Hello everyone.
Rather than writing about something I enjoy, and would like to share with others, I felt that my next article should be about something that is getting WAY out of hand here on ComicBookMovie.com. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the conduct of this site's users.
About a week or so ago, I sent an email to the site's "superiors", asking them how one user's comments should be regarded. I also apologized for the fact that I had used insults in the past to express my frustration at the incompetence of certain users. I didn't get anything back, which is fine, as I'm sure they have a lot sent to them on a regular basis, but I still feel that this issue shouldn't be brushed under the rug.
I honestly believe that CBM should really start cracking down on the people who fling insults at others just because they have the power of anonymity and "internet balls" at their disposal. Just because you can pretty much say whatever you want over the web and not be held accountable (personally) doesn't mean you should. The right to free speech is one thing, but when your comments section is nothing but a forum of hate and horribly repugnant insults, it doesn't exactly make the site look like a pleasant place to be.
Whether it be a matter of immaturity or just plain bitterness from people who were dealt a bad hand in life, I feel that CBM needs to do something about the infinite amount of insults that get flung across the site on a daily basis. All I ask is that CBM finds a way to completely block users who use foul language as a means of insult to others. If they can keep a civil tongue while stating their opinions then fine. But the second it turns to a hate fest, it should be "adios".
