When threads get immature... There is a thread going right now called "How come no one told me" in General discussions, I have read through most of it (I did not post in it) and quite frankly it is embarrassing.
It is constantly being posted in so it is at the top of the general discussions so newcomers could be choosing it as one of the first things they read here.
The posts have gone from harsh and inconsiderate to outright immature. I wish threads that make the site look bad were removed before they reach 200+ posts. I have had a lot of help since I joined but if I had come across that thread on my first day I would not have bothered signing up. Not because people get nasty, that happens on every forum, but just because it has gone on so long...not a nice gesture to the original poster.
So that is my suggestion, remove threads when the bickering starts before posters make fools of themselves and this great site.
BTW, I love it here, I have had a great experience until coming across this post the other day.
