Kudos to the mod staff today! Being ready with a hair trigger because of today's events, cleaning up dozens of redundant (overly nasty) threads and giving at least a couple of known trolls the boot (even though it was only after they finally revealed themselves in full). Yeah, this was a bad news day but we can't say that BBRY is quite finished yet... They've got a lot of work to do, though...
But there are the users that shouldn't be allowed to come back.
And then there's me.
We are on a BlackBerry fan site, and most of the time the forum is filled with trolls that just spew out one negative comment after another one.
Of course an ill informed BlackBerry user that says how superior his "tool" is, compared to every other "toy" out there is annoying as well.
But after all, this is a site for BlackBerry fans.
And the trolls make for a subpar experience in the CB forums right now.
Either CB decides that this is how they want to be perceived, or they become far more liberal with the permanent banhammer.

It's HIS website, not ours or yours or the community's. Freedom of speech doesn't apply to private business. Reread your civics book. Don't just toss out the buzzwords. Your idea that Kevin's website must be run and adhere to what "the community wants" seems like a very SOCIALIST concept...
The good thing is that this thread is not talking about stopping "candid and objective observations" whether they are negative or positive, but the trolling trash. If you don't see the difference, you should probably take a step back and read a little more before telling the person who provided this opportunity to you that they are doing it all wrong.

To be honest at this point you can probably replace forums with Google+ Pages and Communities or Facebook Pages and Groups and never had to worry about this stuff, much. Web forums are becoming a bit of a relic.
I actually wish more communities would do this, as it is a more efficient way to communicate with other users - Pun Unintended :-)
Why doesn't Mobile Nations or the sites therein have Google+ Communities or Facebook Groups?

Same thing, different location. But don't let me discourage you. You should leave and get on your idea right away...
