What do you like or dislike about Neowin?

[Rappy Veteran]

I should probably add I don't like IRC either :p

[Vice]

Like:

Forum Software, its nicely laid out, easy to read.

Dislike:

The community. (lul)

[Doli]

Not a big fan of RWI when the threads just become a big mess. I think since this Neowin advertises itself as a technology news website

then that section should have issues in technology and science. Area 51 is just crazy :p

[Biotoxic_hazard_835]

Not being able to block anoying threads from being displayed. The search function can use some improvement. Otherwise Neowin is a great place.

Well tech goes into back page news. Science has its own section, and RWI is real world issues =P

Like: IRC and forum community.

Dislike: Mail and Pandya on IRC :p

[User6060]

i dislike the amount of ignorant stuff posted here. there should be an age limit to post in some forums.

[brentaal]

I don't think an age limit would fix anything.

[Growled Member]

I don't think an age limit would fix anything.

I agree. Some of the worst offenders here are old enough to know better.

[petrossa]

like:

good combination of interesting fora , only tech stuff is boring and you can find 1000's of tech sites

moderators, should be more strict though

[08993]

Likes: Range of topics, site design and ease of use.

Dislikes: Treading on egg shells, lifetime bans are like unsolved murders, people just disappear if they upset the wrong people :)

[Subject Delta]

Like: Forum skins, and the fact there are a wide range of people on here to discuss with

Dislike: The iron grip of the staff, and the way they through warnings around like candy, for anything and everything.

[cooky560 Veteran]

I like how easy it is to get instant answers to so many questions, and share your technical knowledge :)

Interesting perspectives for those listing 'moderation' as a dislike.

I agree. Some of the worst offenders here are old enough to know better.

Some are too old. :p

dislike:

everyone who disagrees with me.

:rofl:

[Rappy Veteran]

nah don't see that happening :p

[dead.cell]

Like: The people

Dislike: The people

Especially dislike people who place stereotypes on others that aren't justified. A good example is an American on this board being slammed for being an idiot, with comments like "lol Americans..." and typical anti-American comments. I mean, just because some individual from the UK makes an ass out of himself does not make give me the right for me to slam all people living in the UK. Honestly, I don't see how anyone can consider this sort of behavior acceptable.

That's one of the major concerns I have about this website, as I enjoy reading a lot of what others have to say here. Many intellectual people here, but it really sucks when you're made out to be an idiot or simply not welcome to the site because of where you live. :/
