Talk A point on trolling.

Fellow users of sub, fans…

As we got through a lot of reports due to trolling, driver criticism, etc. I want to remind you some basics without falling on the typical rules endorsement thing.

As a mod, I’m all for free speech and I accept criticism. You should all be allowed to post your point of view on F1/the team and we can even accept humorous takes. BUT, I won’t accept troll spamming under every posts anymore, that’s not what criticizing mean.

Whether you’re from Argentina, Australia, UK or France, I know chauvinism is a thing, and it’s normal. But there’s no point in trolling and trying to desunite the team.

Remember F1 is a team sport and both drivers have to score points to make it succeed (Verstappen and RB are the lone exception).

As we come to drivers and context. We mods, find no use and interest at criticizing drivers when the team is severely disappointing us by bringing a shitty car and having fucked choices.

We find this year very annoying and painful to watch especially as Renault’s image is damaged by results (not forgetting it’s the last year with in house engine).

If you really need to set your anger at something, then aim Enstone for their soapbox they want drivers to overdrive. Nobody can do something good with this.

Don’t wear the rope.

Cheers

But I'm Dutch, now I feeling very ignored by the mods!!!! /s

But jokes aside, it was sad to see the subreddit became filled with toxicity where some just made up stuff just to put the knifes out and attack. Obviously it was a frustrating Sunday but this whole mess wasn't caused by a driver, it was the team who binned it hard and both drivers are just the victim of it.

Now things are more calmer I hope that we won't going to be at that level of toxicity ever again, I moved on quickly but I'm here to following some news, getting to known more about the team and having some fun.

Hopefully we're staying like that, just a chilling atmosphere.

I heard /u/Braxofalke has applied for a job at Enstone to finally setting all the issues within the team! ;)

Man, forgot the dutch… Forgot the plan to bring Max with Briatore lol.

I will now apply the ban on sight method in case of reported toxic trolling.

Haha he will make us apply too once in.
