"Funny, I thought the topic was a solution...."
O right sure it was. We've had DST chat for how long now?

uh... point?
It doesn't catch all of topics you just can't bother to filter through?

oh, so just talkin.
well at least now your post are relevant.
How many times have we had the whole collated-threads/subsection debate?

Guess so... how about that gun control
Edit: see, macbeth seems to be the only one so far with any problem with this, and it seems more out of boredem than anything else.

IE.
Islamaphobia!
Abortions Woohoo!
Guns-r-gud, Guns-r-bad
Isreal ftw!
I think this is a good idea because it may help stop giant splodges of stupid from spraying all over the forums or at least lessen the frequency that it happens.
yes?
no?
so stay in EE and "rate the girl above you" again if this is such a concern in your life, you need to get one.13/f/taiwan wrote:

5+ years and everyone is still at it. nothing really changes.

To be honest, the only time I see you post in DST, Nic, is to either bitch and complain about DST or steer the thread into oblivion with lowing.

Just sayin.

Actually, you could say the reason I want this is because I do have a life. If I decide I would like to spend a little while in here, I would rather spend it reading stuff that applies to the topic that catches my attention at that point in time than say, what someone thinks of Islam in a thread that has nothing to do with it.
Can't speak for Nic specifically because I don't really notice but, on point here.lowing wrote:

There is nothing wrong with DST except those that come in here and start flaming. Very few of you bitching about DST come in here and post an OP to debate, you come in here to flame then run back to EE and cackle like a bunch of school girls and karma each other for a great flame.
If the mods really cared about the quality of DST. THen they should start addressing that. Personally, I couldn't care less.

I'll admit that the circular repetitive arguments on a few tired topics are a bore but people here do generally have the decency of giving descriptive titles, which allows you to *gasp* not read them.

I don't care where the arguments go, if I have one, I will post it. A thread is no different than any real conversation, it drifts. so what?Nic wrote:

Take the abortion thread. First you want to bitch about derailing, then you want to bitch when the thread goes 30 pages and it stayed on track. If you don't want to be involved with the discussion stay out of it, who cares how long it goes or what is said? Does it really matter?
Don't think I bitched about it being on track for 30 pages. Could you show me where?
What are you on about? I liked the fact that it was contained there.
Edit, point is most of these debates get steered to the same common topics by a lot of the same people. Why would you be against being able to find a topic you find so interesting being easy to find.
Oh, I get it, you want to throw down a thread about the death penalty every time you read about somebody killing their kid in a sick way. Or a new thread about how Islam is the most evil thing ever, every time you see some new article about one person you can apply to the whole religion.

"Abortions Woohoo" sounded like a dig to me against that thread. Tucker closed that thread because it went "34 pages and had gone nowhere". Things were discussed and even agreed upon. It went 34 pages because a lot of it was filled people bitching and insulting instead of discussing. If the mods would solve that problem all other fixes would follow. But no, the mods let the insults fly then close the thread instead of closing the people flaming.Nic wrote:

the abortion thread was closed and it was on track for its entire run. People turned it into a flame war.Nic wrote:

As I said, threads like real conversations drift. It is the nature of discussion.
and please note YOU are the one who mentioned Islam. (I apply it to the whole religion because that religion and culture condones the action.)

The thread at the bottom of the list is two weeks old, its not as if we're overloaded with threads and need to make space.
Fuck Israel
oh, sorry, very sorry, I was not aware that you had to be a majority poster in this section to be able to put a suggestion forth. Begging your pardon. I will be on my way.
I think the COD pages need reorganising.
BRB.
But seriously, just asking why you care if you don't post here, there's no real activity anyway and the limited fun is in watching lowing turn every thread into a rant about liberals or muslims, or Jay proving how he knows almost nothing about any topic

like I said I used to, and still do sometimes. Just fools who care more about arguing the same 6 or so topics tend to ruin most threads and not make it worth while sorting through the shit to find the good.
But in the end, you just said you would rather it be a shit show, so what eves.
Ever think there could be more to the section if every thread didnt turn in to shit that most normal people can't stand.

No, it is people that come into a thread just bitch about who is posting, that ruins a thread. If people wanna discuss the same 6 topics, so what? All you have to do is not post. Most threads ruin over do to the flaming instead of the topic. It is a problem with the posters not the threads.Nic wrote:
