Immature online journalism

[SgtMajorMedic]

A significant quantity of the articles on the tomshardware.co.uk are very immature in their nature.
There are male adolescent histrionic writing that are extemely colloquial and slang reliant.
They frequently include immature sexual connotation's.
I notice it tends occur a lot in articles regarding Ireland, so I assume the writer(s) is Irish.
It really is irritating and should not be a site like this.

Who is the editor of this site? Maybe it's the same writer.

Well this forum is called Tom's Hardware Site Feedback.

It does not say it's only for things you like about our site.

I do go elsewhere also, eg. extremetech.com, but Toms has alot of good stuff.

There were others worse than this, but I can't wade through the archive to get at them.

I hope he's not in trouble!

This is most definitely the section for this.

Alright. I'm looking at that report, which seems to be specific to the UK version of the site. A certain amount of slang is acceptable. Being incomprehensible is not.

I will check with editorial on this issue.
