"Flame Board"?

> I personally slap warns on people who are being biggots/bullies/irrational insulters… I don't agree with muting/banning people for having a tiff, though. Arguing is human nature. Keep it under control, not under your heel.

awkward that I got a warn from you xD

It's quite sad that we've now reached the point where this is even a topic of discussion.

Anyway, I'm against the idea. The last we need is to be encouraging members to be horrible.

By all means, try it, experiment with it, but really. Quite disappointing.

My thoughts and sentiments exactly. We don't need to encourage that sort of behavior.

I'm not sure this thread is as much about a flame board as it is overbearing moderation. We have two different topics going on in this thread.

agreed

I agree with Agora and Bud, this is a generally bad idea.

If this was definitely going to go ahead, I would at least like to see a fairly high post-count restriction.. Say, 250? That way the newbs wouldn't wander in accidentally.

I still think it's a bad idea though.

Oh hell no, that would turn into a disaster.

And there's the end of this idea. LOL

I think it's a terrible idea as well.

However, moderation on these forums is a complete joke. People get banned for saying things that others say. People get banned for saying things like "shut up" - I mean, seriously, a 24 hour ban for saying shut up? It's ridiculous.

Wrong topic.. That was more about the consistency of moderation.

Decision reached. General consensus taken too, I should say.

Also, sorry about the post movement. Haven't used it before, made a bit of a mess.

We had the topic in the other thread, I was directed here. If this is the wrong topic, where do I post?

My bad.

Should I open up a new thread, on-topic of moderation?

That's your call - you da boss. I'm just confused as to where all these posts should go, haha.

If you guys think that the Moderation is enough of an issue to need to be raised as a public thread, go ahead and make one on it. Locking this thread as it was generally a bad idea.

This isn't an intelligent conversation.
