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.

The lighthearted news stories are currently meant to go in general chat, theres a thread about it at the top of this forum, this is why people get pissed when others post things like 'woman dyes her cat pink' in this section

But yeah, I think they should be unmerged. I dont really see why they were merged in the first place

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.

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

Not all news stories are serious, so I could never understand news stories and serious debates being merged. There are so many places here to discuss trivia and so few places to discuss something serious, I think that serious debates should stand on its own.

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

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.
