This might not be a big enough problem on SEN or it might not be cared about that much. I've seen a lot of member vs member arguing in threads that aren't really related to whatever the people are arguging about. So I thought about other fourms and there system which is making a seperate fourm for member feuds or just flat out complaining about things. Obviously the whole "No Homosexual Slurs" "No Flamming" would apply to this fourm but it would keep all the negativity out of the threads that are just for fun. The punishment for disobeying the flamming and other rules in this fourm would only get the thread closed and not warned, unless of course of an extreme case. For instance "subtle" flames wouldn't count as a warning toward the member but if it gets out of hand then they could be warned.

I'm just suggesting things, if it does work out feel free to change whatever you want. A good example of this kind of fourm would be this one:
Here
I'm not sure if you need an account or not, but if you don't it's a good example. Well tell me what you think, feel free to send death threats and "Wtf ur a nub" comments to my PM box.

I've been a part of it, and I admit it, but I don't think it'll work, mainly because we aren't going to argue there, we're just going to argue in the discussion threads. I really, REALLY, wish Zombie will reach 100% warn, because for the last 4 days, every single argument I see, Zombie is acting like a complete idiot, flaming everybody. "keke you're offail owned" and stuff like that. It's getting out of hand.

And if it matters I'll try to stop arguing if it's annoying other SEN members.=\

Well the point is that if people start to argue eventualyl someone will say (Like a mod) Take it to the thunderdome (The fourm name) so they can argue there and not spam up the topic with petty arguements. ANd this wasn't directed towards anyone. People have been arguing in threads for a while. If they didn't stop arguing in the topic they could be warned for spam, or flamming if that's what thre post contained.

Alright, I guess that could work. Maybe people might think of that forum as a place where you can flame, I'd think of it more as an argument zone. But maybe we should just not allow arguing, or be more strict about it. That'd solve the problem.

Yeah but you can't be warned for arguing, unless you spam or flame. So if they argue in a public thread eventually more people will be brought into the arguement. Meaning more chance of flamming and or spamming, and the once virgin topic will be scarred with the hate of an arguement sad.gif.

I guess, I just don't like the idea of allowing arguments to grow like that, even if this is hypocritical coming from me, because I do argue on threads, at least recently I have. It's like allowing mold to grow in a certain area(CRAPPY ANALOGY!!). The best action we could take is to get rid of the mold, rather than quarantine it.

If you want to argue with another member, do it through PM's.

It's a pathetic idea, that will generate spam, and an open invitation to future spamming and full blown flame wars.

If you want to continue arguing so everyone can see it, go here.

That's funny, it appears that is what everyone has been saying since day one. And yet for some reason no one is doing it. Also if an arguement is between 3 people, or more, that would get annoying.

Pathetic? It won't "GENERATE" any flames or spam. It's diverting the already present flaming and spam to a different area so people who don't want to read about 3 guys yelling at each other won't have to. It's not encouraging people to scream at each other and start being a stupid doo doo head to everyone.

I really don't think it's that necassary is it? How can we bash other members without flaming or spaming? It wouldn't make it, and would cause too many warns. Are you just talking about a forum where you can debate over certain members? Why do you really need that? This isn't a kiddie forum, I don't understand the reason to argue. If you really have a problem with a member that's flaming you, report him or her.

Ok I don't think anyone understands the idea of the fourm.
THE FOURM IS NOT A PLACE TO SAY LOL THIS PERSON SUCKS
It's for people who are arguing in an already decent thread in the Null Fourm most likely, or map making production at times. I've seen threads that were cool or everyone liked them but some Member Member feud gets started up and the perfectly decent thread gets closed because two jerks decided to argue in a thread. Which isn't fair to the people who made the thread. So if this fourm was made then they would take there arguement there and argue about whatever they were arguing about over there.

You're all getting the idea that the fourm is going to be called "be a f*ck j*ackass fourm" with the description of "single out perfectly good memebrs and call them a flamming faggot". That's not the idea of the fourm, it's to make the already good and cheery fourms keep there purity by diverting all the flamming and badness that happens in the fourms and puts it in this fourm so no one has to deal with other people's crap.

And for the record everyone has been complaing about how there are too many flammers in Null fourm and such anyway. So this could help the problem everyone is complaining about.

Nobody's just going to flame each other once and stop with no interference. There's also no way its going to be contained in one forum. I would rather just have moderation delete posts and warn flamers instead of closing topics.

I think it would be a post spam forum. Topics such as:

POST GOING UP!

Message: POST!

Uh.. if this was ever created, which it's not, it definately wouldn't have minerals / commulative post commulating.

That would be spam, and they would be warned. Like I said.

Well then you might want to start telling mods that, and if you already have. It's not working.

I agree. I see a lot of arguing now, and it seems mods don't.
