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

[Big Rick Rock]

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

Where was this post months ago when everyone complained and before many left?!

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

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.
