What do you think, if anything, is wrong with the flood board? [Unofficial]

I'm curious - would anyone be upset if Gaming were to evolve into an Entertainment board? (TV, Movies, Sports, Games, etc.)

It would take more content away from flood (which already lost politics, gaming and religion), and I like having a board solely for gaming (which would probably drown out everything else). Its big enough that it deserves its own place.

<_<
Considering that entertainment threads make up so little of the threads made on Flood, I'd say it makes little difference.

Why do people feel the need to have serious topics and censored discussions in the flood?
I honestly don't get it. Someone explain it to me.

It's a problem because deeming something serious is subjective. There were numerous bait threads and borderline-troll threads in Serious that made me scratch my head.

And if you haven't noticed, funneling all the quality topics into Serious makes The Flood a complete cesspool, since it promotes the "stupid stuff goes here" way of thinking.

I think this answers the question above.

Ugh. What's the problem with having them in Flood? Its not like the rules are vastly different from gaming. I don't see them getting buried. If there isn't that many why the push to move them over?

I just like having a dedicated gaming forum. I don't want to sift through anime and guardians of the galaxy to find bloodborne.

Yeah, you're probably right. Still the natural progression of this conversation is going to be people complaining about shitposts burying / derailng their threads. And we already voted against strict moderation.

If you guys really hate shitposts this much just make private groups a thing.

I doubt there's enough people for that yet. It'd just drive conversation away from boards and encourage cliques.
Its too early yet.

Well they'll kill the site with banning shitposting so it has the same effect.

Agreed. I don't think banning shit posting is up for discussion as most of the mods seem to recognize it wouldn't help.

They're not banning shitposting

Slash seems to have missed the three times that I stated we aren't banning shitposting.

What might happen is that really shit ones, and I mean truly dire shitposts. Ones with barely anything to smirk at, let alone discuss may face the axe.

This is also discussion, not what is going to happen. Hence the unofficial tag, but it might get used to get some ideas for proposal going.

Let's just try this new system out. I don't think the complainers will stop, but this may work best for now.

I do have one question as to Serious. A while back Nuka made a DA:I thread in Serious since it was about a trans character. Would such a thread be moved to Gaming under the new system? I think it fits better in Gaming, but it may not give Nuka the conversation he was looking for.

I think I can get behind the new rules as long as the next step isn't axing shitposts. Though I think topics like math and science should fall under Serious. I realize I'm pretty much doing a 180 in this thread.  You guys can't drop stuff on me like this.

I don't think the complainers will stop,

Well of course they won't. It isn't in their nature to stop. That's is what makes them what they are.

My problem with the Flood is that we still don't have webm support.

I want to say chat rooms.... But we're basically one.. and we do have PMs.

Maybe not.

Too much restriction on spamming and thread title length

But group sex isn't the same with delayed PMs

With chat rooms we could do some great orgies, maybe even some furry RP

...well...I didn't mean that... But.. sure

you know you want it

I'm good, thanks.

How about this guys.

Leave flood alone, allow shot posting to an extent and don't allow all the mean stuff as per usual

Make serious serious discussion about anything. An example above is getting serious answers about building a PC and not getting "try Xbox.com"

Change gaming to entertainment. This is a board of anime, games, movies, sports and stuff.

Seriously this

too many homosexuals and niggers

also why the fuck am i not mod yet

I realized that topic wasn't suitable for this forum anyway and I wouldn't of posted it if I had realized that.

Question was less about that specific topic, but threads like it. Was just using it as an example.
