Any form of threatening, harassing, or violence / physical harm towards anyone will result in a ban

We have posted this before, but this needs to be reiterated.

We understand that many of you are emotionally driven to discuss your feelings on recent events, most notably the repeal of Net Neutrality - however inciting violence towards others is never ok. It is upsetting that we even have to post this.

Do we enjoy banning people for these types of offences? No... Many of us feel as if the system has failed and want some form of repercussion. But threats of violence and harassment are not the answer here.

And to be clear - here are some examples of what will get you banned:

I hope this PoS dies in a car fire

I want to punch him in the face til his teeth fall out

And if you are trying to be slick by using this form

I never condone violence but...

I would never say he should die but...

Im not one to wish death upon but...

Let's keep the threads civil.

If you violate this rule, you will be banned for 30 days, no exceptions

Is software becoming worse as we continue into the future?

Seems like simple things like obvious settings choices and other such stuff that was once common in software, no matter for what device, was better implemented and less buggy just a decade ago. Everything has bugs of course, but it seems as if more bugs are occurring and less settings options. Is stability and usability being sacrificed for looks or features as time goes on? Is that what advancement is?
