Your feelings about Chat & Conv forum in general...

Big Rick Rock

istrator
Guys,


I have been looking at some of the thread posted on here today, and noticed that little by little decency is escaping this forum and being replaced with outrageousness. Its seems more and more like people are posting for "shock value" over giving legitimate opinions or making a good argument...


What do you think? Would you like to see Chat be more about civilized conversation and exchanging of opinions with a humorous edge? Or do you like the fact members are allowed to "shock" us with their outrageousness and entertain us with their insults?


Please discuss...
 
insults sometimes are funny. The shock value is good for the most part. gets people to think. I just started posting over here and like it so far. Some topics are dumb some are good.
 
Personally I think the shock crap is just that CRAP. It kind of saddens me that you can't get a real answer to an honest question. I'm also sick of the non-stop political crap could we have a forum for that shit? Those always degrade into mud slinging, no real opinions are voiced, and basically they waste space. I'm not sure how to go about "cleaning" up in a decency sense of the word since a lot of people will have a different standard for what is polite, decent, and civilized.

Cheers,
Scotsman
 
opinions/arguments/debates = meh




i'm in it for the laugh and storytelling
 
I think politics/ humor/ shock are all good.

I think that when every thread or comment is mo/ or gay shit for the sake of just saying something gay it gets stupid and genuinely takes away from the site. A gay rights or whatever thread can be interesting. All those other dumb fucking ones are a waste.
 
The ironic thing is posts made simply for shock value land far from their intention (to highlight how 'edgy' the originator is)....Sergei Eisenstein was edgy....Rothko was edgy...James Joyce was edgy. C&C...not so much :D

BRR - you, me and a few other logical folks here know that this place right now is mere shambles of what is used to be in terms of "shock" and "decency" (your terms, definitely not mine). The only difference is that it used to be presented in witty and well thought out ways. Now it's just boring. But either way, the only that has changed around here is admin's decision (which is 100% theirs to make, no qaulms about it) to selectively censor as much as possible.

Let's keep it real. Everything you are talking about comes down to subjectivity and censorship. And it's 100% your's and admin's call to make. No doubt about that.
 
I'm for non-censorship. It's what will make this place great.. If someone is highly offensive, I'll put them on ignore.. Of course there are exceptions when some people go over the top..

Btw, You're all a bunch of cunts.
 
You guys already took away everything fun about this forum...if you take away the shock threads, what's left? I can't stand the one liner/gay threads that go 20 pages and contain about 75 words total, but you'll have that.

If you take away anything else, you'll have to rename this to the "Stick Up My Butt" forum because only boring people will bother to post here. Lestat will still be here of course.

Pardon me sir, but could I trouble you for a spot of tea?
 
most people who get into those kinds of arguements dont even care about anyone's opinion but their own....so on the internets when nobody "has to listen to anybody" and everyone can be a hardass, "discussions" (arguements) get nowhere and make things even more rude..

anyways, the little kid shock value posts are still more mature than grown men trying to "logically" explain why arabs and muslims are inherantly violent, gays are evil, blacks are dumber, and all the other retarded topics that always used to get debated here
 
I like loose rules that allow us to post a variety of things and subjects. I have a tough time coloring insides the lines. Probably why I'm banned pretty much everywhere else. :(
 
Hey Rick,
I think that it all depends on the situation. I have always enjoyed posting in chat, however it has dwindled a lot as of lately. I have gotten many laughs out of stupid posts and also had many serious discussions. I think that there has been an overwhelming supply of silly stupid threads created more so than in the past where as having decent conversations would be nice. I will be honest, cause I always am. I will let you know what I would like to see
I would like to see more serious discussions with less jokey shit threads. Maybe have a few shit threads through the day where people can go in and mess about to relieve boredom or to be funny. I myself like to debate and chat about serious subjects. And since I first joined elite these types of threads have been less and less in frequency. I know my post will probably piss people off or may get nasty replies however you asked me what I thought so I told you!

