Playing xBox or computer or reading or playing PS3 or masturbating to porn is all a waste of time. Going outside, having fun with your friends in the real world or interacting with real people is what you should do. Reading is meant really for gaining information like in News Papers, the internet news, or whatever. Pleasure reading is usually done when some1 can't get to sleep one night and then they find its 4:00 a.m and have finished what they read in 5 hours. Playing xbox just gets you fat as shit if that's all you do. Thank you and please come again.

Discussion.


I'm reading through 11-page long threads and finding only 4 or 5 people actually contributing or promoting debate in an intelligent (enough) manner. The other 25-odd people there are either sitting in the corner scratching their heads and replying "Well I don't know what you're saying, but I remember this video of a hamster and it was funny" or are part of the grammatically challenged group above. I haven't really looked closely at these forums for months. It took under 5 minutes to find all those quotes. That's sad.

Children today are learning how to use a computer before they learn how to write. Or use logical deduction in their thought. Or realize the differences between physical fact and subjective opinion. And it shows. It shows in ever increasingly glaring amounts. Here's another fun fact: none of the quotes above were infracted. Is stuff like this tolerable now?

I'm dumbfounded as to what else to say. Evidence is abound - Discussion's mods aren't doing their job, the average IQ is converging closer to Legendre's constant,* and it's hard to read most of the threads without stabbing oneself in the eye with a lead pencil to ease the pain. Who else is in favor of renaming the board "How Many Illiterates Does It Take To Screw In A Lightbulb?"

It is somewhat puzzling that a relatively complicated game with a steep learning curve seems to attract idiocy in such large quantities, and why a supposedly mature and adult board suffers from such a saturation of these members.

The best strategy to tackle this would presumably be to enforce the discussion rules with a far more stringent approach, although I fear that this would drive out many contributors who do not wish to 'waste their time' composing detailed and contributory posts, and leave the board to only a few dedicated members. Also, the logistics of enforcing the regulations would probably push the current moderating team to it's limits, as defining the boundary line between acceptable and punishable posts is not something which will be easy.

Even if the board is (once again) reformed, there is little doubt that it would once again sink to it's current level, as the constant influx of members with no contribution to make, but an urge for a higher postcount, will probably override the work of moderators.

In short, I doubt that any action will be taken.

Quit, probably.
I miss ruling discussion with an iron fist, striking fear in the hearts of idiots and spammers and all. The board is overridden by people who want to get their post counts up(they obviously don't give a fuck about the topic), and unless something is done about them(maybe a post count requirement, although thats just off the top of my head and would in itself cause issues).

Discussion has usually been discourse between 2-10 people, and I doubt it can be anything more due to the lack of non-apathetic people who can contribute and the idiots who shouldn't even try to contribute.
Hoss.

This is exactly what Debate was like before it was shuttered.

It wasn't the epitome of forum greatness by any standard, but it was leaps and bounds ahead of the current state of Discussion. Posts that skirted the boundary between "contributive" and "distractive" were simply given a warning and left be. It required some moderator grunt, sure. But the "current moderating team's" limit seems to be pretty low to begin with.

"lol fuk da poleese" is an unacceptable by Rapid Threads standards, let alone the standards of a board designed to promote discussion.
The same could be said about this entire forum

This is why I don't really participate in this community anymore

Send them over to off-topic. I'll sort them out. But yea, I believe that it's still an effect of the loss of wibbles. Trolls have no-where to go but they don't want to leave their comfy forum. So off they go to the most serious board to cause shit for everyone.
