Maybe because most of these posts are nothing more than spam, with the objective of circumventing the rules of the board and misleading people. These posters generally don't post again, not even to defend themselves when their legitimacy is questioned, and they don't become regular contributors to the board.

This is common on regional web forums unfortunately. I moderate another (unrelated) forum and we have a five post minimum before you can compliment or bash a local eating establishment.

It's really amazing how that eliminates the problem

Thank you hig didn't bother explaining myself (maybe I should of) but my thoughts exactly. I'm done "getting into it" with a perfect stranger in cyber space.

I thought the idea of a forum was to state an opinion....NOT to get bashed & insulted by a bunch of people who don't agree with me. I totally agree with the Patrick's comment, don't go there because of the band but I assure you there was a guy wandering all over the place Monday night with the microphone soooooo friggin' loud that we could NOT carry on a conversation across our table. That being said, and the fact that my sandwich wasn't what I expected, nor was it all that good, do you have to bash me because I didn't like the place? What part of opinion don't you get? I didn't come back with snarky comments when you all said it was so great, one of the best places around, great pizza & burgers....yes yes yes...it probably is. I have eaten there probably 15-20 times........I am not new to this area, I was born & raised here, lived here 50+ years, own a business here, most of you probably even know who I am so don't go giving me negative crap about what I posted. 1 horrible meal & a loud loud loud promo guy giving away beer coozies with the juke box blasting made it for a not so pleasant night. That's all I'm saying guys....and I never considered Shooters to be a 30 something hang out, esp. at 6:30 on a Monday night. Maybe 8:30 9:00 on a Thursday or Friday or Sat. but Monday night there were many couples in there eating and not there to drink or party. That being said......guess I'll stick to JT's...great food there & not too loud and yes, it's a 30 something with families but I can at least carry on a conversation. And note to "Winnisquam Guy"...really? Do you need to insult me like that? Get a hobby? Really? You, sir, are an idiot, sorry but you are. And I am generally verrrrrrrrry happy with 99.9% of the restaurants I eat at, had a bum night at Shooters, excuse the crap outta me!! Make ya feel like a big guy....???

Well, looks like someone takes things really serious.. As for me, I just had an "exceptional" hamburger with onions at the local McD's and it was so good I went and got a second one. Great place.

It seems like you and dpg take your policing of this forum very seriously if you can't resist pointing out every time a new member posts a negative or positive review. Are you perchance the dock nazis at Glendale who try to tell people how to dock their boats?

gillygirl No, but I got the town to stop piling snow in the handicap spaces.

Local girl, welcome to the forum. Sorry your first post had to create so much negativity to you.

Hope you can get by this and enjoy the forum. I do remember my first posts, and was always afraid of saying "the wrong thing". Fortunately back then, there were so many very tolerant and helpful folks. Maybe not as many now.

Then as a forum moderator, you should realize two things. Firstly, it is up to the moderator to determine if a post is spam or not; and secondly, members are not supposed to be rude to other members, new or senior.
