The problem is .............
A lot of forum users see a forum as a place to hurl abuse and troll other members for the sole purpose of starting flame wars and generally disruptive behaviour, they usually have no constructive genuine input or contribution to any threads.
They are easy to spot as they only post negative or critique comments that start other users off on a flaming rampage, or going completely off topic.
Couple that with the fact that a lot of younger generation are a click and "want it want it want it" mindset and have no rational thought of actually thinking about the situation and making a decision for themselves, they will ask inane questions that seem glaringly obvious to a lot of other users because they don't actually have the ability to think for themselves any more (cue Wkipedia/google etc etc).
This leads to the "what's right/wrong" question.
To stop offending comments being posted will be difficult as some users see it as their right to use the forum for that specific reason.
Better administration ?
This is the obvious route to take, we need admins on US/Can & Euro time zones to filter out these offensive off topic posts before they cause damage.
