I think that SodaHead should delete all these, "RAVE THIS IF YOU THINK OBAMA IS DESTROYING HAPPINESS AMONG..." or "RAVE THIS IF YOU THINK CONSERVATIVES ARE MURDERING..." questions. They have no substance or point. They thrive off of hate. It would be like a talk show where you have two terrible debaters screaming "I LIKE IT!" and "I DON'T LIKE IT!" and after a couple minutes the host says, "and that is all the time we have! Be sure to tune in tomorrow for more anger!"
I'm ok with opinionated people, but when you have 20 demagogues screaming in both directions, no progress is made. We have freedom of speech, but SodaHead still has a right to delete things that are not helpful.
I want to stress that I don't think they should delete partisanship or even plain insults, but they should delete drivel without a point.
Thank you. Please treat each other with respect in this question. I am posting this in the political section because that is where this problem occurs most.

This site exists to generate money for the owners, and no other reason.
Therefore it doesn't matter to them how inane, moronic or repetitive the questions are, just as long as we keeping clicking away...
They only care about quantity not quality.
That isnt going to change.
I've been here for 2 years; before the stupid levels & points system was implemented.
The overall site content quality was much higher back then, IMO.
But its a free site and we're all here by choice.
What would be great would be some new features like ignore (don't see posts by certain users) and thumbs down scores, but only for specific posts and questions, not swarming on specific users.
Content regardless of nature or meaning behind them = activity = search engine spiders = popularity = revenue for the site.
It wont change. Should they for our sanity? YEAH. Will they - no they would be killing their cash cow. I think Fef and his team are doing a fine enough job as it is considering this entire site is custom programming. lol.
Yes, spam is annoying. So are the solicitous e-mails most of us women on sodahead get regularly. So is the ignorance and bigotry and small mindedness displayed daily online.
I ignore it just like I ignore the unwanted flyers in my literal mail box.
