and it's all because of a small but highly vocal minority cluttering these forums with personal insults and contentless distractions in clear violation of the forum rules.
These people can be counted on just the fingers of one hand, but their comments are a chronic detraction undermining the credibility of these forums as a professional news source on the computer industry.
Message deletions are ineffective. These people don't care if their messages get deleted so long as they have their moment of flame. The mere fact that their messages are deleted means their messages were read by at least one person who complained.
What is needed in these forums is to identify these chronic offenders and temporarily or even permanently suspend accounts and block IPs.
