You know news stories don't belong here, but on social media. Well, I was searching the forums today when I was hit in the face with posts about the events in Turkey and France.
And this was my reaction:
That should not be here. They are news stories, and people like to be on here to stay away from recent events, and they should not see posts about them. They are the kind that belongs on Facebook, Twitter, and many other social sites. If you do this, leave. Leave the site immediately.
I understand, there are a couple people here that rub me the wrong way because of their past behavior. @Johndfg
@Gestour Lol yea... He was/is a pretty regular poster of hate and spam comments, so maybe I'm just baised
His stuff doesn't bother me at all. He's just having fun I think.
Now if he catches a case of the cancer, watch out!
@Johndfg
@MediocrePlanes Probably a good idea. I think a better way to search for forum posts and planes would be nice
@Gestour Check his forum posts >:(
Notice the number of them with stupid info, obvious info, spam posts, posts with less than 2 sentences, etc.
Makes me mad
No, who? :) @Johndfg
I don't envy you.
I look forward to some sort of change!
Off topic posts belong on twitter.
@MediocrePlanes
@Johndfg
I actually prefer the tags, as digging through all 4,532 reported planes is rather tiring.
@MediocrePlanes I feel for you, about half of all forum posts are spam. I can't imagine having to dig through the forum posts every day. I would love a report button, so people wouldn't have to tag mods for every one.
@Gestour @Johndfg
Imagine having to moderate this :(
Latent's biggest wish is a forum refresh.
I have to say, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE.
@Gestour A particular user posts 3 forum posts EVERY DAY. ALL OF THEM ARE SPAM. You know who it is?
Most of the time I find them rather entertaining. That particular post angers me though.
@Johndfg
@Gestour the forums here suck honestly. Hoping for a fix when the website is updated
Heck, most I'd do is aircraft related (Boeing's 100th birthday, as a example.)
It's so irritating!
@Johndfg
@Gestour Ooh wow.
This
@Johndfg
@Gestour What?
I prefer the news over fake cancer any day!
