Posting this in here as my the game thread is having a debate on something else.

With the Razzies could we not just trial it this once with an Opt-in method and have it in a private sub forum (like the pub quiz team rooms) to keep it off the forum?

Most of the drama didn't come from the actual awards itself.

I'm just throwing this out as a possible option as a lot of the forum have no problem with the awards, and it is forum tradition to have it and now it is banned.

[thesheriff443]

that will only divide the forum even more! keep things out in the open or not at all.
members that go to far get banned.

[Benjamin]

Oh, I was meant to post this in the suggestions sub-forum.

[T*]

We should try this 100%

I'm opting out, but if they do go ahead I'd like to see them. However, I'd rather they went ahead for the people that wanted to take part, and I don't get to see them if that's what needs to happen.

Somebody tell me the game

Oh come on the razzies was fun. I think I was called biggest fail in the last one but idc

[Benjamin]

It's an award ceremony based on the Raspberry Awards that look at give out awards to worst sub forum, biggest fail, worst thread, worst game, most annoying member etc.

Most of us took it all in good spirits but a few members had issues with it so after 6 years has been banned to the dungeons to join Controversy.

It's a sort of anti-awards, where people are recognised for tongue-in-cheek contributions, rather than positive contributions like the other awards hosted on here. I think there were awards last time for things like "most obsessed", or "most argumentative" etc.

This is a better description than I gave, read this one.

That sounds like a amazing game

It was actually pretty fun throughout, and just because something different is happening around the place, you get to talk to more/different people. The awards ceremony was a good night last year, but that's all I can probably say on the matter.

ben go and see the doctor

It's been a staple of the forum for years and shouldn't be binned because of a few people causing disruptions... opt them out and allow no discussion of said people so the Razzies can go ahead and TiBB can have another night to remember to stop this place from going even further into grim mode.

[Brother Leon]

Razzies are great. Forever will take pride of my Fail Of The Year award when I had been signed up for just a month

I think it's a great idea if you opt in you can see it, if you opt out, you're not involved in anything you might see as hurtful and no arguments can really come of it

There's the "spill onto the forum" aspect of it but I see that just as a reason for someone to be infracted.

Well if it's a sub forum then anyone who has opted in should be able to make threads in there, as soon as people start discussing it out of there then infractions should be handed out

I'm all for the sub forum idea

If it leaks out. Punish the ones who leak it out.

Exactly, and have the "sub-forum" heavily moderated so no one in there starts slandering those who have opted out.

[Marcus.]
