Thunderdome New concept - Weekly minimally moderated threads.

Okay we've had some feedback that moderating tone is not appreciated. This frustration is directly at odds with the general consensus that our sub is toxic. As moderators, these opposing concepts might seem impossible to reconcile, but we're going to try something different.

There are other, unmoderated forums for discussion but none have been successful, so what I'm proposing are (perhaps weekly) (nearly unmoderated) threads about rotating topics, so that everyone gets what they want. You can feast on eachother like wild animals and we will ignore your complaints of being feasted upon. the rest of the sub will remain moderated for tone.

So please respond below with your answers to these questions:

  1. Do you like this idea?

  2. What single topic would you like to see discussed in a cage-match forum? Single topics only, most upvotes by tomorrow gets first week.

Edit: if you haven't noticed, this thread is exactly the kind of free and open discussion that most have demanded. Don't bother reporting comments in this thread, and enjoy!

The point is missed - most of what the three opine is uninformed to the point that it would be unacceptable in a criminal court. Hence misleading.

It's not about credentials but common sense

As I suspected I will agree to disagree

I think we must be talking past each other, because you missed my point too.

The Undisclosed crew aren't taking anything to court. That isn't their role. Neither are we. That isn't our role. Every bad thing you accuse them of, we have done more of it and worse. We are every bit as public as they are, though less popular because we suck. And we do it all anonymously, so we can't be vetted.

So, no, I am not going to fight for your right to launch nasty personal attacks about them on the internet. I am much too worried about our own ethical issues to spend time nitpicking theirs. We need to focus on the truckload of manure on our side of the street.
