theoretical example based on a real thread about a different subject.....somebody starts a thread here about the new Boss 302 and the fourth post is somebody saying 'yeah, but it's still a crap-stang and Camaro's rule....check and see what forum you are one'. Mod interaction.....nothing.
I know of a Mustang forum where that same reaction to a post about say, the new Z28, would absolutely garner that user a warning. Why? Because it's rude, that's why.
And I think that is where the buggy went astray here. Rude is rude, it shouldn't matter is they are being pro-Camaro or pro-whatever when they are being rude and, to be blunt, trolling....but here I think that how your comments are perceived in terms of pro-this or that does matter. The issue should be they are being rude and creating problems, but I think too often it isn't.

The mustang forum gave him a warning, but not the warning about someone being bluntly rude about their mustang. Its the same thing on both forums. And the rules (or close to the same) on both forums. I think the difference is on a camaro forum you can say pro-camaro trolling and be ok and on a mustang forum its pro-mustang trolling and its fine. Either way my point is there is more trolling right now and they are handling it fine. The only thing i think they need to do is close re posts instead of merging them. Just like the mustang forum. They closed three threads about the z28 picture that was showing it beating the 2011 gt500 and kept one open. Same thing they need to do here. Delete rude and obnoxious comments on both sides.
