Perhaps im getting older and more cynical but it seems this forum has drastically changed since as little as 5 years ago.

There seems to have been an influx of threads about blacks/browns/took our jobs/raped our wives and threads like how long do I microwave socks and eastern European camgirl girlfriend meeting threads etc...
Oh and that ******* meme person. :confused:

Now im not complaining and I strongly believe in free speach (within family freindly reason) this is just my observation and some threads are really rather ammusing. I spend lots and lots of time browsing this froum and have done for nearly 11 years :eek:, some of you guys who have been here a while have you noticed a change or do I have rose tinted glasses and have spent too much time in Motors.

Did it used to be all sugar and spice?
 
No, it used to be worse, it's just in the last 6 months the Dons were doing a good job of cleaning up the retard RSS feed threads but it appears 'free speech' is now the name of the game and the usual trolls/suspects are taking full advantage.
 
I've not been here too long, but yes the standard of threads has dropped greatly since I joined.

You get the usual thread of awesomness, but most of it is just tripe generally.

Oh and, what Rich said.
 
Probably in correlation with the rise in the amount of people who think it's fine to blame all of our problems on immigrants.
 
It seems that it is a recent thing as Rich L pointed out.

Maybe the return of DD and his entourage have something to do with it?
 
Past 3-4 months I have noticed an increase in the number of religious/border line racist threads.

All you have to do is not click on them.

I don't want to stop anyone from having an opinion. :)
 
There are a bunch of thick retarded racist ***** on this forum at times. In my opinion the dons don't do anywhere near enough to stop it. I remember the eid mubarak thread that was trolled to ****. If that was the christmas thread there would be mayhem
 
The mods dont do nothing to stop the racist threads at all. I remember the eid mubarak thread getting trolled to ****. If that was the christmas thread there would be mayhem.
 
It's always the same people doing it too, yet they won't ban them.

Its not so much the case of banning people providing they are not seriously inciting hatred or personally attacking members, as I said I beleive that people are entitled to an opinion. Its just the large rise in these threads that have supprised me.

Also the funny/strange/retarded threads seem to be on the up, there has always been liers (Motors is good for this) that the detectives usualy uncover in ammusing ways but there seems to have been an increace in stuff like the seirons meme etc...

Perhaps im just noticing it more or its a sign of the times?
 
No, it used to be worse.


Indeed. I think it's great to see so many people standing up racism and trolls. This community is stronger than ever and I'm proud to be part of it, and so happy to see people generally posting with so much thought and tolerance for those around them. :)

A huge change to how OcUK used to be - refreshing and pleasing to see. :)
