lol, that just kinda avoids the problem though, doesn't it? I mean, people should be able to have a civil debate. There's nothing wrong with a heated debate, but name calling as a response is just childish.There's another site that just has the politics and other heated areas under a sub section which requires opting in. It's a free for all with no rules, but unless you specifically choose to partake you never see it at all in any searches or anything. The only rules enforced in that section is no buying/selling/spam.
I'd love that... We could all go there and take the gloves off and rake eachother over the coals all day long without bothering the sensitive people.
If venting means personally attacking people, they should take it somewhere else anyway. RIU is a community, people can vent, you just can't use your fellow members as punching bags.Ah but it can be so rewarding to just vent sometimes and that seems to be what a lot of people want, a place to just vent. This is not a high brow debate site, if someone wanted to debate politics properly they should take it somewhere else anyway.
Hey if everyone here enjoys heavy handed monitoring and being coddled like children fine, me personally I like freedom even if that means someone can call me an idiot or worse.people are so desensitized by the internet, its not hard to imagine the people who make personal attacks their brand of fun.
Agreed but I'd just go so far as to say that anyone that is a detriment to the site should be permanently banned for that reason alone, not even needing to be caught breaking a certain rule but just because it's the right thing to do for the community as a whole. Maybe a couple warnings and then see ya, don't come back. Then if you see them back, kick again. It would be nice if there was a way to permanently ban people not just accounts. IP ban isn't going to cut it nearly often enough but would be a start.oh i feel you man, i was getting more at the kind of person who makes it so we need to be "heavy handed monitoring and being coddled like children". i mean its the insensitive people who get baked and post their minds, or just vent their frustrations on some poor noob, that threads get closed, infractions dealt and fdd and other mods work so hard. the faster we weed them out, the better RIU would be
please tell me what i stole first.The moderators on this site are inept. *looks in that thief fdd's direction*
You can ban me now because you know that I'm right. All right.
This site is one big bad fucking joke.
You keep up like this there wont be anyone for you to play with (or f with) theyll all be banned and youll bust your banning button! Give it rest! Poor ffd hes getting it from all sides! What you do piss off GOD? This Place is comming like a GOST TOWN?!
did you get one for me?i'll be over in the corner with my hamburger.
