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. |

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

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.

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. |

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. Last edited by Jesus.; 02-04-2012 at 11:31 AM. |
