good point counterpunch, thanks. in response, i would give everyone a clean slate, offer them entry into the board. But maybe a three strikes and your'e out policy. And i repeat, i am not trying to stop good arguments. 99% of people know the difference between an arguement and a flame(im not saying u arent one). If it is borderline, a warning can be given. But this isnt to screw people over, everyone will be welcome until they continuously make posts that obviously were created to start fights and not give a somewhat legit arguement. People dont even have to be "nice." again just no blatant flames. This also gives the flamers a chance to use that board if they ever have something to contribute, and if they want to be ****s they could continue to use the old forums.

I agree with this... there is nothing better than an angry, mean-spirited debate between two intelligent posters, as long as it sticks to the subject.
****suckers like JoePal, Joart and Peso are the ****ers who are ruining this forum.Comment

yeah we are deff on the same page DWiens421. i would even allow slightly more leeway for intelligent posts that are slightly inflamatory. my only objective is not let the idiots that are trying to ruin this forum achieve their goal. i think most people will agree on this.Comment

i just want to make sure there is no confusion about my idea. pretty much the only things that would be unacceptable on the "serious" board would be as follows.
1. outrageous personal attacks. you dont have to make it a secret that you dont like someone. you can call someone out if you were right about some disagreement. ideally, someone would say, " i think you are wrong because" and attempt a rational arguement. But, your an idiot because of this, or ,you are making a terrible argument, here are the flaws in it, arent ideal, its not a problem. i just dont want pointless attacks relating to someone's sexuality, country of origin, and other stuff that is clearly very innapropriate. It is the internet, i entertian no delesions that everyone will be courteous all the time.
2. attacks on a boxer that are clearly made WITHOUT ANY ATTEMPT TO MAKE A RATIONAL ARGUMENT. it is very easy to distinguish the people that are trying to make a point but are just a little arrogant or mean from the people that make no attempt to be logical and make rediculous posts (sometimes in the form of arguments) that just try to piss people off.
if anyone has suggestions, by all means let me hear them. But right now i envision a board being created for "serious" posters that are willing to not make OUTRAGEOUS personal attacks and will refrain from deliberately making an illogical post that attacks boxers without any sort of justification because you know it will piss people off. so there isnt much to ask at all. even the people that are ass holes and are currently ruining the board, all you have to do is stop making posts that contain extreme personal attacks or that are lacking any degree of reason on purpose to piss people off. making a bad argument is no big deal, it happens. deliberately making a terrible argument to piss people off will not be accepted.... if you think this is a good idea and would like to see it be given a chance, you can help me out by 1. expressing your approval for the potential board, and 2. nominating people that you feel have earned the right to be trusted in identifying unacceptable posts. thanks.Comment
