[Forum] Opening a "General Fallout Discussion" and a "Roleplaying" Subforum

<< < (2/7) > >>

Haraldx:
YES, YES, YES, YES! Want it! Give it to me!!!

While we are suggesting additional sub forums:

A flaming board (unmoderated) could REALLY benefit the game and the forum. For an example, just look at the awesome Forum Fight Club Board the english Site "AzureL2" has. Thousands of quality posts provided by a rather small community. Also, things started with flaming could be played again in FOnline if the flame is real heated and the forum PvPer is really hardcore.



Ok, jokes aside, now the serious part of why I am suggesting this, and I really do believe it will benefit the community (at least those involved in PvP and who don't take the internet seriously):

Currently, Gang Issues, is being used for anything but what it was intended for (Just take a look for yourself at a couple of threads). I primarily believe this has to due with the strictness of moderation in the sub-forum. I am also puzzled as to why allow people to get mad if threads with minimal flaming get locked. Instead of Gang Issues, I suggest it gets replaced with an unmoderated sub-forum like Flame Section, or maybe "The Hole" if you really want to get creative; with post count being disabled, viewable by only registered users and of course nothing illegal can be posted.
Potentially, this would benefit the community in two ways: First, it allows a healthy venue for the community to act "silly" and joke around without repercussions; allowing the community to become more animated.
Second, less nonsense and flaming in other sections, such as recruitment or general (We all remember threads like "OMG! this guy kill me"), which would relieve stress on the moderators and focus the corresponding sections on what they are suppose to achieve.

This is a really bad suggestion.
People arent supposed to flame there like little 4year old kids. One doesnt need bad words and insults to settle down things

Ned Logan:
Yeah I agree some kind of flame allowed subforum would be beneficial. After all these kind of threads are quite entertaining.
Maybe just don't lock the threads in junk section...

This is true, in fact, you just need time to settle down, however I fail to see why this would make my suggestion bad. Primarily, I suggested this out of entertainment and for people to have a jolly time. The people who would act as 4 year olds, as you say, will only make themselves the laughing stock of the community (Remember Xoen?). Flame forums aren't only about insults and bad words (flaming), it is also about expression of the wit. If someone feels like their blood pressure will go up, just shouldn't visit this part of the forum. The words Flame Section, would probably be a misnomer (as I just explained), therefore calling it The Hole, would be more suitable.
