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

[stilleto]

i haven't read this whole thread, but i can think of one chat forum on a lifting site that's a free for all, and it's boring and static and repetitive and gets very few members. same shit, all the time.

and I know of other forums that delete anything offensive and that bores me too.

I think this chat forum is an awesome mix of both- there are long threads where someone reveals a tragedy or serious issue and the discussion and support takes off, and other long threads where people resort to name calling and mud slinging and IMO, both are great to see. i mean, in different ways.

i like censorship; when i put my plan for world domination into effect it will be at the center of my policy--oooops, i forgot to not type my internal monologue

Its not about censorship. Please can talk about almost anything here and have unique points of view. Civil discourse of all topics is welcomed...


Just the worthless ass shit posts I would like to see kept to a minimum (not even totally eliminated). Too much of that stuff here now and we should keep it to a manageable level.

Make them to bring back the ways of the old karma system and I'll never complain about anything again.

It is kind of funny that they ask only to say that they are going to make whatever changes. Like it isn't obvious something ominous isn't on the horizon with certain staffing choices that have been made.

The transparency is rather amusing, isn't it. Like we all have terribly short memories and haven't seen this pattern before.

Problem is, every time admin have perceived a problem and taken steps to correct it, the cure has been worse than the disease. And more good people dissappear.

I think what you are refering to is the:

"I'm Gay"

"You're Gay"

"I want you in my mouth"

"OH yeah baby, I am so gay for you"

Type stuff?

That stuff gets repeated all day everyday by quite a few members. I say it someitmes too, although rarely - mostly just to egg them on. I might say other meaningless drivell that others don't like - I am not sure.

What diff does it make? I just ignore the posts threads that don't interest me. I made some posts in here that you didn't like - I was making a point.

Just ignore it if you don't like it. I mean if someone is instigating a race riot or they are running off your targeted advertising demographic - then yeah, you gotta do something about - but short of that - who cares.

Seems to me you will just run off more members by decided what they shold and should not talk about. Just let the posters of the forum decide for themselves what they want to talk about - no matter how juvinile.
