and a total loser.
Until the irrational behavior ceases, I'm not going to join either. Such is a shame, they could get a lot more financial support from people like us if they would drive out the flame throwing arrogant jerks that give this site a bad name.
I frequent other Dodge forums as well as several home theater forums and have never seen behavior like this.
Just my two cents.

I agree with Michael.
You sould have to register with one user name. Instead of multiple personalities with changing names like mad dak. I think this spurrs some of this activity, there is no accountability to a single user, you can be whoever you want.
I use many other forums(hunting and dakotas), and don't see this kind of activity. This is why I suggest a registration. There are some great forum programs out there.

The way the Durango club does part of their club site is by sending out a password every month. As long as you are a member, you are on the e-mail list and get the password. They do not require that for the forum however, and still do not get the problems I see here. They also have moderators though that edit and delete inappropriate material.

I am one of the people that joined a year ago and never received any of the material offered with membership. I have not complained about that since I have enjoyed participating in the forums. But for the price of membership I did hope the people not interested in valid posts would disappear as suggested by Dr. D.
