Ever noticed people will waste their time to be a smart ass? http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=601135
Someone will ask a question due to inexperience or laziness that will seem to garner a lot of flak.
Some poor sucker asked “Is there such a sticky here for vendors that are outstanding or maybe not so stellar in their service Thanks guys”
The question was answered quickly and professionally by Randy in Maine.
So that’s where it needed to stop, but nooooooooo, we get six more stupid posts with smart ass, sophomoric answers and Emoticons _________________ Good Luck

I agree there are some un-necessary replies on threads. I'm sure it's like this on many forums. Some people are simply trying to be funny while others are frequent douche bags when they post.
To me, when someone is a blatant a-hole to someone who asks a question, I simply feel sorry that their life is so miserable that they have to demonstrate it with their posts. There is also a fair amount of people who failed "people skills 101" on this site and others as well.
I have noticed better moderator over site recently. Some of the blatant, frequent a-holes have either left or toned down their BS.
To me, this is a sign of a well run/moderated forum/site. Who wants to participate in forums were people are allowed to be frequent jerks to others. It also benefits this site in attracting more visitors/participants which then leads to more advertisers/revenue for The Samba. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]
