When i first came on here, this place was great. but now it seems like we spend more time talking about the trolls then we do NASCAR. its getting old now. why did these trolls all of the sudden start to pop up? Im only 16, but im a mature 16 year old. im not the average rude/punk teen like alot of them are. i do good in school, stay outa trouble, stay away from drugs/alcohol, and do nice things for people, and its sad to me to see these trolls on here who act just as imature as kids i go to school with, some are actually worse. is there any hope for these trolls going away and this forum going back to normal? these trolls are doing nothing but waisting our time and theirs.
Trolls, can you please find some other forum to go mess around in. you have been here long enough, go bug someone else, or better yet, just get off Yahoo! answers unless you are going to use it the way that it was ment to be used, to answer peoples questions in a mature, honest way.

I agree with you, but our world is full of trolls, and we must deal with them on the internet as well as in real life. Also, there is a level of anonymity on the internet that just isn't there in a face to face confrontation, so these idiots are more likely to be immature and rude. The best thing you can do is continue to be the mature teen that you are and rise above these losers. They will still be losers in ten years, no matter what.

I agree, even the whole website has changed with trolls. I was a member a year or two ago and it seemed trollless, but now even in the topic NASCAR people are saying its boring, its a redneck sport, etc. But for people who are doing that... whats the point you are wasting 5 points doing that.

Every section has had it's problems recently. One section I go to has many of it's long time members decide to leave. Because of the ignorant questions, people trying to cheat to get the top contributor name tag and people posting questions trying to cause problems. It's almost like people are so bored they come on here just to waste time.
When I first came on to answers I tried to answer every question as best that I could. Then the quality of the questions went down and so did my answers. Now, it's pretty much the same question that shows up just worded differently.
I like to talk smack about other drivers. But when questions start showing up that refer to their sexual preferences or subjects like that, the crap gets old.
So, to the members that ask good questions, I'll try to answer the best I can. To the others, I'll try to be as creative as possible.
Time is coming to an end. SSSOOOOOOO,,,,

You are very right.
I have been on this forum a year and in the past 3 or 4 months it has gone down hill.
I attempt to ignore the trolls and nay-sayers but I just have to answer with a trash answer.

Mearn hit the nail right on the head. We just have to ignore them. There is no other way. They want to ask questions that are stupid and will make us true nascar fans upset. We know who the trolls are, so lets just leave them alone.

Has any one else even brought up the troll issue today?
Let it go and look at profiles before answering questions.
soon it will become obvious who the trolls are and then just ignore or report if they are in violation.

I'm to the point where it's just funny. Poor guy.... what kind of pathetic life must he lead to come here for no other reason than to see how many people he can offend. Little dweeb probably never got over being picked on in school... if he's not STILL in school.

I totally agree! We have to ignore them, yes, but better yet, BLOCK THEM! Then there is less trouble. Sad thing to me is that it makes me leary of anyone with a new profile date. I really hate to doubt people on profile date rather than a first impression based on their Q & A. Plus, if you really want to look at it their way, they are getting all the attention they want. It is both negative and passive, but we continue to discuss them and answer their questions thereby feeding their sick egos.

I'd have to say the reason there's so many trolls around here is BECAUSE we talk about them. Trolls want attention, by wasting our points to make questions about them is giving them what they want. If we want to be rid of trolls, we must ignore the trolls!
