Forums prefer a premise of open and free discussion and often adopt de facto standards. Most common topics on forums include questions, comparisons, polls of opinion, as well as debates. It is not uncommon for nonsense or unsocial behavior to sprout as people lose temper, especially if the topic is controversial. Poor understanding of differences in values of the participants is a common problem on forums. Because replies to a topic are often worded aimed at someone's point of view, discussion will usually go slightly off into several directions as people question each other's validity, sources and so on. Circular discussion and ambiguity in replies can extend for several tens of posts of a thread eventually ending when everyone gives up or attention spans waver and a more interesting subject takes over. It is not uncommon for debate to end in ad hominem attacks.

Ammi is the biggest troublemaker...

There, I've taken a shortcut and gone straight for an ad hominem attack :hee:

I find the debates on forums are better than on social media like Twitter.

Twitter is a cesspool.

When I read it, I did comment to my wife (an avid / professional Twitter user) that it applies well to all social media and she agrees :joker:.

Sock puppet
Main article: Sockpuppet (Internet)
The term sock puppet refers to multiple pseudonyms in use by the same person on a particular message board or forum. The analogy of a sock puppet is of a puppeteer holding up both hands and supplying dialogue to both puppets simultaneously. A typical use of a sockpuppet account is to agree with or debate another sockpuppet account belonging to the same person, for the purposes of reinforcing the puppeteer's position in an argument. Sock puppets are usually found when an IP address check is done on the accounts in forums.


..I haven’t heard of a sock puppet before...I guess that’s someone debating with themselves on two multi accounts..?..

my mom had an pretty much argument last week on facebook, way nastier than any of the debates here, how that guy replied to her when she stood up against animal cruelty

he just replied with a angry face emoji, and then started putting angry face emoji's at more of my mom's facebook messages


so yeah forum debates are better than social media debates

I've deleted the posts about banned members.

That person didn't ever have an actual sock-puppet account, as far as I remember, anyway. Sock-puppetry is when you have multiple accounts on the go at once with the specific purpose of bolstering your own opinion.

Yes and my comment still relates to multiple accounts used to bolster their own opinion. :smug:
