Putting aside power-tripping mods, there used to be some good posters, but now it seems to have gone totally downhill. I read a few threads and almost everyone replied with the same "directories and socialbookmarking are both good for SEO", but in very bad English*. It seemed like people were quickly posting for the sake of post count rather than worthwhile responses. Then going on to the site sales section, there were plenty of hostile sellers unwilling to provide information, but make claims of great earnings, traffic, etc. Or if they did provide, it was vague. It used to be a lot better. *Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against non-native speakers, just the quick posts for the sake of post count.

However, when they are just generally being assholes and stuff, by not showing respect and trolling people, that's what pisses me off. Quite frankly, I'm not a big fan of VG forums for this reason and try to avoid using them now. P.S. I noticed the dweeb two posts above used my full name. Any chance of getting it edited out? Thank you, Peter. Yes, I quite understand what you are getting at when you say that no one has to allow anyone to post on their forum, wiki, blog or whatever.

It was just a trolling experiment I created a few years back (as I've never posted there before). @SynchPedro86 (and anyone else genuinely pissed off here) = I won't give legal advice on your situation because I'm not a law expert, however if you want some general Forum advice, then here: If some online community pisses you off, then just log out and never go back. There's plenty of other places out there that can probably help you with your situation, and you won't lose anything by not returning. Don't let it get to you personally.

Today I went on there to ask about something about Wikipedia no less, and they are flaming me for no reason at all (in my thread). Also, it is hilarious to see a posting by someone called kid's pools on here, considering someone on DP was referring to swimming pools and something about kids and how he or she was a grown up and did not share the pool with other kids, and some gibberish about his clock missing the minute hand on it. WTF? It's ironic. Anyway, I don't think I'll be going back there to post again. Immaturity just ruins the Internet. I also found this page after I basically had Googled "Digital Point" and "assholes" as the second key term.

DP (meaning double penetration or simply digital point) is a haven for morons. I go there now and again to get some decent and honest legal aid, and instead of getting what I came there for, I get replies from some immature kids addicted to Kool Aid. Yeah.

Looks to me like they just want to get their post count up and promote their sig links. Which brings me to my next point - for some reason a bunch of my posts didn't get approved (apparently they have to be pre-approved by a moderator before they go live, since I am a new member with only a few posts). I don't understand why they allow 5 word post spam if their moderation is so strict.