I think that trying to enforce a change would be stifling and oppressive, and would only be seen as an improvement by a few people who prefer order over freedom.

This also looks like a preview of things to come. I sense a new round of fun-killing on the way.

people can still discuss anything they want here....the people who are just here at the moment choose to post stupid shit as opposed to serious things.

there is still the occasional serious thread too.

mandating all C&C threads be a certain way, as opposed to allowing freedom, will just make it so NOTHING gets posted here...
 
We do have an ignore option still, right? If a poster is annoying you, put them on ignore. Problem solved.

Agree. Any lack of quality posters here today can be traced to previous draconian Admin crackdowns and policy changes.
 
What I find interesting is that waaaaaaaay back in the day the chat board was unbelievably entertaining, rapier wit and jocularity at its best and it was when the least amount of utter nonsense was tolerated.

I still remember all the ridiculous splinter boards that were offshoots where the banned sheep would flock to have "wreckless abandon - all out high school sophmoric garbage, NO RULES OR CENSORSHIP WHATSOEVER"... where are those boards today?
 
Deebs hit it on the nose, A good flame has an element of truth to it. If it didn't, it wouldn't bother the person being flamed. if your skin is too thin to play in a thread, stay out of the thread. doesn't everyone have the ability to ignore posts by people they loath?

if you are going to begin editing every post here because you think it hurts someone's feelings, get your ass off the clomid.
 
Post what you want if you pay your 11 bucks a month lol You dont like what you see dont read it... It is not that hard and their are pleanty of threads to choose from

Well I can understand your view and your point clearly however I am not saying eliminate all shit threads all together. However something has to be done to make c&c a tad bit more appealing. Imagine what a guest thinks when they pop into C&c and all the threads are stupid bullshit or parody threads.Do you really think they will want to register and go plat which in turn financially assists the site? No, they will probably spread word that elite fitness is full of nonsense.
I dont think that nothing will get posted here, however I do believe that the people who constantly make the shit threads will fail to post here any longer because they will have nothing intelligent to post on and honestly is that really going to damage this site?
 
I know there are a lot of different forums already, but maybe one more, sort of in the domain of chat, but called something like 'the swamp', or 'the dump' where fragile egos need not tread and anything goes...............

I do find it disconcerting to have threads about sick children next to something like I just had a big poo type of thread.

I agree ... It is a hard thing maybe their needs to be a bullshit dump thread forum.. When people pay every month and are not hurting anyone you can't tell them you cant say this word and that word.. I think make a dump bullshit type forum ...
 
I think people should stop bitching about bad posts and make good ones.

Something most of the whiners have failed to do. I post "Shit Threads". As of late I recognize the desire of the masses to up the quality of this forum. I am doing my part to post more serious responses. Let's see the whiners do the same.

LOL the internet is FULL of these elite wannabee sites. Why ON EARTH does elite need a forum like that?

I mean think about it, "You pay your money and you can act as assinine and immature as you want" forum? Doesn't make sense to me, but then again... whothefuckamI?

Have I told you recently that I think you are a great add on to the elite mods here?
That is a brilliant idea and I will second that one.
I agree, I hate seeing stories about child abuse and such next to a thread about how some one ate some food and now needs to relieve themselves. It seems a bit childish and immature and really needs its own home.
I vote for a spin off of chat where people can screw around and say what they want without offending anyone or without making c&c look like a grammer school recess.

Now THATS funny :lmao:

Everyone wants to be like "elite". I doubt that 99.9% of people in the United States and abroad who own computers and access the internet even know what elitefitness is.

Then lets just fucking censar this forum... Fuck it... People post offense shit all the time in here .. Not just gay shit so fuck lets elmiate everything and post i picked daisys today and they were pretty.. or lets post what the smart people think is right ...

I suppose if they are willing to spend money for that, then who am I to say... from this standpoint YOU ARE CORRECT.

However, every single one of the sites that I know of where such unfettered chaos exists is FREE... I can't begin to imagine someone paying to engage and stay in a place like that...

