Argonath BLEH Subforum

[Boxy]

What is BLEH?

BLEH could be a forum that allows people of a special group to talk about things in ANY manner they want.

Why should we have BLEH?

Many reasons, benefitting administration and players.  If we have this forum, then people can flame, be silly, etc.
with little to no moderation(still no warez, porn, etc).  What this allows the administration to do is to be more strict,
and not be so soft with punishment, as special players have a place to vent everything off.  Basically, this subforum could keep
regular players in check, so they push out quality posts in the public forums.

But we don't want this community to look bad.

It doesn't have to.  I think, that only people with 1000+ posts should be able to have access to Bleh.
They've most likely been around long enough to not cry when someone says stuff about them.  So if you hide it from the public,
you don't have to worry about Argonath's reputation going down the tube, which was the excuse for not bringing the
killzone back.

What would the rules be?

-No warez or porn
-No posting others' personal details
-No heavy personal attacks(by heavy I mean non-stop, too rude/terrible shit)
-Don't take anything posted about you too seriously



Notes:

-I'm pretty sure that there is more that I can include, but I forgot some of what I thought earlier.
-I can't edit topics, so unless someone posts, I can't add anything else.
-Examples to look at are the FYAD and the OIFY, minus the porn and shit.
-BLEH is just a codename

Although it won't be added, I support it 100% fucking percent.

Oh, sorry, because all the people that have over 1000 posts are mature enough to not cry at a flame (not meaning you).

a good percent of them dont

[ElMartu]

Yeah, that's the point. It isn't a good idea to block it from users with less of 1k posts, some of them are still immature. The post count doesn't measure maturity, at all.

It's not getting added anyway.

You're not getting what I mean.  If they have a lot of posts, they should know how to not behave like a baby on the internet, as they've probably been around long enough for that phase to pass them.  That doesn't mean all 1000+ post count'rs can take insults, but from my experience, most of them can.

I do get it, perfectly, but I have to disagree at your last statement, not much people could take an insult straight to their face without getting actually hurt.

[Voodoo]

So they have no place in the Internet. The Internet is full of these things, and you can survive here only with a thick skin. Those who will get hurt are simply weak.

100% support. Would be totally awesome.

[Oliver]

No support from me as people can still take offense. BLEH would give players a chance to say things in public they normally wouldn't so they could flame a person and really mean it without the other person realising that.

I do not think the Argonath community is ready for such a thing.

Well, there would still be rules against flaming.

[JDC]

Totally useless BS, to be honest.

For that, we have MSN.

No.
