A good technical disucssion can easily run to a few pages in an hour, with most of the posts in it typically from a small number of people who have good knowledge of whatever the subject of the post is, so for example it might be Stu@MSD if its on mapping.

Stopping that input would be the most stupid thing ever imho for this forum, so no I dont think its a good idea to stop the most useful members of the forum who contribute the most to technical discussions personally.

Shame there is no way of easily identifying people who are so sad they only really come on here to moan and whinge though, as thats the most tiresome and pointless thing to read in a big melting pot like GD IMHO, still at least its easy to just scroll past it when its boring, but certainly when it comes to good technical discussions I dont care WHO posts it, providing its good info.

Add me then

I can't remember any technical posts of any worthwhile note in the past few months tbh.

They all turn to shit with no real conclusive answers...i do find them amusing though lol.

Any technical discussion is jumped on, by you in particular......usually then someone will disagree with you....or question your reply.

it then goes on and on and on and on...til you've exhausted the thread with your ginge like ramblings!

Back in the day even newbies used to get involved in them, and there was worthwhile knowledge in every technical post....with questions asked and answered all the time.

Not anymore though, such posts contain too much bullshite and waffle for anyone to accept as useful

i dont agree on a post limit but a shit filter would be good if it was ever possible to drop utter crap threads or posts straight in the bin ! now that would be cool

have an ignore list and anyone who posts and is on your ignore list doens't show up

it would be like permanantly eliminating someone who's posts you didn't want to read

as good as a shit filter because you would be able to choose who you wanted to filter

not a very good idea mate, the reason this forum is good is cus thers no limits on posts and we can talk about everything otherwise we will end up like other car forums that only talk about a certen car..how boring
i love the fact that if i have a problem i can cum on this forum and have a discusion about it!!
think of this MLR have more peeps than us, but this forum posts probaly 4 times as much . why is that? i now why no limits and pf is the best
