A Question...

[Pampurrs]

There is an off topic forum. If one does not like what's in it, I don't think anyone is being forced to go there.

The problem is, when people click on "New Posts", as I do on a regular basis, there is no way to filter out the garbage in the Off Topic Forum. So we have to sift through the mess trying to find useful posts.

There are many knowledgeable people on this forum who provide valuable and useful information. Then there are those who have nothing of substance to add, and just post garbage that we've already seen on Facebook or on the News.

Again, I know I cannot change this. I know I am in the minority. The owner of the forum lets it happen and that's just the way it is. I simply wish this was truly a "Spyder" forum, and not mucked up with garbage posted by those who have nothing of substance to contribute, and only wish to increase their post count.

<snip> how boring would this site be without "OL Lovable Bob".

More focused? More relevant? :dontknow:

There is a forum like that. Google Spyder forums. It's a technical forum mostly. I am pretty sure that they get 10 or so new posts a week. At least it's more focused....

There is your cure Pam. You just need to follow it.
Bob you keep posting my friend.

All I can say is, I thank my lucky stars that I didn't choose a career as boring as selling insurance. :bowdown:

Up until I made this post, a full 20% of the posts on this thread were made by Pampurrs, complaining about Bob's posts. Pam, how do your posts, complaining about another member's number of posts jive with your contention that: " . . . I only come here to gather and/or share knowledge and experience about Spyders or motorcycling in general. I'd prefer to see more of those type of posts and less of the irrelevant junk."

You also posted: " . . . The problem is, when people click on "New Posts", as I do on a regular basis, there is no way to filter out the garbage in the Off Topic Forum. So we have to sift through the mess trying to find useful posts . . . "

If you go to the "New Posts" link, when the list comes up, look to the right - it shows what forum the posts are in - you can simply ignore the "Off Topic Board" and "Spyder General Discussion" posts, if that isn't what you are looking for.

Attacking a member is, IMO, worse than a member making comments - I don't recall Bob ever getting nasty with someone. I just don't understand the rationale of what seems like an attack on another member.:dontknow:

Feel free to create your own hardcore, technical Spyder forum somewhere.

Maybe if she is that serious she should buy a maintenance manual and spend less time here and more time reading about nut, bolts and electrons.

Like I said, I'm a minority here. I only come to this forum for Spyder or motorcycle related topics. For others, this is their social hangout. I'm not complaining, just making commentary.

WOW!!!!! That's low. I will make sure I never tell anyone what I did for a living. All I will say is it makes selling insurance sound exciting.

Hey Bob, post away. The complaints seem like First World problems to me. I've learned in 20 years in my profession to always treat others with respect and mind your own business. Not sure why someone would make a negative comment about your profession over a some posts on a spyder forum. :dontknow:

Looking forward to our ride over to Spyderfest together. :yes:

​At least there was no accusation that he is a used car salesman!
