The Ugliest Trend Yet

Chiefdelphi is a great resource for all of FIRST to use over the years and has grown into a community that has taken a life of it's own. It has provided answers for those who needed it and advice for those who seek it. It is a place to get information about teams and robots that you would not be able to get on the general FIRST site and is a great place to meet up with friends and make new ones.
There has always been controversy because of how tightly moderated the page is (which I think has gotten much better than it used to be. They let alot more go than they used to). Believe me I have been to alot of message boards that are not as tightly moderated, If at all (my first message board the lead moderator said it would be more cost effective if he didn't moderate the page at all and all hell broke out after that. I nearly left when someone had the nerve to create a racist joke thread. I had never been so broken hearted over something done over the internet in my life and I surfed the wretched page of Stormwatch for a school paper before). This place had been relatively free of trolls over the years.
Ever since Silencenomore graced these pages I have noticed a dark turn for the worst that has been haunting these pages recently, where actual trolling occurs. Team members now post anonymously separate from their team and use this freedom to now post vicious accusations and rants against other teams for perceived wrongs or just use it to be rude and obnoxious.
This is a resource that everyone in FIRST can use and enjoy not just to post here but hundreds more just come by and read what has been posted. It just sad that alot of selfish individuals have decided to come here to start trouble because they think that this page is their toilet to dump their grievances against other teams and individuals in FIRST and don't even have the courage to do so with thier team mentioned with them because not only would their team suffer the consequences of their actions but they would most likely be dealt with for what they have done.
What's the solution? I don't know if there is one and what really disturbs me is it can only get worse (much worse, trust me on that) and the luster on the CD could be lost forever and that is truly a sad thing indeed.
