Seems like many are posting non-sense questions and copy pasting obscure news articles. It's outstanding that folks want to be involved, but come on really! Are the points that important to you? Shouldn't we actually post discussions that pose a question that provokes thoughtful, content-based responses! A lot of these discussions only receive one or two responses, but I suppose if you flood us enough with them it might get you a few points and they will start to add up. I really don't want to be disrespectful but asking what time I get up or how I tie my shoes etc, etc is really boring and annoying. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way and I'm sure I will be slammed by some. But it is only my opinion and don't amount to a hill of beans. Personally I love the questions on world affairs, veteran issues or anything that will help our serving members today. I actually don't mind the political discussions if they are legit and provoke reasonable discussions. If I offended anyone I apologize but I just had to rant and get it off my chest. I hope you have a good day and I won't be offended if you tell me I'm crazy and out of my mind!

It is an attempt to make this just like every other web site. The same select members make it their mission to post 20 regurgitated trending stories every day from all the other web sites we were fleeing from. It has been brought up repeatedly, has been discussed daily, and has been dismissed. In a nut shell, if you don't like it, seek life elsewhere, but they will hate to see you go. This is the reason so many of our quality members are inactive or flat out quit. Posts that were laughable a year ago are good to go.

TSgt Hunter Logan - Even so...it's still condescending....the content is ??? I believe the same concerns are still applied and if the content is not appreciated then don't read it.

1LT Scott Doyle - Put me down for a RallyPoint PT belt.
I don't recall anyone singling out a specific member, or a specific ridiculous thread, but only agreeing with the illustrious MSgt (Join to see) , who has always been known in the community as an impartial, level-headed, slayer of the troll, and all-around good egg. Judging by the 50+ up votes in such a short period I would say he is discussion an important issue that many members have. If I am understanding the upcoming changes, we will soon be able to tailor the content of our RallyPoint experience by filtering out everything certain members post (at least that is my understanding) and this will be a non-issue. Admins are not here to tailor this site to their wants and to silence members with varying opinions. That is why certain member admins have lost their privileges.

Thank you Mark! As I mentioned in the original post it was only an opinion. And we ALL are allowed to have an opinion even if it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. I do pass on post I do not want to participate in. That does not mean I have to like them or that I am not allowed to state or post it in a question/discussion of my displeasure. I did not specify what was non-sense or boring in my eyes. But I did state what I like and enjoy. if you assume yours fits in the category I expressed thats on you not me. I hold no grudge if you dislike the post. SGT (Join to see) told me he did not like it and explained that to me and why he down voted it. I have the utmost respect for his actions. I will state it again, it was only my opinion as a Rally Point participant. Have a nice day everyone!

Feel free to vote down any discussion which you think is not worthy of being posted on RallyPoint. When a discussion gathers sufficient down votes, it will be removed from the general feed. Also, if down votes are never cast then the original poster can never know that their post is considered inappropriate.
