Removing the World Issues section

Woeler and Flipmode always:

[WildSimba]

Step one: See post that annoys you
Step two: Don't respond

Ignore accomplished.

Accept it's not because I don't want to even see them in the first place. So no not really, you can usually do it in other sites so why not here?

I think if you add them as a Foe, it automatically ignores them.

I will try it now and let you know, thanks :)

Yes I'm arrogant, I'm arrogant and I'm proud of it! I've admitted that before and I'm not going to change that because it's who I am and more important who I want to be.

You can apply the same logic to any sort of behaviour...

Oof... this topic has turned into a drama bomb

EXACTLY.

Anyways, are we still on the World Issues thing? I think debates, if any will partake, should be monitored carefully by a mod, in my own opinion. Just so if things start getting out of hand, they can be nudged back in the right direction. And maybe rename World Issues to something more general? But it's not really that important

We can't even have a debate about re-arranging parts of the forum without it escalating into drama. What makes anyone think we could handle politically charged debates?

Also, we aren't removing anything else from the World Issues page. We purged seven or eight hot button issues back when we removed the Smarty Pants den.

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"

[Noah]

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.

Kay then my 2nd suggestion is an ignore feature, so I can ignore arrogant people and their posts.

Oh Flip *facepalm*

Snce when is an argument drama?

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.
