An example appears to have just being deleted, something along the lines of Who would win, Spiderman or Wolverine.The thread was trashed in one of the first posts.

That's upto you, but when you go around accusing people (naming no names) of insulting others, surely you must be prepared for someone to say. Where?

I'm fine with people denying it or disagreeing with my opinion, but no sensible members would want it to become personal.

why not just ignore the thread / RTM it instead of bumping it to the top?

This is part of the reason that GD sucks.

That was just an example, but if it was someone who you class as a friend would you have done the same?

Lets use Fatian as an example as you seem to get on well with eachother.

If he started that thread would you have gone ahead and trashed it?

Close motors too, too many people in there think they know everything.

I think the main problem with Motors is people with bad attitudes.

Someone comes along with a simple question or comment and theres a certain few who feel the need to jump in with comments like "Erm.. WHAT!!>>>!>!>!??!?! :confused:

You need to go back to playschool :rolleyes:

It is true you can't polish a turd... but maybe it's best not to try and polish it at all?

thats not the reason at all and you know it, its people trolling and therefore spamming instead of just leaving a thread to die.

Some people just can't resist getting poo everywhere

And that's not a metaphor.

Did Spie recently fork out on upgrading the forums to handle the extra bandwidth or am I imaginging things.

I dont think you would, maybe you would say something in a sarcastic way, but you wouldnt be nasty/rude.

Just my oppinion anyway.
