I'm fairly new and thank heavens you all pointed out that MW (and Norman?) is full of shat. People like that are much more dangerous than Greg because they know just enough to lead you astray.
It is tough to deal with the occasional but always apparent members who spew poor advice. At least there are members that will immediately argue bad advice.
For the most part, this is enough to control these types of situations. What sucks is when it becomes a constant bombardment of complete crap. We can't sensor an individuals opinion nor ban them for their opinions as long as they don't violate the TOS, no matter how poor the advice is.
The existing Rep Power system likely does enough to tell members who not to listen to.
Greg tends to only go off on the lazy or those who give horrible advice. I get that. What sucks is that he is also one of the guys that tells shit straight. However opinionated he may be, he is completely honest and solid in what he does. He has a brash way of stating things sometimes and ends up being the one who gets banned because of it.
I would like nothing more than to ban MW or RN. I just have no basis for doing it.
Now if an admin would realize that the discussions they bring up are detrimental to the site as a whole, then they would make that happen. But you know what happens when you ban someone for stating their opinion (whether right or wrong)? Alias user name and the whole thing starts again.
Usually a member in the red keeps it clear that they are not giving trustworthy advice. Not even sure why they keep posting. I am embarrassed for them to be honest.
