Lately there has been a lot of negativity creeping its way into the forum. While we appreciate any and all relevant discussions as well as posting about genuine issues and concerns things seem to have gotten a bit past that. Many members are getting sick of the constant negativity on the forums and I agree with them. If there is a member who's posts you don't wish to see, I wrote about how to use the ignore function here: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/how-to-ignore-a-user.466/
As for members that constantly come on to complain about the same topics day after day, I'd suggest re-thinking your approach. There are legitimate concerns and questions but it can also get to a point of just complaining. I would hope everyone thinks before they post but if there is just a constant trend of complaining, posts will start getting deleted and warnings will start being given out. 3 warnings results in a suspension as mentioned in the forum rules thread.
Keep in mind that this is an enthusiast site and people want to be able to come on and post without dealing with constant negativity. If it is deemed necessary I will create a bitchfest forum section that is only visible to registered users and where posts don't show up on the new posts tab so only people that want to see them do, but I'd rather not go in that direction.
Thank you from the Admins and Moderators.
