Is It Just Me or Does Anyone Feel the SAME about this Nascar Forum?

Question

I am a Fan of many but lately I have been just simply put appalled and disgusted with some of the questions and especially the answers being given in this Nascar Forum?? Isn't this supposed to be an open-mined and Fan Friendly Forum??

Yet, all I have seen lately is bashing, haters, of Drivers and their Fans ... rude, crude disgusting questions and answers being posted!

I have read and re-read the Community Guidelines and it seems that these questions and answers are still being posted and are totally getting out of line..We are supposed to be Nascar Fans and give imformative information and answers and not be bashing each other and our drivers.

Where is the respect for each other gone???

I would really like to hear some truthful answers to my question without the rudeness or crude remarks and if you are a REAL FAN.....Thank You!

Answer 1

Look, I have never posted rude, demeaning, or obscene comments on this form. I have read the policy, and I fully adhere to it. Yahoo has given us this site to express our views and opinions in a civil and responsible way. I hope you report those people that are abusing the site. It personally makes me sick to say the least.

But just remember that there are responsible race fans on here who are serious about what is going on in the world on racing. Don't turn us all OFF!

Answer 2

idk my bff jill

Answer 3

I think it's just you. You were complaining last week, and threatening to never come back. I even defended you and said we need people like you, This isn't a room for psychological coddling. If you need happy-go-lucky total agreement in your life, this is one public forum where you'll never find solace. I'm sorry you're all let down and stuff, but your whining. This is reality. This is public. If you can't sort it out. Not everyone is here for your emotional gratification. Also if you find the truth too shocking, beware of what you ask. This place can be pretty hard core. I myself, like it.

Answer 4

Amen Dianne!! Its gotten pretty bad here lately. Kinda made me shy away some but I always bounce back into here. I just try to iggy the hate and the bashing of drivers and fans of drivers. Show some love folks, its the greatest sport on the face of the earth!!

You got that right Rowdy's World!

Answer 5

I understand where your coming from, but it's going to stay the same. I wish I had an answer for you, but I can't answer for y/a themselves. Just try to have as much fun with it as you can, and go through and see who you can answer, and who to stay away from. Sorry I can't be more help.

Answer 6

All forums start out with good intentions and eventually turn into "my opinion's right and yours sucks." People don't respect each other's right to have an opinion and hide behind the anonymity of the internet to vent their frustrations over being small in the pants.

Answer 7

Trolls ruin it for everybody. Ignore them, school starts back in August.

Answer 8

the definition of a fan is someone who is enthusiastically devoted to a sport, a follower and an admirer.... would you admire someone who puts your driver in the wall... it is all fun in games just because people are rude hating another driver doesn't mean they aren't "REAL" fans... they cheer when their driver does good and cry, bash, hate when their driver does bad especially when someone else did them wrong. people aren't doing anything wrong by bashing drivers...they are respecting each other by answering questions honestly and asking honest questions, just because they aren't giving sugar coated answers doesn't make them disrespectful fans... fans stick behing their drivers, or other sport teams and root for those who help and boo those who hurt

Answer 9

I agree whole heartedly Dianne, it's become Romper Room in here, I don't think you need to "hate" on any driver, even the ones you may not care for, innocent jabs here and there in good natured fun is a part of all sports, but the full on verbal assaults I see on here are down right ignorant!

But then again, if they have to resort to such childish behaviors, consider the source I suppose.

True nascar fans, love the thrill of the race, and can be good sports even when their driver doesn't win, or in my case finishes 84 laps down, I was proud of Kasey, he did a good job and deserved it!

Answer 10

Ed P said, "Trolls ruin it for everybody." I couldn't have said it better myself. I just ignore the trolls and haters. If you overlook them, there are some great people with good questions and answers.

Answer 11

A lot of people get off on getting others all riled up. It does seem to have taken a turn for the worse the past couple of weeks, though. I'm not even answering questions posted by obvious trolls, not even to tell them how stupid their behavior is. If I do, I'm just giving in to what they want. I'll read and answer rational questions only, and there are enough intelligent and well-adjusted regulars around here to keep me coming back.

Answer 12

Me!!! Did you see what all that drunk guy was saying about me today? lol...If I were Jr. Nation I'd elect a new president!

Answer 13

I think it has gotten somewhat worse lately, but it has pretty much always been like this.

I just ignore it all and choose to live in a happy bubble, LOL.  I advise you to do the same :)  I know it is hard if you get reported all of the time, but be the better person.  Ignore it and don't feed the trolls!!!

Answer 14

Well... may I speak for all who express their opinions passionately out here?  NO?

Okay... then all I have to say is...

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO J GORDON!

Answer 15

Bestanswer, I see the trolls have us in competition for best fans. I don't know what their problem is, lack of a real life maybe. Gotta pick on race fans to feel big about themselves.

Hopefully Junior nation will take your advice and elect a new President. Impeach this one!

Answer 16

Don't ruin the fun!!! LOL

Answer 17

you tell'em. good luck on the "getting them to listen" part though. the regulars already show respect and the others aren't about to start now.

as i said before, a real fan stands behind and defends his favorite driver(s) without having to put others down - drivers or fans.

that's my $0.18.

Answer 18

AMEN! I dont know why but i've been getting hate e-mails a lot lately about me being a Matty Kenseth fan WeIRd!

Answer 19

Come on people now... smile on your brother,everybody get together, try and love one nother, RIGHT NOW !!!.....

[Everybody Sing] !!!    You too my flower children !!

Answer 20

well I'm not a big Nascar fan... but the obvious answer is that anything like OPEN FREE forums will always attract some immature, crass and thuggish miscreants.

its not just Nascar... there are immature fans in every sport.  have you seen replays of European soccer riots?  how about NFL fans fighting?  

mix alcohol, testosterone, and stupidity and you got a straight ignorant mess.

Answer 21

I agree. Passions put aside, this is supposed to be fun!!!!!

And to the President, YOU need to lighten up bud. If you read the question, NOWHERE does it even mention any driver by name, yet you have to bring one up and tell us all how to react.

Does everyone see my point here???????

I say you need to have a cup of chamomile tea and relax.

Remember it's all fun until someone gets hurt.

Answer 22

I'm with you dianne I had a question similar to this last week the stupid people just get to you don't they? I even stayed off YA for the biggest part of a couple days but we've got to remember that we can't let them win and that there are really good people on here even if we don't all agree on our drivers we all show each other respect and that's good enough for me!! I've said before and I'll say again that some of my faves are members of Rowdy's World and I'm definitely not a member there but they all still respect me as I do them yeah we might tease each other alittle but that's all in good fun!! And I really like to know what they have to say when I (Or someone else) ask a question cause they have alot of good info!! okay I'm rattling on now but don't let the idiots get you down cause they so aren't worth it and I have to remind myself of that quite often and then it's nice to see one of my YA friends back me up (like you have and some of the others have) cause then your reminded that the good ones out way the idiots!! keep your head up girl!! I'm still with ya!!
