It sounds as if the Mods are looking for a new user base. I’m quite positive the bulk of the users here seek the very “inflammatory” discussion the mods seem to detest.
NOBODY spends time here with the intent to change minds and almost NO political discussion ANYWHERE stays civil and polite. Further, almost no thread without “BAIT” is very active, it’s the bait that encourages users to engage.
So -- you're telling me that straight informative titles ruin your fun? Depends on what you're here for doesn't it?
Here's the solution.. You got your own MMA type "engagement" forums in Badlands, Rubber Room.. We'll even give you a new taunting forum for Political warfare with no survivors... You can name it.. Maybe the "BrokeLoser -- Nobody WINS" forum...
Most folks aint got the time to waste on Troll on Troll violence and snark... It's a fact. And especially, we CAN NOT COMPETE with Twitter in that category and don't even want to be in the species with Twitter...
Look, I believe this new model is perfectly applicable for a forum comprised of widowed housewives exchanging dialogue about sewing and the like.
I'm quite certain the vast majority of your users see extreme value in individualism, individual thought and individual expression, I'm not sure your current user base can or will embrace the notion of someone steering their thought, speech and expression.
Was this decision driven by the desire for ad dollars...ad dollars from Leftist organizations...you know, the ones whom hate the 1st?
