Degrading quality of comments and advice on the board.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

It's like the "holy crap it's the wiki" thing.  Why is that offensive to anyone?  It's not a personal attack on you, just a creative and humorous way to tell you that the info you want is in the wiki.  Appreciate the humor (or get over it, if it bothers you) and go check the wiki....or the faq....or use the search if that is where the information is.

Thank you.

Shutup.

How's that for degrading?

It would have been moreso if people actually listened to what you say. Luckily we don't. Noob.

It's mediocre for degrading.  I'll shut up though, in the hopes that you won't post again.

I wasn't talking to you, butthead. I was talking to Brian (Alphafire, in case you're a bit slow), a friend of mine. It was a joke.

Has anyone noticed how the posts have been degrading in quality lately?

There is only one way to solve the problem.

Do a barrel roll.

[frankieG]

the clique here are like a bunch of whinny little school children with a means streak.  all you have to do is look in the tard area and see who is saying what about whom and such.  i find it quite entertaining.  these are the same people that give noobs a hard time and think that just because they had ridden a gs for 5 or 10 years they are an expert on all motorcycles.  having said that some are incredibly nice people and some are very friendly and knowledgeable and others (terry) grow on you.  i prefer to focus on the positive and not the negative.  i am a member of a few boards and this type of thread is in there somewhere.  i don't think gstwin is any better or worse than any other board.

Oh yeah... what's "whinny".. isn't that the sound a horse makes?

Maybe. I'm on a number of others as well (increasingly, lately), and I agree that the standards are very low... but it used to be better here than it is now. I think we're pretty much at the lowest point I've seen since the "red robot" phase.

I agree totally, lets just try to be helpful and we can all have fun. Trying to come of as a site historian and monitoring how many times a question was asked is rude and disruptive to the health of this great site.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Coming in, being a new guy, and telling all the older, wiser members that they're idiots, disregarding their advice, asking the same question 10 different times, and in general being a nuisance isn't the best of etiquette either. (Not pointed at anyone specific, just general observations I've made about new guys lately)

[mytwin]

Give me a link to a post that was worded like that. Probably more like the reverse. I have been a member for a real short time but in that time it seems like the old timers are too gruff and quick to tell someone to can it and hit the search, hell if we all did that there would be no more posts! I have been riding and racing bikes for over twenty years and I have no urge to look down my nose and pass judgement on what is a good question or a bad one. Lets remember the only bad question is the one that wasnt asked.
But in case I am wrong, then yes lets ALL go into this with open minds.

He asked the same question at least 5 times. When we gave him answers, he told us we were wrong. Read any post by FrankieG, most of his posts are irrelevant (as are mine, but I try to confine the irrelevancy to the tard farm), with very little useful information (Although he can be helpful at times).

I have no urge to look down my nose on anyone, especially not new people (to riding, the gs500s, or to mechanical things in general). However, I believe in helping those who help themselves. I've never been handed anything in my life, and I don't believe others should be, either. A simple search for "rejetting" provides the wiki link over and over again. Hell, just read the FAQs real quick, BEFORE you post another question. If there's something in the FAQ or the Wiki, or a previous post that you don't understand, I'm perfectly ok with that, ask for clarification, but show that you put forth some effort on your own behalf before asking us to mollycoddle you (general you, not you specifically), and hand you everything on a platter. This is a forum, with a backlog of posts into the hundreds of pages. While I agree that if ALL we did was search, there would be no new posts, I feel that it's denigrating and degrading to those who have put so much research and hard work into previous posts (Srinath, Kerry, Dgyver, Werase, Rich (RIP), hell, even Mak) to disregard those posts. Progress is good, things change, additions are made. However, there is so much information available here, if people would only avail themselves of it.

That was too damn long, I'm sorry, but I feel passionately about it (Or maybe I'm just pissed off at n00bs posting threads that I've read before.. )

your like 12 OK 21 about the same. technically @$$hole i have been a member of this board before you and spent more time in the military and riding than you've been alive.   so go f%$k yourself, grow up you little duck-less kid.  i wish you lived near me cuz i love throttling little dip shits like yourself that think you are top drawer.  f%$king 21 year old kid handing out advise and criticism....now that's a rant 

And yet I still dont like you. In my opinion your not that helpful, 9 out of 10 posts you post are pointless non helpful crap. For me If I dont know something or have nothing nice to say I usually stay out of the thread USUALLY. Im an ass and I like it.

[frankieG]

honestly i don't give a rats ass if you like me or not...i'm not on this earth to blow sunshine up anyone's ass

Well, maybe if y'all weren't such a bunch of 'tards, I wouldn't have to smack your asses down all the time, 'tards.

Not all older members are wiser in the ways of motorcycling than newer ones.  This is a common fault on all message boards that I've seen.  Older members think new members are inexperienced because they haven't been on the message board as long, when they could have a world of real world experience and have just never been on a board.  I'm on an MMA message board where that stuff runs rampant.
