Astor Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 But again if the debates are counter productive to forum growth, harmony, and some if not the majority of the differing opinion want to leave then that forum in my opinion has not served the whole forum in helping to promote and grow in member number of people. Also to have debates you have to have those who differ on opinion. You can't have much of a debate if there is few to none to disagree with. There's plenty of things to disagree on. We all disagree with each other - but we learn from those disagreements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 If everything was fine then we wouldn't be having this poll topic. We have not worked though the disagreements. That's why it's to the point to where some want to leave. And those some are the majority of the conservatives who messaged me here. And there are some issues behind the scenes I cannot talk about that are being looked into. So there is a problem. And unless corrections can be done in these behind the scenes stuff or this forum goes away because it's counter productive in growth and having diversity of vew when the differing opinion wnats to leave. This is the majority opinoin I've gotten from pms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Some want to leave because various people have recently come into Kavar's without intending to engage in honorable debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 That applies to people who've been here awhile as well. It's not merely new people that are trying to "crater" the landscape with "bad" intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'm not going to argue. I want to say some things about why we have and why others have not. I want to say we disagree with some decisions that many agree with me on that, but are looking into. If I be more than vague that can get us in trouble and me in trouble. Those that recently joined. Those were us conservatives. Again it's not a debate forum really if there is no one with a differing opinion to debate with. And closing it temporarily won't fix the problems or the fact of the forum's existance. If things tay the same. Other conservatives in the future will come along again and we'll either end up with this same poll type topic or more of the same problems. There are problems. Threads closed, infractions, complaints about those, cursing, flaming, irrelivant links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Conservatives and liberals are not the issue, by far. My boyfriend is a conservative and I'm a liberal and not only do I actually like him (and his PS3 >.>) but I can have a calm, collected, and interesting discussion with him about his differing political opinions. Don't try to suggest that liberals and conservatives can't debate without resorting to slander tactics, because it isn't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Again it's not a debate forum really if there is no one with a differing opinion to debate with.[/Quote] As i've said, everyone here has differing opinions - and there's plenty to debate about - I may agree with Inyri for instance in one respect, and then completely disagree with her on something else ('bug rights', for instance ). Threads closed, infractions, complaints about those, cursing, flaming, irrelivant links. Threads do get closed yes, if they've outlived their usefulness, or become too heated. And cursing, which is rarely seen thanks to the filters, and our super-hot-quick team of moderators. Same goes for flaming. I'm not sure what you mean by irrelevant links, though.

tk102 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 What about we just ban everyone instead of closing the forum? Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The only thing getting me through this crisis is the unfounded belief that name deleted, name deleted, name deleted, and name deleted were banned first.

Arcesious Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I've been browsing the fourm and I noticed something odd... Why am I 'banned'? What happened to my custom user title and description?

Totenkopf Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 But if we're all special.....is anyone really special? This banning would have worked even better if none of us could have logged in any responses (I'm guessing that we wouldn't be able to pm as a result either. Devilishly clever little monkey biz that would have been.......till the bans ran out anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I feel offended by the term "Banned". I suggest changing the title to a more politically correct term, such as "Temporarily Exiled". So... how long are we banned for? EDIT: Wait, so we can still post in Kavar's? Is the title just an aesthetic thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
