Racing Comments forum - current state

It's always been a bit bad, but over the last couple days it's gone batshit insane.

Just a suggestion: if I was an admin/mod, I'd make stupidity a bannable offence, and get rid of 10 or 15 different people. It really needs a massive clean-up.

It also needs the IPs to be more closely monitored, or banned altogether, because many people have been banned and simply came back with different usernames. Arrow is the most known example, it's just so obvious...

Then again, this is not my board - if you admins/mods are happy with the current state of this, well, there's not much we can do except for accepting it.

I don't know if it's much better or worse but I came to this section to recommend something that would keep some of the ignorant fanboys away from the more knowledgeable and experienced fans; We need a 'Peanut Gallery' section. Seriously, all new members have unlimited access to the Peanut Gallery section and if they apply for permission to join Racing Comments they need the approval of 10 members from RC. Or something like that.

The proportion of ignorant members is growing like a disease in RC and it's shameful. It's impossible to have any kind of sensible discussion the way things are now.

EDIT:
FYI this idea was triggered by the Lewis tire puncture thread.
