General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
Make a Controversial Topics subforum so Triert can make all the political and unpopular opinion topics he wants in there, and people can argue with each other, and no one has to look in there if they don't want to.

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
If the forums were more active, I'd say a political discussion section would be a good idea. As it is though, General Discussion gets very little activity between political and non-political topics, so it really wouldn't do much other than add to the sense of emptiness.

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
To be quite honest, i think those threads turn a lot of people away from general discussion, so I think that this suggestion is actually very, very good.Twiddle. wrote:Make a Controversial Topics subforum so Triert can make all the political and unpopular opinion topics he wants in there, and people can argue with each other, and no one has to look in there if they don't want to.
I would like to see what other members think of this. There's a fine line between making a forum for debate vs a "mature" forum which a lot of users wanted. It gets a bit tiresome always seeing "controversial" topics in GD all the time.

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
I don't think when Mooncow made this website he ever expected it to last this long or have the userbase grow up with the website and him.
I'm honestly not sure if we just want an even more focused "General" General Discussions with either an "After Dark" or "Politics" subforum or if we don't want to see so many active controversial topics.
I personally vote for After Dark, as for what limits it needs, well I'm honestly not sure what we can do to keep kids out of it that other websites don't already try to do. Kids will lie their way into things they don't belong in, or somehow show up in them if you consider Xbox Live. Why do we have to worry about protecting their sensibilities unless it's a matter of legality and not getting shut down by the UK?

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
We could always have a "Serious Discussion" subforum. If anyone doesn't take it seriously their privileges to post there could be taken away and they could only be able to read the forum. I don't think it should be age restricted, just maybe a warning in the description that some topics up for discussion may not be suitable for younger audiences. Or just that Serious Discourse (TM) takes place there.
Stuff like politics, gender theory + maybe ethical stuff could be discussed there, and if people don't like that kind of discussion then it's out of the way in its own subforum so it's not like they're forced to view it. But rules of the subforum should include no derailing and having a good level of respect for the people you're discussing the topics with.

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
Do all of you like beating a dead horse? The topic was locked and we don't need to have this sort of discussion. If people are going to act like complete children and report anything the mods will interpret as offensive whether it be memes or other misc things and if the most important mod decided on something very clearly, we don't need to keep any of this going on at all.
You can all just drop this crap already and it will go away.

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
Sounds like you're the one who's offended, Triert
What topic are you talking about? This is just in general.

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
I'm not really sure how this relates to introducing a new subforum Triert. This isn't about censorship of topics, it's about putting more serious topics/debates into a separate subforum so that people aren't drawn away from General Discussion, which is such a melting pot of serious and fun topics.

Why have serious topics if people can be offended by them

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
Your meme topic wasn't a serious topic, sorry Triert.
Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
So serious topics don't fall under the potential to get reported for the content they debate over?

Re: General Discussion: Politics & Controversy Subforum
Personally, I think if everyone treats each other with mutual respect and discusses things maturely, looking at both sides of the argument, nothing would need to be reported or removed.

People are actively trying to give Goat a space where he can do his thing and he's fighting it? This is people giving you their open arms, dude. Accept your fate in the Petting Zoo.
