    Sniper posts frustrate sensible discussion

    Having watched the British GP on my PC, and with F1.com's "timing", and discussed the progress of the race with quite a few forum members during the course of the race, it is frustrating that our posts now, based on what we actually noted on "Live Timing" are being sniped at by a certain forum member who trolls through the thread and snipes at any sensible or reasonable point we make, based on very limited facts on his part, and what he considers as smart remarks on other peoples points based on fact.

    This type of sniping frustrates discussion and spoils any good raport members have with each other in the forum.

    I'll leave it at that, but if anyone has any doubts, then look through the British GP discussion thread.

    No need. If you go to the British GP thread and check through that, it will be very clear what I am talking about.

    There are many posters who contribute in a positive manner to discussions. Then there is this one guy who only contributes in an argumentative negative way, contradicting or deriding what others post. If you still have doubts, I'll PM you.

    Valve, I know whom/what are you talking about it, and to be honest I don't see anything wrong there, after all this is a discussion board and as long people doesn't start to offend/insult other members, I can't shut their mouths. Try not to be too sensitive and once in a while do ignore some posts, it will help a lot

    Yeah! I guess you're right. I'll do that.

    Pino, in all honesty, lately it's been easier just to ignore the entire F1 forum

    In all honesty, why don't you or anybodyelse take over ? I am sure you will do a better job...I am tired of wasting my time on F1 Forum, only to get critics and critics from everyone, and never a single thanks no matter what I do Just let me know and I will be very glad to step-down

    Pino I have had my differences of opinion with you but have rarely expressed them.
    It is a thankless and I am sure a frustrating job.
    I expect a lot of the dissatisfaction right now really stems from the disgust and frustration we the fans are feeling towards F1, both FIA and FOTA.
    I for one rarely post in F1 anymore and do not even read most threads. This applies to other forums I belong to as well.
    I am busy in Chit Chat though. I need to post a couple of jokes there to cheer you up. Maybe razz Markabilly.
    Anyway I think you do a good job so hang tough.

    Come on pino, no need to take this personally. I, for one, am not criticising you at all. I know you are doing your best, and I am grateful. I know bickering is not outside the rules, and neither is being negative. I am just voicing my own frustration, that's all.

    Moderating is a thankless task. I know that and I appreciate all the work you have done here to make this forum possible.

    So thanks, mate!!
