I really think moderation should be tighter than it is, it's the same people in every thread that have never read the rules and don't even read anything apart from them OP that post something that's not really related to the current discussion and is just dumb. Happens in every single thread.
Also I'm tired of people making claims without backing it up or just saying something along the lines of "this is what happens because I know it does."
I like Pig's post as he plays devil's advocate and makes sure it's not just a violent circle jerk, harsher moderation is really needed with harsher punishments for repeat offenders.

Interesting thread idea.
I want to throw in that, personally, I hate it when discussions become quote block/reply fests. I had a longer drawn out post explaining why. But basically context gets lost, points get ignored, and the thinking overall just seems wrong to me whenever a discussion degenerates into a quote block/reply fest. Main ideas and contentions rarely get discussed, and instead individual statements get critiqued with very little or no consideration of how they work in unison with other statements or ideas presented. Also, as these block/quote argument fests go on the text itself as a whole becomes very unpleasant to read and hard to follow. Not at all like an actual discussion or debate. As a discussion progresses I should have trouble keeping track of all the established and/or ongoing concepts and counterarguments, not keeping track of which quote/reply tree I am in.
Again, I had a longer, more drawn out post explaining why I dislike quote block/reply fests. But since I don't expect these things to go away anytime soon, and don't actively engage in the discussion boards anywho. I'll keep those ideas to myself for another time.

One solution to this is that moderators take more time to try to keep up and explain what it happening in the discussion as it happens. I have done this in the past and it is generally received well (just the process of summarising who said what to whom and the points which have been proven wrong and the points which are still in contention). Unfortunately not many people have the time to do this (including me at the moment) so it is unlikely to become the norm any time soon. I will do my best though.
One thing I would like to see more of is the use of spoilers in people's posts. They are a fantastic way to separate your arguments into manageable chunks with specific targets and would make reading threads a lot easier (hopefully resulting in more people reading the thread before posting on it and a higher post quality overall).
Good morning sweet princess
Problem with discussion threads is that the topics are always bullshit and are never about real world problems (toribash related or not). When a topic comes up its the same 4 people arguing with each other all acting like idiots, no new people ever come to join the discussion and when they do, they get ignored and the flame posts get responded to instead.
Sometimes there is a serious topic like Poverty in Europe, or America. But again its the same 4 rich kids who live of there parents and who have no idea about reality talking shit, thinking they know it all.
Toribash related discussions get shut down way to fast when they are serious problems. E.g. Is Toribash failing, is hampa a bad owner, Are the GMs not doing a good job. When these REAL issues are brought up staff instantly shut them down because they have heard it all before, yet still nothing is done. People should be allowed to discus this 100x a day until change happens.
Summary: Discussion thread sucks because, same 4 people in each thread. Serious issues (toribash related) are shut down.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand almost forgot.
Nothing ever comes of the discussion threads so what the fuck is the point.

lol what did you expect? Did you really think you could solve poverty in Europe or America so easily?
