Especially when it happens on equivalence threads :-D

If only it could happen more quickly! Perhaps an edit to the "Complain" options:

I'm honestly curious - I skip the thread that does not interest me; why should any thread be locked if it's polite and civil regardless of the topic?
 
BTW: Equivalence is live and soul of this forum.

The problem are the following groups:

Group A: Persons not able to skip a thread they are not interested in.

Group B: Persons not able to be civil, if somebody doesn't praise the gear they spent money on.

The real problem with this forum is that if anyone happens to praise whatever m4/3 product they have bought, some feel the need to explain why they are wrong and should not be praising the product. Examples of what m4/3 can't achieve (not taken by the proponents) are displayed with great flourish.

If the OP tries to explain why they are happy with their choice, they are then accused of being a fanboy (rarely a fangirl - the accusers are often afraid of girls). Further examples of why they are wrong are brought forth, usually some chart or whatever from the DPR archives or Dxo website.

Then the thread sinks to the bottom after the equivalence police come out to ensure that no one can possibly be happy with anything m4/3, once again referencing the same, tired, old examples.

Finally, the thread dies with posts about how Fuji produces such film like JPGs and Sony can shoot at ISO 64 trillion with a DR of 128 stops and a DoF of 0.7mm with a 16mm f5.6 lens (equivalent to f1.2 on m4/3).

I often start reading a thread that I am interested in and that thread descends into nastiness, moving away from the original idea/post.

I don’t need to have my gear praised at all, but nor do I want to be constantly informed of its failngs. I know it has compromises, I considered those when I bought it. I did so because the compromises of other systems were bigger negatives to me.

Perhaps we should go on the Forums of bigger formats and every time we see a post celebrating a photo or some achievement post a comment about the size or weight that you had to lug around to get it. Or comment on how much you had to spend to get it.

Would that not soon cheese people off?

This is MICRO FOUR THIRDS forum, after all. 😉

ironically DPR have provided a simple solution for everyone wanting to not see these posts on equivalence, it's called the ignore button

So, this justifies trolling by the “equivalence trolls”. It is not always easy to avoid these posts.

if they indeed trolls as you put it, why constantly confront them and get into arguments over something DPR has done an article on and explained in depth, just simply ignore them, surely your time here will be better for it?

No, this is not a solution. The solution that DPR provided is called the PST forum and it is there where all E posts should go.

DPR has already said these discussion are ok for this forum, my point is is this, no one has to get involved in these threads or discussions if they don't want to and the ignore button can be very helpful in this regard, unless DPR's position changes then i'm afraid equivalence threads/discussions will pop up from time to time.
