    We have all seen it multiple times.

    Threads get nasty. People abuse each other and it all gets a bit silly.

    Why is this ?

    It is human nature to have differences of opinion
    too many threads always get abusive imo.
    It maybe due to racism,drunk while posting,smart comments,replying to a post and a member maybe jealous about it,jumping into a thread reply and spoil the conversation,slanging their pics,not friendly members,bans and infractions out of order and the member seeks revenge imo,
    Age is a factor of many problems eg too young to have a conversation.
    Bullying is common imo.
    rules of each forum is differant to other forums.
    private messaging is another key factor to the problems.
    I presume other members may have more views about why the threads get abbusive.
    As the ones i have mention is only my opinions and its good to survey the aspects of the thread problems.:)

    I think an admin (maybe Vex but not sure) deleted it as they don't want the attention seeking "Woe is me. You'll miss me when I'm gone. I'm leaving. Really. I mean it you guys. I'm going... right.... now." threads cluttering the place up.

    Excellent contribution above.

    The "drunk" one is an interesting theory...

    Suspect that age is a factor too. Are the under 21's more likely tp become involved in nastiness??

    thanks for that dews.

    imo yes,i dont know what the age min is? As being 21 to the oldest poster (who is the oldest person here i wonder?) are more mature as this site has strict policys of posting subjects here.
    I may be wrong about this as alot of rules are not read before they post are the ones subject to getting in trouble on these forums.
    My sudjestion is as they join up and before they post anything have some form of acknowledgement up on their screen before they post?
    Get the mods to set up system to let the op post 10 posts and if the op makes to much mistakes then its more likely that the op is messing about imo.
