It shouldn't be axed but I think people should make more of an effort to try and just stick to the topics of threads rather than eachother

I think it does rather open the floodgates to pointless political arguments, which a lot of the time can create more personal insults than most topics, but at the same time, the topics would just end up being somewhere else and in fairness, if people can't be mature enough to listen to other people's opinions than actually listening to another side of an argument and instead act like mentally challanged children, then at least the SD section is keeping them off the streets.

If it was down to me, I'd get rid. It's pretty much impossible to mod that section and most threads end up down the toilet before long.

If people stuck to the topic, it would be excellent. But some dont, and their offtopic posts are left for people to respond to making the whole thing pointless.

it should be left alone
people who can't take the heat shouldn't visit it, that's all, there's plenty of other subforums
re. personal attacks, lack of SD wouldn't make a difference, BB threads can get very personal and vicious too, but you'd not even think of getting rid of those

Replace her with a Ru Paul’s Drag Race subforum instead! Let’s argue about lip syncs not brexit!

I'd say no, i always read them but after seeing how nasty it tends to become i just read and stay out of it because it like some members enjoy being just plain argumentative. This is not pointed at anyone in particular.

I suppose the title alone suggests it should be spent solely for debating so it's inevitably going to end up looking heated and exhausting, so I would just condense it into the General Chat bit just to save the hassle (if there's a change at all, which I'm not fussy about)

No, I think some just need to take a tech break more often if a forum has that much influence over their day to day emotional well-being... there is more to the life than what happens behind a computer screen. Balance is all that is needed.
