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

[Mr. dB]

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...

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.

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!

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.

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.

Agree. Any lack of quality posters here today can be traced to previous draconian Admin crackdowns and policy changes.

I'd like to see less single letters in place of words and more complete sentences.

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.
