I do not see what advice I need to be taken. I am not upset over anything at all. All I am suggesting is a place where posts can be moved to so that an debate can be finished/resolved rather than being deleted half way through.

I am not suggesting a fight thread. I am suggesting a 'resolve your debate thread rather than it being deleted out of the blue' thread.

I am not suggesting arguments that are so outrageous that they would spill over. I just want a thread where debates with fully justified points can be carried on rather than just to be straight deleted as if we are under such control of you moderators that part of us just can get erased at your choosing.

It could be a rule that others are not to join with out both parties consent.

Please just relate this to my original post and what I proposed not the baboons shouting for a 'Fight Club'.

They would though Charlie. I don't think it's a risk we should take.

Also I don't want newbies coming on to loads of arguments.

So if these debates are so acceptable in a public space - their only crime driving other threads off topic - why does it require a specialist thread? Why not just give the debate it's own thread for it to carry on?

You could always trial it for a month in off season. There aren't that many new members so it shouldn't affect it massively. And we could get a finite answer if you trial it.

It isn't like this is the government. There is no harm in trying. You can always revert it with no affect.

Because the moderators would not allow it, as it apparently puts new members off. In affect that is what I am asking for though. One single thread or a thread for each debate I do not mind.

Charlie, just take it to PM, if the person doesn't want to reply to you via PM, they probably won't want to reply to you in an argument thread either. Seems to me like you just want an audience to watch you argue with and try to belittle people.

I'm just finding your paper thin logic a bit of a poor mask to be honest. You want a thread for what would otherwise be deleted stuff to be allowed carry on. Oh but there is nothing wrong with this stuff ... it was just in the wrong place at the wrong time? And this absoloutely wouldn't become a slagging thread? If there was nothing wrong with the material in the first place it would be allowed continue ... just in a thread of it's own. In one of the many subforums. It doesn't need a new one.

It just sounds like you want the chastity belt to be taken off so you can get knee deep in the clunge. Now your argument is being watered down to the point of multiple debate threads? We have multiple debate threads. All the time. What is new about what you are suggesting?

G'wan away with your gay debate thread. We want a thread where people can kick each others teeth down their throats.

I agree with this.

I see this thread being closed soon :joker:

lmao sh.

Fight fight fight!!!!

I like that you have raised this Charlie, for 2 reasons.

1 It's definitely an interesting suggestion, and worth a debate.

2 I know now who slagged me off with a vicious comment in a recent awards thread, by something said in here, choice of words is very revealing. Tsk, am surprised at you. Dont bother with a comeback, cos I dont care anymore. (I dont mean Charlie btw, its not him)

Who is it then? Because I don't see the merit in stirring the pot unless you're willing to list the ingredients. Sorry but it smacks of attention seeking.

I think an argument sub forum would do more harm than anything else. As someone else has pointed out, things would spill out into the forum.

I don't think it would work.

Stu/Kate if this is going to become something, take it to PM please

Nah it's not me. At least I don't think so. Her message is a bit cryptic. I read the thread again and I can't see anything to do with her.

Round 1 ding ding ding

I'm looking forward to Round 2.:joker:

Seems completely pointless and more trouble then it'd be worth.

See this thread itself is turning into what I think would happen.

Snarky little comments and leading to tensions being built. The proper way to ease it all is by PMing each other, away from the eyes of everybody else.

Nope, no fight etc, as Stu says this isnt going to become anything.

I just spotted something that was a dead giveaway, there will be no arguing with anyone in here, via pm or anywhere at all. As I said, I dont care. I got tons of support and have plenty of friends on here, not interested in anyone who has to knock me to feel good.
End of.

woooo Kate calm it down calm it down.

Sorry to disappoint you Tom, I am calm, its you who seems to want to promote trouble, I suggest you stop and calm down yourself. :hug:

hahaha

I'll do an Orwell on it myself. Gentlemanly bastard that I am.

If you actually read my posts you would understand that what you said in this post is not the case.

I have no problem with a person not replying in a PM, that is perfectly fine if they want to no longer continue on with a debate. It is when you get accused of spamming an inbox that I have a problem with.

That last sentence is so ****ing degrading it makes me actually angry that you have chosen to accuse me of it. I do not desire an audience to belittle people in front of. I just do not like my posts being deleted when I have broken no rules and I thought we could possibly compromise.
You mod team are such a bunch of controlling robots who will just accuse someone of the most disgusting things because they choose to disagree with a couple of things you feel are right.

I have not once belittled someone today but my posts were deleted. So you can get of your high horse and actually listen to the little people who you think you are better than.

Half of which are coming from mods themselves. I feel the conclusion must just be that the moderators are so afraid of losing even the slightest bit of power that they couldn't handle a thread where their control was the tinniest bit relaxed.

I have read your posts Charlie and I still feel exactly the same. I don't think I'm better than anyone else on here and I don't think I come across that way at all. I just can't see the logic in wanting to continue arguments but only in public, unless you want an audience to be watching. No one can accuse you of spamming their in box for sending one PM, if they don't reply to that one PM then they obviously aren't interested in continuing the argument. Simple.

Hang on Stu, why exactly are you having a go at me?

I am not airing dirty laundry as you put it. I simply realised from this thread who had slagged me off, and thought I would let them know I knew, discreetly, and without a kickoff. That's an end to it as far as I am concerned. But yes, you are right, of course I do care really, its my nature, I care to much what people think of me, but seeing as most people on here do like me, then I will just try to not let those who dont get me down.

Really? Because you seem to be the only one in here fighting for this Charlie, no one else seems that bothered :conf:

Can tomflint be banned until on-season? Cheerz.

why?

Well you certainly act like it.

The thing is in the past I have continued a debate in a PM and the person has kept replying to the messages, but then I get accused of spamming the inbox even though they replied the same amount of times.

Also it has happened that the person goes and posts in a chat thread about the whole debate but veered in their favour so it is biased.
If the debates are for all to see people can make their honest opinions on what has been said and then no one gangs up on others based on the proposed truth by the other party. And of course then the mods do nothing because the other person is liked by you lot and without the debate out there for people to see there isn't enough evidence to back it up. Does that make sense?

It is not to belittle others in front of people. I apologise that you clearly see me as a disgusting person who would want to do that but I honestly do not.

hahaha this made me laugh out loud.

Good job. You're a proper ninja at it.
