Although my forum profile is new (because I couldn't remember my old one), I have been using this site for almost 3 years. As the months went by, GaOTD went from an unknown site to one that hundreds visit every day, if not thousands or even hundreds of thousands (I really don't know, but I'm just talking about the amazing popularity rise). However, with the increase in popularity, the "program poachers" came, along with the people who don't download or try the program who only complain it's not what they wanted or the people who base their views of the program by what the first 10 comments say. I hate having to read all the good posts that have a negative zillion rating because these people DO know what they're talking about.
I would like to know if anyone in the community agrees with me that we need a banning system, one that bans those who do things like using the forums to advertise (Yes, this is forbidden in the rules, but it happens and the only punishment is a reprimand and closing the thread) or commenting stupidly on software (such as "I didn't try the software, but I hate it anyway." or "I wouldn't pay money for this." and "Since most of the comments say bad things, I don't want this even though I think it is a good program.")
Anyone second my opinions? And if you don't like them, please explain yourself in a way OTHER than "they r dum"
