Making Debate Policy a success

[tailfins]

I'm going to serious up just this once for a good cause: This message board. Annoying people is fun. Saying the most outrageous thing you can think of to those with the moxie to play along is fun. However, if we make the board unsafe for work or cause inappropriate content filters to kick in we are doing real damage. My question is this: How can we monkeys throw our turds without causing real damage?

1- Use the ignore feature
2- Have self control and not reply to those poking you
3- If one MUST, take it to the cage and get it out of your system

That is the ONLY way to do so, without staff being heavy handed and using banning features. And then when people get disciplined, they complain more, maybe leave, or get even worse.

Oh, and did I mention that no one really listens to me when I point out the first 3, in one ear and out the other?

I will listen if you make a good business case. Otherwise it's SOOOO much fun making people so angry that they start to drool. And yeah, that means starting it too!

No, those are Asian monkeys. We are an Amazon species.

4- don't fling it from one thread over into another thread.

Once an "enemy" is made, it travels to the threads of both participants like a disease from a zombie movie.

seriously, if you'd bothered to read the original post you'd find that you have placed yourself in that picture flinging poo.

Who makes anonymous enemies? Craziness.

People who need boogie men to blame for the ills of their own life rather than facing the reality that each man carves out his own happiness.
