I liked GDi and i think it should come back (but with " no cp or gore" rules ofc)
i think starpluck shouldn't be allowed to moderate sensationalist headlines he just endlessly spins things to make out israel as some sort of nazi state before jumping on chances to ban people who call him out maybe if he like, toned it down a bit, but his extremely strong feelings on the subject have certainly created a conflict of interest

I can't remember any time he has ever banned people for debating with him
SH does a better job of being a hub for mass debate than the MD forum does.
[QUOTE=Tsyolin;45449075]SH does a better job of being a hub for mass debate than the MD forum does.[/QUOTE] Not really, MD is pretty tightly regulated and although it's slower you get far more worthwhile and intelligent arguments there as opposed to SH where every opinion is entrenched, and the evidence doesn't matter
All the NSFW threads are pointless and unneeded. Give me a reason why not that isn't some recycled bullshit like "We're discussing it."
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;45447635]Sensationalist Headlines should be removed with or without an alternative subforum to replace it. [editline]20th July 2014[/editline] And threads that are obvious bait like any feminist thread ever should be banned.[/QUOTE] I have yet to see a single feminist related thread that didn't ultimately degrade into semantics and shitflinging

[QUOTE=RustledJimmys;45451260]All the NSFW threads are pointless and unneeded. Give me a reason why not that isn't some recycled bullshit like "We're discussing it."[/QUOTE] so people can jerk off to them? do you seriously think that people watch porn for the plot or something?
[QUOTE=Sharker;45451496]How else will I share my creepy fetishes with everyone?[/QUOTE] It's like the Deviant Art Appreciation Station except taken seriously. [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Laferio;45451499]so people can jerk off to them? do you seriously think that people watch porn for the plot or something?[/QUOTE] There's other sites for that.

Our wonderful dictator is behind all of this.

[QUOTE=RustledJimmys;45451571]Figured Garry was better than that.[/QUOTE] facepunch has never been a classy forum, and fast threads even less so. its not like people are making them in sensationalist headlines or general discussion. [editline]20th July 2014[/editline] and even then have you seen any interview with Garry? he legit doesn't give a fuck, and I like his laid back attitude.
I just think it's stupid how we're currently, or in the past, enabling kiddy fiddlers and hardcore fetishists. It's troubling that it has to be monitored at all.

I don't' care if it "doesn't have a victim", it enables pedophilia and it shouldn't be on the forum. [editline]20th July 2014[/editline] I'm gonna get spammed with dumbs but it's the unpopular opinion thread for a reason.
but loli isn't allowed at all now, and if someone looks to be under 18 the poster gets banned. I dunno where you're getting this 'ENABLING PEDOPHILIA IDEA' from.
WOW GUYS, SHE ONLY [I]LOOKS[/I] LIKE A KID. [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=bdd458;45451761]but loli isn't allowed at all now, and if someone looks to be under 18 the poster gets banned. I dunno where you're getting this 'ENABLING PEDOPHILIA IDEA' from.[/QUOTE] That's my point though, it's troubling to me that it had to be an issue in the first place. Just because something isn't allowed that isn't going to stop shitposters.
If you spend time getting stressed out about what other people jack off to, you need a life.

On top of that, anyone who posts someone who looks under 18 or loli gets banned. if you're going to be mad over something, at least know what you're fucking mad over.

Disallowing something just means that there will be much much less of it, and if it is posted, will be swiftly dealt with.
[QUOTE=Radical Rebel;45451777]If you spend time getting stressed out about what other people jack off to, you need a life.[/QUOTE] Not stressed, just perplexed you need a forum page to discuss this. And again no reason has been given either.
[QUOTE=RustledJimmys;45451801]Not stressed, just perplexed you need a forum page to discuss this. And again no reason has been given either.[/QUOTE] Because the burden of proof is on you, on why they shouldn't be allowed.
[QUOTE=RustledJimmys;45451801]Not stressed, just perplexed you need a forum page to discuss this. And again no reason has been given either.[/QUOTE] The reason is pretty much just 'because porn' Maybe it's a stupid reason but that's the reason

[QUOTE=Radical Rebel;45451824]How do the porn threads affect you?[/QUOTE] it's not a question if whether or not if it actually effects you the question is more actually "why are you getting your panties in a twist when there's literally thousands of other websites for you to look at smut on"

I dont have a problem with porn threads, I just don't get why people have a problem of not having porn threads. Is discussion of anal gapes really that big a part for your online social experience? :v:
[QUOTE=bdd458;45451887]"you can find it other places" is a really dumb reason for why not to allow NSFW threads.[/QUOTE] i didn't say it shouldn't be allowed. i'm just saying it's insanely dumb to get angry about a thread like that being closed when there's thousand of other sources lol
