, the community is more polite and well ordered from what I have seen so far. Good place for lively Browns discussion.
give it time
Heh. Yeah, I getcha. There is always going to be some flammage in any webforum, no matter how well mannered and moderated.
But the tone in DawgTalkers is definitely much better than the OBR. Over there, one could easily find a dozen or so 5-digit post count people who often had something really worthwhile or funny to say - really good posters - but who also liked to flame and troll for their own amusement. You add them to the usual assortment of penny ante flamers and trolls, and the place was a mess.
I'll skip all the other problems with that forum. If the moderators enforced the posting guidelines, it would be better. But the time to get away with strictly enforcing the rules was many years ago. Nowadays, the culture is too deeply embedded and resistant to the formal rules. Customs trump laws.
It really is better over here. Enjoy this forum folks. Good spot.
