Suggestion: Serious Discussion Topic?

People already take advantage of the lack of moderation on the normal site and this thread would mean that more mods be made to stick around.
It would prolly turn into a Battle Royale section without em.

It's called a temp ban.

If you feel like being immature you get banned.
End of story.


I've seen it work on the most immature trolling childish forums.
If it works there it'll work here.

Thats if there are enough moderators to moderate to begin with? Which was my point.

I don't really go on forums much asides from this one so I dunno how they do things around the internetz.

Well it's like Tyrien wrote.
On the forum we came from where he was admin.
He had a serious topic section with it's own mod.
Kinda like the music section is here.

And people just learned that you don't fuck around in there.
For those who wanted to fuck around he had a whole section of the forum dedicated to trolling and spamming.

It balanced the forum out by alot and taught people not to fuck around and be assholes outside of " The Forest' ( Spamming/trolling section )

Let me just revert you guys to a section of my original post:

But with ShinjukuEki adding new things to the site and with the messages that people have sent regarding moderators I really think this could be possible sometime in the future.

I'm not talking about the here and now - especially since moderation is poor. I'm talking about in the future when/if we already have established moderation - I think this could work if we have that.

I would link you to the forum that is already established with a Serious Discussion forum but I don't want to be in trouble for advertising so sorry xD But it is heavily moderated.

Not really about being heavily moderated.
Because << those kinda forums usually get annoying.

But more people like Kanji who jump on for a little bit and do some fixing up.

With half if not more of the members being under 18 and probably most being in the 13-15 range, I'm quite happy that no one posts personal information. You don't need an account to read the threads, I don't think it's quite safe.

Well IF the section was implimented it's nuder the assumption that there's an admin on to do it, therefore appoint moderators.

Kinda simple though. Create such a section, and if a person spams or trolls in it they get a temp ban for 2 months. If afterwards it happens again they get a perm ban. I think that will keep most people in line.

2 months is ridiculous.
We'd lose members.

Yup. Week max, unless it more is warranted.

It's a good diea to let people know to f'off, but the section isn't THAT important.
