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

But the MODs should move them when they see them and we don't. We're lazy disgusting people.

I like the crazy news articles and if a lady dyed her cat pink, I sure would love to read about it.

I think they should be separate. You have to establish whether a news story is serious enough to put in a section that is for serious debates, and if not, place it in general chat. Would it not be easier having the two separate?

I would guess that would be up to the OP or a moderator (if the story was moved). If News stories was separate then you wouldn't have that problem.

I don't think MODs should have that power though, we can't deem what is serious in the world of news. I mean we're amazing and everything, but we're not capable of shaping people's opinions on what is serious or not.

That is why there would be no need for anyone to move anything if there was a separate section. ALL news stories would be in the same section, serious or not.

It's as if we've come to a conclusion.

Well serious stories are just those like murders, riots, disasters, political topics, things you would actually have a serious debate or reaction to, which you wouldn't with joke stories which only really serve to amuse

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.

The News Stories section still appears under general chat on the main forum page so that could be a bit confusing for some people tbh.
