I haven't been in the forums much, every now and then I looked around and now I actually started posting. So I may seem just like some lame n00b to everybody. 
I like this community, I've been coming to detonate.net for a year or so now. I'm no vet, but I am a fan. (not the kind that spins round and round and round and round) And I do not wish to see it die. I was very unhappy when it wasn't really up and running. But now that it's actually starting up again I'm glad to be here for the re-birth of the site.
A viable option to all the flaming and name calling and post deleting and all...Well you have area's for people to Rant, talk politics, submit links...why not a place for people to put there full flame on and just insult each other. It could be full of flame wars and bad jokes about peoples mothers. That way you wouldn't have them popping up in the middle of a political debate, or just when editor is asking for help with the site.
Good Idea? Bad Idea? I don't know, it's just an idea. Use it if you want, ignore me if you must. I just don't want to see this place die. Peace  , Love  , and Cheese Soup  !!

That area is kind of covered under 'Rants' since they include rants against each other.

True. I didn't really relize that, don't blame me, I'm new. 
Of course, rants also have just general rants where you can get support from other people on how you feel about something... Right? (if I'm wrong I'm sorry) I was thinking a place where that's the sole purpose is to allow you to tell someone they are a donkey raping shit eater. Or maybe just a place for the editor to cuss out the community for their behavior to relieve his stress and not go delete happy and accidently delete the site?

Welcome to 'Rants'. 
Seriously, I have always believed that's what the 'Rants' forum was for. Classroom had a bit more decorum, Politics is the most structured, Senior Lounge is for the Vets to go talk amongst themselves, Sex is obvious...

OK, seriously, I missed the detonation of Fat Man on the boards here, so I may not be qualified to say anything, but it seems to me that in the past, members have worked out their own problems (I remember spats I had with l33t_h4x0r_d00d) in their own time, without moderator approval. Editor, Kuru hit it on the head when she said that constant monitoring is bad. Take a vacation--check up on us, say, every one or two days, and I'll bet dollars to donuts that we, as a community, will be able to solve our own problems, and most of the time, we won't have any hard feelings that stay around for, say, a week.
Now that I have failed to contribute much, I'm gonna go find some more trouble to get into.....

you saying that ed shouldn't check his board whenever he wants?

If someone's ungrateful and you tell him he's ungrateful, okay, you've called him a name.
You haven't solved anything.

Of course he should read it if he wants..
But trying to 'parent' all the disagreements isn't going to make anyone happy. Not us, and not editor.

Nope, I'm just agreeing with whoever said that compulsive babysitting is not always healthy.
Of course Editor can check it whenever he wants - but just 'cause he can doesn't mean he should.

I've been here a while and I've not babysat.
That would be too much damn work.
The last day has been very entertaining!
I have to get back to pinkworld.

I have realized it's easier to delete.
Debate all you want.
Insults, no.
No more warnings, just deletions. |
This would not be tolerated where I am from...I think you all know where I mean.
It has happened a handful of time within the length of my tenure there...but nothing compared to the gestopo state in which Break is purposing.
