I'm sorry, the site's going rapidly downhill....

richardvc

because of some of the offensive users on the forum.

Is it just me who has noticed this ?

I used to lurk on here years ago and people were friendly and helpful.

Then I joined and people couldn't help you enough and there was general empathy for people in trouble.

Now I cannot go through a thread without people being either offensive or critical.


I have got so bored with the following

• The predictable 'benefit bashers' who just call claimants 'scum' (there but for the grace of god go I !) without listening to their reasons why they are on benefits
• Trolls who make just the most stupid threads ie tax on fat people etc
• When someone comes on here for help from the community because they have done something wrong all they receive is criticism rather than help
• The online posturing by certain people which is pathetic
• The criticism of certain posters who really help other people
• The offensive / childish insults that are traded between some people
• Online bullying if there is a such a thing

It seems a long time ago that the community was one of help, advice and support but now it seems to harbour all sorts of individuals who want to bring it down and I want to know why !

I do agree with you, but unfortunatley as the site grows and grows it attracts more and more bigots/idiots etc.

The only thing you can do is keep reporting them to abuse or vote with your feet and find another money saving site.
