DiscoWeb has always been a different kind of enthusiast forum, a place where people are free speak their minds and not hold back just for the sake of being nice or not hurting feelings. We're not like ExPo or D90; we don't have a "mud pit" and we don't censor or edit posts unless they're spam or obviously illegal. I've been running the show here for two years now and I hope that I've shown to everyone that I care about this place, that I'm not going to pimp it out with ads just to make a buck, that I appreciate and enjoy the special thing we have here.
This board was once a great source of knowledge and the kind of place where you could post up a legitimate question and get a legitimate response. Our technical forums have been sliding backwards lately and I don't like it. Specifically, it pisses me off when a brand-new user posts a well-worded, appropriate technical question and the first response is this bullshit:
Starting today, this dumb shit stops. If your only response to a legitimate technical question* is to post something dumb and unhelpful, you're going to get a visit from Hypnotoad.
* Obviously, this is a touchy matter. I think DWeb should remain a place where you can get called out for stupidity, so I will use critical thinking before calling out the toad. I'm not going to ban you for talking shit about a Detroit in the front axle. My concern is only dumb responses to legitimate questions. Step up your game and we'll have no problems.
