As you said NSMB is way better than PB because people don't flame each other on politics and personal beliefs. The only arguing I see on NSMB is why somebody prefers a certain bike or geometry and even then it is always done respectfully.

LOL

LOLing at your LOL

I was always under the impression that PB comments and forums were a cesspool of teen male bullshit. 

...

This. 

Misogyny there comes through too strong for fully formed brains.

Almost every online forum should be moderated in some fashion for obvious reasons.

PB does an objectively shit job of moderating its users and has for years, their comment section is a joke.

Here is the article I am talking about - https://www.pinkbike.com/news/mathieu-van-der-poel-pleads-guilty-to-assault-after-altercation-with-teenage-girls.html don't know if you thought I was talking about a different one.

Pretty sure its been sanitized as I took another look out of dumpster fire curiosity and still didn't find anything other than some slightly off-side roadie jokes..... got bored after a couple pages though.

That's funny that they only decide to mod it now, I suppose the interaction rate was starting to slow down.

I think their comment section drives a lot of traffic through the site. Hence not much incentive for the admins to do anything about it.

Can't recall the last time I actually looked at a Pinbike article as only time go there is to wander the buy and sell section. 

Comment section? Good place to remind oneself why I despise people.
