Rants Forum?

Rants Forum

What about a "Rants" forum in "Subcultures" for Proud Muslim and those who persistantly emulate him?

You mean like Whirlwind? Nah, that would just draw more of their kind here.

Mods can move ranting threads to rant forum and whenever Porfiry needs space he can purge all threads in the rant forum.

How about this: We call it the recycle bin and move all closed/useless threads to it. That way it won't clutter up the board. Then we should make it to where posting there doesn't increase your post count... Wait, we've got free thoughts.

 

How about this: why don't we start a subforum where people can constantly bitch about those whom they disagree with. Oh never mind, it I am already within it. Shut the fuck up already.

 

you were joking... but that is a good idea I think. Even if Porf didn't feel like coding the "doesn't increase your post count" it would still be useful... and stop people from complaining about locked threads.

 

Honestly, this seems like a reasonable idea. Threads that go abusive in the main forums could be moved to the "Trash" instead of being closed. Members would get the chance to vent their frustrations in a place that low profile - hopefully raising overall quality of the content within the primary forums. It would be made clear that insults and personal vendettas be placed only in the "Trash" and no where else on the forum.

 

Isn't that called Kiddie Korner on other forums?

 

I like the idea because it would be easier to avoid a subforum than it is bad posts in good threads.

 

What's to stop this from turning into a Flame forum? I voted yes, though. I'm okay with the idea.

 

Then I would consider, and I really mean this, that it should be watched 24/7. The last thing we need is for someone to start posting porn or something there. I just recommend keeping it safe for work.

 

A strict moderator to only allow over zealous threads and rant threads?....Good idea. All the spam and advertising deleted upon sight.

 

I'd love that job.

 

I like the idea as long as its called "recycling bin" or "Garbage" "Junk yard" "Trash Bin", ect some name that describes the value of the threads inside of it. It should also be moved just below "site feedback" so it can be placed at the bottom of the forum home page so that few can see it and burn their eyes.

 

I agree, WCF. A recycle bin on other forums has been used the same way.

 

Check it out, the first victum is ready:

The "recycling bin" or what ever name will be given to it should have these properties
1. All threads closed because of faming, trolling, stupidity, ect should be moved here, basically all threads closed that have no value in future reference should be moved here.
2. Some threads such as flaming threads could be left open so that members can vent the childish anger far way from the more respectable placed of this forum
3. this sub-forum should have all of its post periodically deleted ever couple of weeks. By doing this server space can be saved because all the crap from the other sub-forums can be moved and deleted from existence and the space they took can be reused for better threads. Also it makes the forum look better because all the threads that are a shame to this forum can be wiped from existence.

 

This idea has appeal; will it be implemented, and, if so, can I be the moderator of the subforum?

I will change my title to Trash Collector or Dump Truck or Garbage Man or Smasher Robot... please?


EDIT:

See! I'm ready!

 

there won't be much there to moderate just a lot of closed threads and flaming wars.

 

That's cool.
I'd even clean house every few weeks or whenever.

 

I'd vote for you, we need another mod as unpopular as I am.
