If i were administration i would put a sticky at the top of that page telling people to only reply if they are interested in a puppy. I have seen it on other forums and it works pretty well. No nastiness. The breeders forum? well, as a new breeder I have been on the receiving end of a few smart comments myself but I am now on that persons "Ignore" list and she is on mine.  I do think that the site administrators here do a fantastic job. I just wish they would stop some of these posters that interject where they shouldn't even be as soon as they start. |
I think with any forum there is going to be a certain amount of friction If we weren't allowed to say anything it wouldn't pay to join. People just have to learn to mentally weed out the instigators, and ignore them
This is one instance where they "just ignore them and maybe they'll go away" will work. If no one responds to them it won't be any fun for them.
I've been on the receiving end a few times, and have found the instigators to be uninformed in what they are even saying. They have nothing to base their ignorant post on, except they have convinced hemselves that they are an authority on the matter.
