Harassment of Forum Members

[North7]

Yesterday we had some information posted to the forum, by a forum member who thought it was new and correct information. It turned out the information was incorrect, like this is the first time we have had incorrect information. Instead of just skipping the thread and reading something else, some forum members felt they had to pile on the poster @foxeycleopatra, sending harassing PM's to the user and attacking their political views for POSTING BRONCO information. The user now has blocked their user profile due to all this harassment.

This is a Bronco forum, let me repeat, this is a BRONCO forum, this is not a political forum, this is not a cancel culture forum, or whatever buzz word you want to call it. I understand passions are high, forum members wanting to learn all about the Bronco, but if someone posts incorrect information, thinking it was correct, help explain why it may not be correct and if it turns out to be wrong, MOVE ON, there has been many, many incorrect posts and the thread did not have to be closed due to harassment.

The Bronco community is welcoming of all, except for harasser's, if you cannot be civil, please find another forum to post your views.

This is the closed thread I'm discussing:
Ford is opening a walk-in Bronco modifications center “mod center” and test track at old Wayne plant [Update: Ford says won't be public]

Thank you North7. It is about time someone spoke up about cutting and overly sarcastic tone used by some members who take it upon themselves to be the forum police if their personal views are different from whatever is being posted.

It is pretty damn sad that it has came to this, it's a forum... for a vehicle... that none of us will see for another year. BUT I WANNA SEE A TWO DOOR WITH A BURRITO HEATER AND MAYBE A WHITE TOP WITH GREY DOORS BUT NOT TOO GREY, ORANGE INTERIOR, 4.1875" Lift!! WHY DO YOU NOT LISTEN FORD!! It's like gosh dang calm down it's a DAMN VEHICLE..

And thank you @North7 for speaking on this, It is a damn shame.

Did we ever talk about maybe a lock period for new comers? Maybe a vetting period for people posting/replying? I know some other forums do it, I'm not sure we do it here.

I love this forum for what it’s about. Part of the reason I have been off all social media platforms is due to this type of crap. People feeling entitled and if your opinions don’t align with theirs it becomes a shit storm of hate and BS
Thanks for posting this as a reminder to us all...
Bronco on!

Saw thread...skeptical...saw refuting post...moved on.

I wouldn't have thought it would devolve into political debate or PMs.

If anyone feels they need to send inflammatory PMs, please send them my way. I can take it, but nobody should have to put up with your rants just because you are having trouble controlling your emotions on a Bronco forum.

How does one even know your politics on a car forum? I must have missed her posting a political rant ?‍, because all I got was an Austin Powers reference.

Just make sure you keep the foil on. Trust me on this one.

Out of all car communities and forums I've been apart of, Bronco6g has been the most respectable and mature of all of them so far. It's unfortunate stuff like this has to happen. As mentioned, everyone is very excited about the Bronco, so Im sure emotions get the best of us sometimes, but we gotta remain respectful towards one another #pizzastickers4all

Why does my brain connect "burrito heater" with Austin Powers and "22 caliber jubb...."?
