Removing the World Issues section

[Azdgari]

Why are people posting about how dramatic this is? There was no drama except Woeler and Flip having a small skirmish, and that was a couple pages back. Otherwise, everything is fine, and the issue we were talking about is pretty much resolved anyway, or at least we resolved to create a new topic if anyone has further concerns. Half of the drama problem here is that whenever anything remotely confrontational happens, everyone has to drop by and derail everything by saying "oh no drama", "another day on MLK," "guys this is too dramatic it should be locked"

Snce when is an argument drama? Is obama and Romney disagreeing a drama? No, so stop calling it a drama. I don't see on how we should change because the same forum rules apply to the the world issues as to the whole forum. If someone does something wrong I'm sure they will be banned or something like that. Saying "you're wrong" is not offensive nor an insult. Do we have a topic yet?

Btw WS it has turned out good for me so far. I'm pretty happy

Very good point indeed

Locked temporarily. I'm going to move the posts concerning this issue into a new thread and we can pick up where we left off.

Please continue where we left off :)

Guys, come on, I expected better. I leave this topic to go to school, and I come back to see drama, personal attacks, off-topic drama, etc... Take a step back, breath in slowly, hands ff the keyboard... chill. And I don't think that posting image macros helps either, so close that page as well.

Now, if the World Issues section is removed, a lot of drama is inevitable by the people who liked it and posted in it regularly. If you keep it, someone's going to be mad. So whatever happens, someone gonna get mad. (Sounds like the real world)

The only thing I can recommend is what I suggested earlier: keep the section, but keep a closer eye on the individual topics and close them down if needed to be. Just because a topic or two collapsed into chaos doesn't mean that the whole project needs to be scrapped.

That would be what we are referring to. Also, it's never a good thing to let your personal life and member conflicts leak out onto the forum.

[quote="FlipMode"]Kay then my 2nd suggestion is an ignore feature, so I can ignore arrogant people and their posts.[/quote]

Oh Flip *facepalm*

[quote="Woeler1"]Snce when is an argument drama?[/quote]
Since a member-to-member argument found its way into a public setting

And the last time we brought up the World Issues section in a staff meeting, everything was fine. So as of this time it isn't going anywhere.

[Woeler]

@DGF i dont really care for the personal attack(flips),i hardly took it as an insult. Also this is not drama.

We are discussing and there is an obvious thing here. Remove it and a lot of people are mad. Keep it and some won't like it. Fact is that those people can stay away. If you don't like north korea, dont go there.

Yeah, as Noah said, the last time the staff had a chat, we decided on deleting the smarty pants section, and to just delete conversations that get to people fighting. There's really no reason to delete the world issues forum, because if there's an issue in it, we'll just get rid of it.

lol Woeler, this isn't North Korea. xD

It may not be, but locking up everything you don't like is. So he may even have a point in comparing the two. Sometimes it's best to simply avoid trouble by yourself instead of shoving it under the carpet and pretending it's not there at the expense of others.

I really think that it will be a bad idea to lock down the World Issues section, is what it comes down to it.

Whatever ends up happening just remember to keep calm and ramble on
