Restricting discussion in the Serious board isn't going to help the Flood.

The Flood is spam because of the rules you've created that allowed it to be. Let's first have you accept responsibility for those actions of not penalizing liked users for breaking the rules.

Telling people that they now have to post their Serious topics in the spam board doesn't mean they're going to comply, they're literally just going to stop posting, not getting you anywhere. On top of that, your moderators have become increasingly criticism-phobic and cannot give reasons as to why they prohibit discussions, other than the "because I said so" mentality.

Some changes are good, some suck. These changes suck. Please revert or you will lose more activity then you attempt to gain with these bad policies.

The red is something I'm trying to change with this rule update and Serious board shuffle. I imagine it might be very stagnant and painful around the forum while everyone tries to adjust, but introducing quality topics into the flood will help it not be the "spam board." It was never meant to be full of that shit.

You may be right about spam. I'll look at the rules more closely and amend them if it is needed to limit shitposts.

I say we at least give it a try. I mean in the old Flood we had one board where we had our serious and stupid topics. Worked fine back then, we should give it a shot again.

Honestly I'd lock the Serious board completely (temporarily) and see how serious discussion goes in The Flood.

In the old Flood, religion talk was haram.
For obvious reasons.

The layout we have here makes nothing but sense, it's the userbase that needs to grow up.

Yeah, political and religious talk was banned for a reason...

I can't remember well, but was talking about the Nazis banned as well?
Or was it just use of their name?