But as I said, just because it boggles MY mind, don't mean that it won't successfully generate income for elite. I mean hell, who remembers "pet rocks"?
 
I am offened everytime someone says something bad about christians cause i am one ... so ban everyone .. I pay my 11 bucks a month and dont ever want to be offened ,, i can't take it
 
LOL @ Segregation of threads. Once the "Stupid" stuff is removed. I'm pretty sure you'll be left with bare bones, boring bullshit. Because let's face it. Fact is, it's not the silly thread's fault serious/great/intellectually stimulating threads get bumped down to the bottom...They're simply not there for the most part.

The solution is posting more serious/thought provoking threads.

Actually, no it isn't funny. I am talking about the people who come here and sites like it. I can guarantee you that many people who post on elite also go to AT LEAST one or two other offshoots... Some eventually migrate away while others toggle back and forth. I myself used to post a bit here and there. But got tired of it all and liked elite best so here I have stayed.

I've watched it for years.

Sadly when there is a vocal minority that just doesn't know HOW to engage in an intelligent debate these threads often degrade into the types of threads that no one REALLY wants to read.

But to say that the internet is full of elite wannabe sites? How can you make a statement like that? The internet is a pretty big place.

Honestly, show me the numbers. You're talking about millions and millions of people here, not 20 or 30 spin off sites over the course of six or seven years.

Do you ever think some of the vocal minority just don't find these serious threads quality enough? I like how everyone is so quick to judge people for making silly posts. People equate silly posts with a lack of intelligence, or capacity for mature intellectual debate. Maybe these serious threads are just not that good to begin with?
 
If the powers that be wish to Hugo Chavez this forum, then so be it. Why not, it seems dissenting opinions have been erased from other forums on this board, as well.

besides stuff like racial slurs, I like the anything goes aspect. the members can police the undesirables, thats why we have ignore and bombs. Its so funny to see someone make a thread, and see someone get all bent out of shape when they dont agree, then spend a bunch of negative energy arguing. its like who cares about the "C" word. as Dalton from road house would say "are you one" thats one thing about our society now, everyone is so sensitive, we dont want to hurt someones feelings, and this board is just a small society.

i think you gotta look at it more democratically.
what do your paying customers want? you get to stern peeps get pissed and stop coming around.
the side effects of this can be seen at other boards, i think EF is going thru a phase of unpopularity
the most controversial site on the net, remember?

Right, we've heard that one before.

As usual, when one of these type of threads appears, it means admin have already made up their minds.
 
C&C isn't what it is because of the topics, it is what it is because of the people. Keep that in mind.

now people use big words like jocularity.

what does that mean Ahem
 
Okay Seroiusly...

This is C&C...

If there exists a faction of assholes that want censorship and don't want to have to read the word PUSSY, or be insulted ad nauseum - or read about me doing blow off of as many teenage girls as I can get to let me do it, etc...

Then let's make two Chat Boards.

One for stuck up bitches with sticks up their asses.

One for miscreants such as myself.

Then we'll see who wants to die sinners and who wants to live with the saints.

Guaranatee my sinner Chat forum will be the most popular.

So you ask popular opinion on the subject? I think you already know what the people want. If you are going to take a few posts from here to justify a crack down - airight... I guess you gotta what you gotta do.

Here are your numbers:

People who go to atleast 1-2 other sites. 3.6 billion



I got this straight off the Goverment web site.

I don't talk to my duaghter like that, and I don't appreciate you implying that I do. That is what is fucking rude, to bring her into this. RUDE sir, really fucking rude.

You have sex right? Do you do it front of your children?

You see... there are things I do, ways I behave. Some things are appropriate in front of my daughter - others are not. Simple. I make those decisions as to whats appropriate without hardly a thought. Do you know how to?


I made a post in this thread about how I think it should be handled, please refer to it, mr. rude ass.
 
Now that is humor. Very funny. Sadly the person featured here is NOT funny at all.
