Can we have a fight thread?

[Zippy]

I think we should have a thread where we can insult each other freely. Those who enter do so at their own peril.

It would also stop drama polluting other threads. Unlike that hate poll thing which drags all members into it regardless then insults them anonymously and in a gangbang way, this would be a truly opt in thread.

It would be like in a prison where they have a special fightpit place where they sort out there differences.

pretty please :)

It'd drag ill feeling all over the forums though.

but that happens anyways

This is a good idea.

[James]

Might seem like a good idea in theory but in practise would just cause more trouble.

[Kerry]

No one would post anywhere else and it'd turn into a riot thread guarenteed. Following that there'd be ill feeling all over the board due to what was said in there.

the ill feeling is already there. It continues because its never allowed to play itself out properly.

I 100% agree, I cannot personally see the point of threads created to encourage argument and negativity based more on personality than issue just for the sake of it.

[James]

Allowing arguments to run their course or letting members have it out has been tried before. The results haven't been pretty. :o

Yeah but there for all to see is just going to drag others down too surely? People who aren't even involved are going to feel uncomfortable

I get the idea. I've seen similar done on another forum. Any trolling or arguments get put in an entirely seperate forum. Trouble is people end up only posting in there for a ruckass and either way it spills over to the main board and you end up with gangs forming

Maybe you could start a social (or antisocial lol) group? That might be allowed

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

groups are pointless


nobody has replied to the epic thread i made in the 18+ group last night

Considering the cliqueness of this forum a fight thread wouldn't have any constructive or structured arguments going on that would resolve anything. All it would be is people throwing mindless insults at each other with no valid reasons to do so.
Idea isn't bad itself just it wouldn't work with the dynamics of the forum.
Plus if a 'fight' is deemed necessary by both parties surely they can just pm and not get others involved.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i was looking for that before :amazed:

i didnt know what it was called though

Its called I Lied face. Its my fave meme atm. <3

[Doogle]

Charlie is so right.

A fight about...idk..McDonalds, for example, would end up being about Leona, GaGa, Rihanna GIFS etc.

[Zippy]

Charlie is so right.

No

if its too much for you then just stay out

[Doogle]

No

if its too much for you then just stay out

I didn't say I didn't want it to happen.

I just know how every argument would relate to that.

well you say PM but then insulting PMs get reported too so really its not even allowed to take fights there.

Allowing arguments to run their course or letting members have it out has been tried before. The results haven't been pretty. :o

Maybe we need to try it again. It's good for these sort of issues to be addressed. Of course, there is always PM, but having a more open type of thread where people can contribute and agree to choose a side and an opposition has the potential to be useful. If, however, they choose to keep a private debate, that's partly what PM is there for. Of course, there are always going to be things said on threads that lead to sub-fights, but, other than PM, more active discussion, wherein the members can support or disagree with stated comments has the potential to be useful. It's just when people abuse such privilege, with such things as picking a fight with somebody over the slightest of things, is when the continuity of such type of thread needs to be debated and taken into consideration. It would be far preferable if members could just get along, but, as stated in a previous thread, it simply won't happen. Try putting this idea into consideration; but I don't think it's very fair that, because of a few members who like to troll and bait, this type of privilege should be permanently revoked and and deemed as to what can be considered to be nonconstructive debate. Perhaps you could moderate this by allowing a thread wherein members can challenge each other if they feel they have been treated unfairly, with sides opposing or supporting, rather than having to have threads closed and receiving infractions or bans constantly. Think about it. :)

well now that the moral hippy brigade(and a couple of hypocrites) have swamped the thread I'll make a couple of points;

Firstly, Im exagerrating to make a point; I don't really envisage an all out insulting and abuse throwing thread. Just a place where members can have their disagreements without it disrupting the thread topic and getting it closed.

Secondly, bad feelings and arguments break out everyday here, lets not pretend otherwise. Suggesting these should be designated a certain area is hardly outrageous or extreme; its actually sensible and realistic.

but heyho, I actually knew this was a nogo. This thread was started in a fit of boredom after rain ruined my plans.

Well said Kerry,I have never understood the need to throw insults unnecessarily at each other, it solves little,often inflames situations and is extremely tedious for others to see or hear.

This forum is not the place for such negativity,it's a discussion/debating forum on a wide range of topics not used at present than goodness for often near poorly reasoned attacks on other people on the forum just for the fun of it.

This wouldnt happen though realistically. Look at the 'spam here' thread we tried. People wouldnt get enough attention if they did it in a seperate thread so it would still spill over onto the forum.

Yeah, the troll tank? I think everyones up for a fight tonight or something. It's been too much of a laugh on here lately. :joker:

[Stu]

The worst kind of people who the fight thread would be designed for would inevitably never be used by them anyway. The reason why they drag tedious arguments of their arsehole and beat people to death with them is because they want everyone to see it happen and see it happen in the thread.

Then if your like a certain member when you get bored or feel it's not going your way you can suddenly request that it be taken to PM instead which is strange considering you wait seven hundred and sixty seven posts in to the shitstorm to make such a polite request.

The mods should make sure threads have as little fights as possible. Not try and concentrate it all into one thread, IMO.

[Smithy]

-cba reading the last 3 pages-

There's sections on forums - no holds barred, where pretty much anything goes, it keeps arguments off of the main forum too

[Benjamin]

Why do people feel the need to insult people online? Have you nothing better to do with your time? Yes there may be people you do not like, just avoid them, easily done online and we have the 'ignore' feature, even easier to avoid them.

[Smithy]

ignore is crap, you can still see that they've posted, If I want to ignore someone I don't want to be reminded they're on the forum at all

[Kerry]

ignore is crap, you can still see that they've posted, If I want to ignore someone I don't want to be reminded they're on the forum at all

So a thread just for the arguments would be twice as bad :laugh:

[Vicky.]

Thats true. I had one person on ignore before I became a mod(now I cant have anyone on ignore :sad: )

It annoyed the hell out of me knowing that they had posted so I always clicked the 'view post' thing, which kinda defeated the object of having them on ignore.

Also you can see if someone else quotes them :/
