People these days are more passionate about it than ever, especially if it's controversial and goes against their ideals. Link to post Share on other sites

That’s the entire reason for its existence. As rare as it is to agree with Ghostz, that's actually why this forum exist. It was made because of Gamespot's absurd policing of SW proper.

54212 432 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I don't care if the board lives or dies, but if you want to bring it back, maybe try this: Put a hold on race issues and give everyone a daily post limit of 10 or 15 for the politics board? That would take care of the spam wars along with the one topic that always sends things into an ugly death spiral. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm confused about the worry over "spam" or calling out Jerry for his "enthusiastic" posting. Isn't the point to have an active forum? It's not like people were just posting troll gifs and porno or anything. It's also ironic you of all people talk about putting a pause on race discussion. Link to post Share on other sites

Some people couldn’t help but bring race or religion into it once they started losing the argument. It never stayed political. It became personal for a lot of people.

Before this board got political and you and Jerry wound up on the same political team, you thought Jerry's spamming was as retarded and annoying as everyone else. I mean you can pretend to play dumb but it's kind of silly. Link to post Share on other sites

Who’s more retarded, Jerry or the people who respond to him for 100s of times while complaing about it? ”I keep pushing him and he keeps punching me in the face!

I think creating a subforum was good idea in order to keep the main board on topic of gaming and tech stuff. My one critique would be people creating topics in the main board that should have been in the other one. Inproper thread making shouldn't even be given the energy of moving and should be automatically locked. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
