Well?

[Marc]

I personally don't care if the move to merge them was made and thats that... I wasn't 'active' when the decision was made.

I personally like the crazy news articles and they provide a little insight into the lighthearted going's on in the world and I don't want to have to just read the serious threads about how horrible the world is.

Yet when these 'lighthearted' threads get made people are always up in the OP's grill with 'oh this isn't very serious' etc. etc. I've seen it plenty of times now. Either deal with the fact that other 'news stories' get posted in the 'Serious Debate & News Stories' sub-section or lets have something done about it.

I don't mind either way but have voted yes.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Wow Nathan's post really got to you didn't it

[Marc]

It's not just about Nathan's post though, I have myself posted threads in that section about funny stories and people moan at you or make snide comments.

[King Gizzard]

Yes, once a news story becomes a debate it can easily be moved, news stories are starting to get posted in general chat

[Niamh.]

Does it really matter that much?

[Marc]

Thing is, I see about 3/4 of the threads in this section being non-serious debates.

You tell those who reply saying 'this isn't very serious' that

[King Gizzard]

Yes it does it's annoying

[Marc]

I think Prime Minister Nathan should do something about it

[Ammi]

..you Mods should sort it out in Towers..you're the ones who have to move threads around

A valid point, I agree.

Then maybe the subsection title should be changed

[InOne]

It should be unmerged. All those silly poems that end up there aren't serious and sometimes have no idea what they're even about.

[MTVN]

Is this thread a serious debate Marc?

[Marc]

It's serious in my heart.

[Jordan.]

No it's fine as it is.

I think there should be 'Serious Debates' and then just a forum called 'News', where any type of news stories that aren't to do with music, films etc (that have other forums) could go. As Nathan said any story that turns into a debate could easily be moved.

I also don't see the point in General Chat and Chat & Games (as in both of them existing) as they're near enough the same, so General Chat should go.

No

I think if they are separated, then maybe a little more leeway should be allowed in the serious debate section. I've seen threads lose their way because of posts being deleted, and relevant conversations that are not abusive or personal being stopped in their tracks.

In a time of off season for BB, then any thread that has the potential to drag all comers in should be encouraged in my view.
