Its more the mood of the forum changing, duno if its coz of all the noobs coming asking the same thing over and over, 'is this bike good.. bla bla' and members getting frustrated or people just getting a little too comfortable. Ive noticed it and im sure everyone has. I think the 'offensive' behaviour is a bit more subtle than that and so this infraction system may be limited.
Ive got a few suggestions for the forum:
A noob section for all those 'is this bike good', 'what mods can i do' questions (stickys galore i hope) Also put this at the top of the forums list, so its the first place noobs see, and visist and will hopefully be able to answer all the FAQ that seem to keep on coming.
Maybe having a serious tech section like alot of other more popular forums have (i think just listing it at the bottom will keep the noobs and their 'what mods can i do' questions out).
With a few actions like these (along with those already in place.. doin a good job) im sure frustration levels will fall and every1 will stop being so up tight.
looks forward to a better cyber experience lol
cheers
