Does the forum need a more chill atmosphere or is the passive aggressiveness a welcome attraction that fits the sites general tone? L Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EGN 121 Posted November 3, 2015 A little is okay but given the main effort, I think if the site became particularly savage it would seem distasteful. I think by far the most savage site I've been on is Barryboys.co.uk. Its ostensibly a car site, but cancer jokes, family members suicides and child rape are pretty common sources of humour on there.I think DI gets the balance just right as it is. Fools aren't tolerated, but neither are people made to eel uncomfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted November 3, 2015 Great thread Assuming this is sarcastic, the discussion in chat on this topic last night was extensive and resulted in a lot of different points of viewing being put forward about whether the current abuse is a deterrent to new members, whether certain posters should be banned and whether or not DL's liberal approach has been over-stretched from it's original goals. It also involved the mods plotting a knight of long knives but I doubt that was totally serious. The fact that this thread has defended into a slag fest within a few posts is only going to strengthen the overlords argument. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted November 3, 2015 This is the broadest church out there. If you remove the abuse you will remove a lot of good posters along with the shit ones. Its not broken so leave it alone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boy, if I got sumptin to say I say it directly to who needs to hear it. I welcome that practice should I ever become the topic de jure of a coffee clatch.

I thought that only applied to PMs or private chats. Literally nybody can walk into chat and see whats just been said about them. To be honest, it would bother me not one jot if I were to be banned. This is not a real place and, here, Im not a real person or summat. When we used to do chat years back ( even using MSNchat) nobody whinged like a girl about banning people because they were rude/nasty or otherwise. It pretty much sums up the state of the forum nowdays,there are too many people bringing their proverbial handbags up to their chins in mock horror. If you dont like certain posters dont interact with them,if posters are crossing 'the line' the Mods will deal with it, not the pseudo ones. Ive never asked for anybody to be banned,even when they went way over the line and bought my personal grief to this place. Basically, grow the fuck up or piss off, the place will survive without you or me or anybody else. Seriously, its all gone a bit pathetic. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with everything you've said, the admins saw it differently from what I heard. But at the end of the day it's down to whoever owns the forum to decide content.
