Formal Request

[Captain Obvious]

... to expand the hole, "gaper" if you will, lol.

Or a section/subforum with a couple of areas but with minimal rules - the "no porn, no death threats - everything else is fair game".

That "enter at your own risk" section. I think it would be more popular than you might think.

[Codename Section]

It would be if mods got to be the same without taking shit for it. :)

I agree. You need a place where you can be yourself apart from the rest of the forum.

:but:
You get that HUGE paycheck for being a Moderator! :f_run:

[The Xl]

Sounds good to me.

[Peter1469]

1. It sounds like the Hole. So we have it already.

2. We used to have something similar, with the lighter side with very little moderation and the serious side that the petty bull shit was supposed to not appear. It didn't work because members either didn't realize which side of the forum they were on, or didn't give a fuck.

I heard the sugar levels were getting better. Glad to hear it. No Hurricanes for you, tho. :)

Can we do something with the Hole so it shows up in What's New but not in what strangers can read?

Isn't that the Hole?

Yeah, it IS better...I ended up on a daily long-acting insulin shot, in addition to the meds I was already taking. I detest all the needles....but it's obviously what was required. Nope....the closest I can get to a Hurricane is fruit punch flavor Crystal Light....I'm such a weenie!

I am not the technical half of the mod rep team.

I believe it does if you are subscribed to the thread - that or it shows up in your settings. Doesn't show a new thread that you haven't seen yet.

[Captain Obvious]

Isn't that the Hole?

Yeah, but this place needs to have some width. Maybe a sub forum for politics, entertainment and misc.

Plus it needs to be identified as such - a "free for all" Section with the two or three rules clearly defined.

So you want to go into the Hole and make subforums?

[undine]

I like the idea. Just make everyone bring their big-girl panties.

[Captain Obvious]

Yeah, should be a rule about reporting posts there.

Should also be a rule about call-out shit down there too.

Yeah, I guess.

[Green Arrow]

I agree with Codename Section. Can mods have the same privileges down there without taking shit for it? :tongue:

The hole was removed from What's New to avoid mixing things up.

[Chris]

Why not ask admin to create a "sister" site and you can run it how you like.

[Peter1469]

I agree with @Codename Section (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=866). Can mods have the same privileges down there without taking shit for it? :tongue:

That is a valid purpose of the Hole. No need for another room or forum.

Actually the hole was created by VIPs as a place for those on infraction to go, a sort of 30 days in the hole place. It's taken on different uses since. And why not, if that's what members want, let members decide.

No. Let the VIPs decide, that is what you always said.

Why not try to clean out that sand in your vagina?

[Chris]

Why not try to clean out that sand in your vagina?

Wouldn't accomplish what you want.

That sounds highly uncomfortable. Also, Chris is a man, soooo...kinda impossible.

In my defense, I've been awake since 2 PM yesterday, and it is currently 9:47 AM. So cut me some slack :tongue:

I like unmoderated forums but all you get is another AWE in reality unless it is confined to one forum where anything goes "barring violence that could get the forum shut down".

One forum where racial issues along with political issues are discussed along with a very lightly moderation could be fun if confined to that forum and that forum only.

I doubt many here have the balls to debate in troll fashion without running to admin about it however.

Trolls don't debate, they just throw Molotov cocktails at each other. It's nothing more than a written screaming match. Whatever rocks your boat.

[MrJimmyDale]

That "enter at your own risk" section.
Only If I get credit for the title!!!!!



By the way..............FUCK YOU!!!

It's an honest answer, most people who post on forums have a troll aspect. Why do you have a hole and let people post there? Is it not a troll hole? If not exactly what is it and why does it exist?


If you want to play smart ass..........Troll......Then I'll play. You're something here since your name is green, I'd suggest you as a forum leader would be slightly more understanding. Was it the part about running to admin that got you in an uproar?

Trolls are everywhere,,,,,you are one yourself as some sort of moderator,,,,,or whatever you do here besides get pissed in public when somebody disagrees with your opinion.

A good mod sits back and watches how members post,,,,,,they do not act an ass because a member disagrees with the god almighty forum moderator like you seem to think you are.

I don't disagree.

Yeah, AWE was a fucking cesspool. Total maggot infested, disease ridden, puss oozing, bloody canker sore ridden piece of steaming spooge encrusted shitpile.

And it's a fair concern, an environment like this can be hijacked by these types. Hell, we have a white supremacy clique developing now.
