FFXIAH Linkshell Ni
Rooks said: » Bahamut.Milamber said: » Maybe it is due to the hiatus and recent lack of involvement, but it seems to be particularly pointless and poisonous of late. No, that's my impression as well, and I'm mired in it. It's gotten worse, and I'm looking for ways to fix it that aren't "keep banning people until morale improves". Asura.Dameshi said: » Turns out, spooning is not when you beat someone over the head with a wooden spoon. Who knew?

Ramyrez said: » Caitsith.Zahrah said: » Jassik said: » There's just a lot of people on all sides that don't actually want to discuss politics so much as they want to get a reaction out of people. And that's why P&R is only good for jokes at this point. It's become that repulsive in nature, or I'm less patient now. Maybe both? Saw the word "feels" one too many times. It's just not worthwhile. There's no "discussion." Just braying back and forth and a lot of vitriol. Yeah, there's good-natured tail-yanking, then there's overkill. I don't know if it's the sheer lunacy of this election cycle, but the momentary, cross-table, collective chuckles are at an all time low. EDIT: Admittedly, it's become so bad that I've thought of hitting the report button a few times (even on the behalf of people I'm necessarily partial to) and talked myself out of it.

Report things. There's a number of people who don't report things because they don't want to feel thin-skinned/bother staff with it, which ends up with people skating far longer than they should. Not nipping stuff early is what leads to bigger problems.

That's pretty much when I bailed too, actually. You know my feelings on reporting folks. The constant barely-veiled juvenile insults every time someone disagrees with you are just too much. Once it got to the point where I'm like, "yeah...should I report that?" I just stopped going. If you have to ask, it's not worth your time, regardless of the answer. I haven't been around here so much either, but that's more an issue of being busy at work the past couple of weeks. Lots of crazy new ***they're making us do.

I don't want that face anywhere near my ***, I don't care if it is your kink!

Siren.Mosin said: » ffX is way more cutscene heavy than I had recalled, but the story is nice, & that's been fun.

I feel like I used to get more out of our lovely PandR section, but I could be entirely mistaken. everything is better in hindsight.

Shall we begin voting to nuke?
I can open up the ol' warhead closet~ Siren.Mosin said: » everything is better in hindsight. Every time I've ever said, "Jaegermeister sounds like fun" disagrees emphatically.

Shiva.Spathaian said: » Shall we begin voting to nuke? I can open up the ol' warhead closet~ I am seeking solutions that are not: - me walking around with a bazooka until the culture changes - the complete destruction of the section I don't want to do either of those things, but I am rapidly running out of ideas. I am actively embarrassed by the behavior that goes on in there at times, and don't really want my name associated with it. The P+R section can serve as a nice "current events" section, and when things are going well, it can actually be an enlightening place to be. The problem is that it usually isn't going well.

Anna Ruthven said: » Section Ban. You're welcome. That's basically the bazooka option, except that anyone who's acting up enough to get section banned is likely to just go ***up other threads, which is the whole point of the P+R section in the first place, containment. Might as well just nuke them and be done with it, if that's the answer.

Rooks said: » Help me fix it! seems to me that one guy sure leads the charge in overt stupidity, but I'm not sure what I would do about it either. I don't envy your position. I like anarchy.

Help me fix it! Real answer: a more defined set of rules for PR As you said debate is good and more than encouraged but if things are really devolving that often/quickly then things need to be set down. Yes, it may lead to an increased load for a short time but in the long run it will likely be far better for both the community and the mods to have something more concrete to work with when specifically dealing with the PR section since it's such a different beast compared to the rest of the forums.

And for less sticky situations, sticky bombs~

A jaegerbomb or Irish car bomb sounds like Hell on Earth now. So, does anything with tequila, but...Something about tequila roulette. Same consequences. :/ By the way, glad you're popping in.
