New changes that are going to happen

[FlipMode]

I can't wait until these changes are made and turn out good and then we wander what all the fuss as about:P I will lol in your face, ya hear ? a big, fat LOL with capital letters right in your face.

Are the changes unnecessary? Slightly yes. Is it unneccesary to make such a fuss over something that will be fine in the end anyway, slightly also. If its terrible, the staff will undo it I'm sure, and if it's not then no harm done ( as far as I can see that's going to be the case) only thin I highly detest is havin to get permission to start a thread, I mean double you tea eff?! But the rest of it is fine son. So let's just see what happens :)

Make love, not war!

only thin I highly detest is having to get permission to start a thread, I mean double you tea eff?!

Where does it say that?

I think the whole permission thing has been confused. It's probably going to be a system set up for The Den, just like for new members, where every post in the den has to be approved before being put in there. Just like new members need to have their first post approved. You wouldn't have to PM a mod to do it.

As far as the 1 month thing, yeah maybe that is a bit harsh. I'm sure the staff will be discussing it.

And jeez woeler, why are you making such a big deal over a SPAM AREA. Do you not notice that everyone wanted it gone but you? Also, for the Smartypants Forum, we only deleted the stuff that had no purpose being on this forum, really even in the first place. Moka decided to give people a chance with these debates and they backfired. If we hadn't of removed them, they they would of done is just sat there for new members to see, and be totally counter-productive. You say the Evolution thread had some good discussion... but it really didn't. It was just a bunch of fighting. And that Speed of Light thread is still there. lol

Dictatorship much?
'We disagree with your opinion so we're going to delete it.'

Honestly, that's bullcrap.

That's referring to the Laws of Motion, not this site. lol So, I'm going to have to ask you to stay on topic, seriously... this is getting ridiculous. This has nothing to do with science.

Has nothing to do with disagreeing with people's opinions. There are a lot of stupid threads in The Den that shouldn't just be floating there. All we're doing by not doing this, is just allowing The Den to get messier and messier. We're trying to clean it up. Again, not doing this would go along with being Counter-Productive.

[LionsAreKings]

well... this just got ugly

We would never delete someone's post because we don't agree with it. We are talking about posts that are pointless and shouldn't have been made to begin with.

But deleting whole forum sections was just uncalled for.

It's not open heart surgery. If we messed up, we can fix it. Hakuna Matata. No Worries.

Considering it was never really 'messy' in the first place requiring tidying up, I'd say you're wasting your time.

Oh, and one more thing..

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Whut's seems pointless to you may not be for others.

I don't see what the fuss is about.. I'm with Tekir on this one.

These changes will probably feel like removing a band aid quickly for some people. It might hurt and create some complains but it's going to be better after.

I'm sure others will get the message behind that picture. as for the spam. It's the task of the mods and the admins to keep spam from being there. Now you're doing the opposite. Sparking up the TLK discussions is and exellent idea. But deleting whole forum sections was just uncalled for.

I'm simply giving my views and nothing keeps me from doing so. It does not matter if you take them in account or not, It's just that I have done something to defend the views I have.

We didn't delete entire areas. We deleted a few topics in those areas, and are renaming sections to make them fit in with multiple topics. It's just a matter of organizing, and making it all less spammy.
