As we know, on this forum occasionally rude unnecessary 'arguments' occur. This is not what I am talking about.
In the past few months I have been involved in civil debates over what another member has possibly said. The replies to these on my part have rarely broken official rules. However they have to be deleted (somewhat understandably) as they can ruin the ambiance of the thread in question. Similar to what just happened in beloved Marc's thread. What I am requesting is not a thread for arguing. But a thread where posts which may ruin one thread can be moved to, so that when someone wants to get their point across in a civil way to another member, they can. So that neither party; the thread maker, nor so called 'arguer', has to have their part ruined or feel they are being unjustly treated. Of course the threadm if leaved as an argument thread would just result to petty insults and an animalistic mess. So rules would need to be made clear to begin with that it is about civil debate resolving, not baiting or insults. This is what I do feel could improve the forum, because it does not unjustly delete people's posts when they have done no wrong but then does also not ruin the thread where a minuscule 'conflict' could arise. Maybe a possible trial could be put in place or a vote so we could see if it would help keep peace in other threads but let people have their opinions when used in an intelligent calm manor. Also it could make a good read for some other members on a later date ![]() Please do not just disregard this idea because it is 'CharlieO' suggesting it.

I like the sound of your idea CharlieO,but I don't think the Mods or Admins would take the risk due to some members abusing it I think.

That's why there would need to be clear well written rules and severe consequences would be taken if people over step the mark.

Because the moderators mass delete like crazy as soon as anything close to a debate occurs.

Just PM each other instead of spamming threads.

That's because those posts aren't related to the thread what so ever, even if it is my thread about wet wipes lol

Yeah that does annoy me a bit really. It used to be able to pan out more. But threads are locked quite quickly these days. (And this probably will too)

I'm all for a total cesspit of a thread or subforum where we can slag each other off for the laugh. Have no rules in it and make the rules for the rest of the place tougher. It would instantly be a million times better than the crap chat threads we have.
I want it for the entertainment value though. Not for the type of wanky, faux moralistic reasons you are trying to peddle. You can always just PM people, you know. Of course nobody would see you then and it wouldn't count, right? Besides it absoloutely wouldn't stop things from breaking out in other parts of the forum. If anything it would increase it.

That is a fair point. However I will explain why it does not work.
A thread is far more easily quotable. Also if you PM someone they just accuse you of 'baiting' and 'stalking' on the basis that they cannot ignore a PM. If someone wishes to leave a thread and not reply they can easily do so. A PM can not be left unopened unless you want an outstanding notification and not readily ignored. A thread would work better as one can't be accused of spamming an inbox.

Yes and that is why I am asking for things to be moved into a designated thread rather than deleted all together. So nothing is ruined.

People will want to reply to a thread because it's in a public space and they want to be seen getting the better of the situation. PM's are incredibly easy to read, ignore and delete. I've done it countless times in the past with people who were not worth my time. |
