i would replace it with just a News section where stories are posted and they can be discussed but it’s not like random threads where they’re like ‘I hate women, discuss?’ where it just delves into a mess

An honest and reasoned post, there has been a lot of finger pointing going on, people in glass houses spring to mind, we are trying to address the problems in SD which are not all about bans btw, and hopefully it will be resolved so everyone is happy. |
The issue is, people go on to the threads, take no interest in the topic, read through it a bit, see its turned in to a bit of a fight, and join in with the fighting/defending the ones fighting.
Its a new-ish issue. This thread was first made back when the main issue was that the subforum had tens of very similar threads by the same people, and the large bulk of the convos there was along the lines of “FREEDOM OF SPEECH U SNOWFLAKE” but thats not really a thing anymore. Its steadily improving imo. |

Its a bit less relevant now, but I still think breaking that forum into two different elements would help. |
I think news should be completely seperated from serious debates, like it used to be.
|
Put it in a social group of something, no one joins a low brow reality tv forum for a serious debate .

Literally no one joins this forum because of that section, it adds nothing to the site. I don't know why the admin/mods put themself through the drama of keeping it. |

and here, im not causing drama/taking issue with the thread but it’s an example of a thread that asks a question for a debate, they do exist unlike what you said http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=336827
|
i still think it needs to be axed bc i have it on ignore so it’s obviously not needed? if it was that important i would post in there all the time bc i’m the best member on the site
|
No keep it I like it for the mess

The nature of Debate is that people will argue their opinions, it's not called Serious Tea Party |

Why should it be culled ? most people calling for that don't even go in there.sometimes it's nice to have some adult talk,and threads with long posts and substance people don't have to come in there if they don't want to, I don't go in threads that don't interest me, I have also learnt a few things from SD,so no just because a few don't like it ,it shouldn't be spoilt for the ones that do,The forum would actually be a boring place off season if not for SD.

i wanted to post more on SD because i wanted to show my serious side as well on here, but now this recent drama has put me off that part of the forum a bit
|
To be serious here for a moment I can understand why the young members dont like or understand it. I remember hating my dad watching the news when I was small as it was "boring"
I think once you have lived for a while and you have a house maybe some kids and a job "news" becomes more interesting as do politics - its roughly when you realise that people in power are actually total clueless dickeads just like yourself and it all gets a bit worrying So younger members dont worry about SD as it will become more alluring when you get older. :) |

the only problem I have with it is that it pops up in my sidebar even on ignore and the cliqueism which is arguably the worse on here
there is a point about the forum being a reality tv/pop culture forum, it is juxtaposed onto here and it tries to make out it’s all serious but it ends up looking like a house of commons sat in the middle of a pride parade lmao |

Really, how does that work? I dont get how you have so much to say about it when you have never made a thread in it or voiced an opinion there? Fear can lead to resentment and the way to conquer that fear is to take part? |
Can I just say real quick that this whole ‘well you dont contribute to it, so what would you know’ thing a few of you have going on is bollocks
I barely ever post in the private forum, or the music forum, but I have a good understanding of the types of conversation that go on there, and the type of tone they have. Not being part of the problem doesnt make you unqualified to discuss it |
Quote:
the point stands and unless people participate and make threads i cant see how an opinion, other than one of prejudice, be properly formed join in and then form a view otherwise, stay in your lane |
Quote:
Scott you need to Post on that section more. Even Folks from around the World post on it. No one has a Fecking GUN to your head - saying read every thread.......................................... Life In The City |

how nice |

But you are Learning So all is good. |

I’d argue its the opposite of this if anything, if people are actively avoiding the subforum for any reason, their perspective is just as relevant as yours. If not, more so. (Obviously its not gonna be axed, its a discussion on a hypothetical, get off your high horse! You dont own imaginary scenarios). |

I dont play any of the "games" on this site and frankly if they all stopped i could care less, but i know people like them and i know sometimes they cause drama but I would never slate them or call for them to be axed. |
