+ lots.

There is a striking correlation between people who genuinely contribute to the forum and people who are annoyed and targeted by trolls. A similar correlation holds for people who prefer to tolerate or even indulge trolls and people whose contribution to the forum is negligible or even negative.

We try to tolerate all sorts on the forum. If someone is disruptive enough, and/or obviously has malicious intent, then we are more likely to deepsix them. On the other hand, we've never tossed people just because they are annoying.

If you are talking about CE, trust me, j and I would love to close it down completely. Same goes with DT. And if DT denizens let it seep into the rest of the forum too much, we will. The did fine without DT for years, and it can do fine without it again. Be warned.

But CE helps to keep some valuable contributors such as iammatt engaged in the community whose involvement would be minimal otherwise. Surely there is a middle ground between shutting CE down and letting it get overrun by dumbfucks.

Onix made this incredible site for MC B&S - Can it please be stickied? If not, there are several of us who will contribute to make it so - but the guy basically created a website specifically to make buying on B&S easier. Insane.
