Default Pistonheads?

Do the people who use that forum have an opinion that isn't straight out of the mouth of Jeremy Clarkson?

Sorry but this site has been dreadfully quiet, so i've been sampling other places.

You ****! I think there are a few participants who actually do know what they are talking about, but there are also some that have been caught out pretending they own Astons etc!!

I seen J4CK0 over there. As i was reading his threads, I got a little disgusted as though he was cheating on us.

He also seems to be much funnier over there, as if we're his warm up crowd to try new material, then he goes over there and shows them the good stuff!

Hmmm, a sense of humour is frowned upon in here........

I might as well, I watched Doctor Who? last week. It was ****E! I went to my missus after it, "I'm bloody well glad I didn't pay to watch that ****!"

We both laughed.

PH is full of powerfully built goateed company directors who drive (re-mapped) BMW535Ds and send care packages to Bill Gates, because he is so poor.

All forums bring out the worst in the many of their users, but PH has more than its fair share of bell-ends.

Still: its far better than SN is now, sadly.

Out of curiosity, what is so wrong here?

I'm genuinely asking for constructive criticism. I don't know what may happen as a result, and don't want this to turn into some bitchfest, just some reasonable points to reflect on if things are so bad.

I did register on PH. I had to wait 14 days to post in the lounge. I only asked if anyone fancied a bum and I got banned with in 30 seconds of posting the thread

There are a load of bell ends on there though, including Jamie

I must admit that a number of sellers/traders have been protected on here by all the thread locking. Surely it is in the best interests of the people who pay to keep this site running to let them know about the sellers/traders who have a less than high standard product? It all leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Just my opinion, not looking to start some 50 page thread on the rights and wrongs of moderation (censorship), but we were asked what is 'wrong' with SN.

I don't think anything is wrong, I just think some people like a change. I am a member on several different forums. PH, is not the most recent one I have joined, but it is interesting over there.

I also joined one of their spin off sites, now that place is very interesting!

The grammar police are playing their part in pulling this site down, don't get me wrong I'm not talking about txt type, just their or there bought or brought Ive I've I have.

I see many newbies come on here post a decent enough thread, only to get torn down because of their spelling and grammar often belittling and degrading them, can we not have a little leniency for those who did not get an 'A' in English grammar.

I can read through a thread and deal with them getting 'there' theres wrong without the need to tell them they are retards and not worthy of posting. yes I know what I did there.

Much lower activity on NSR than there used to be and the same old comments about hating iPhone, Top Gear, etc

I confess I have pulled up someone on grammar as a retaliation for spelling of the word 'licence'.
I do think though, that the grammar aspect is the last bastion of the beaten argument. People seem to get called out on grammar when they have obviously won a debate with another member, or if they are new, which frankly is pathetic.

JT, It is not the capitalization of the Y that is wrong I'm afraid it is the full stop should have been a comma. Cough cough *** cough cough

This was a classic example, new guy posting (SN+ member too) get ripped apart for his grammar. Most of the offending posts seem to have been removed but you'll get the idea....
