La Bonita Zorilla said:The use of the term "stickys"---which seems to imply both male and female [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] products---is a slur on LGBTQs as it implies lust in the primary motivation to be LGBTQ and as such is inappropriately offensive.
The new format just makes things unmanagable and unwieldly and appears to suggest rational discussion is not being encouraged.
The old way was better, unwieldy as it was. I would suggest three monitors be designated to approve new threads in the forum to keep things manageable. a person who wishes to start a new thread could PM one of the 3 moderators who would start the thread if they approved of it by pasting from the PM.
Well we have a problem now, IMHO...and pretty evident in there now.Lanakila said:I will answer this the reason that I posted that it wasn't up for debate, is that we don't want the debate over how to handle this issue in the threads in that forum. This problem was discussed in a few threads over here, and by the mods and Erwin, and this is the solution we came up with so far.
In our opinion a subforum would just turn into the same problem in a day or so, that we had before the change.
That's not entirely true. At least one thread I was following deserved to be kept separate. I can't see any reason to participate in them anymore.Lanakila said:That was the idea. Especially since the other threads eventually turned into the same discussion between the same members,no one changing sides one way or another, and often got ugly and had to be closed.
Lanakila said:I have one suggestion that we mods remove the old posts, and limit the number of pages down to 10 per sticky so that its not so many pages to wade through.
Thank-you for noting my enthusiasm...and that's what it is.newlamb said:I'm sorry, inspired. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Pax knows what I'm talking about as several times he got carried away in his enthusiasm of sharing.
I actually think the current mods do a terrific and pretty impartial job.
Still too limiting. A Sub-forum with a Gay Moderator would be better.Lanakila said:What does everyone think about this?

One got closed because of one troller, who the regular posters had pretty much got rid by themselves. I reported him and I regret it; it was an excuse to close the thread the next day.
Inspired said:I think dumping the closed topics is a good idea, I don't see how they serve a purpose.
As far as the 10 pages per sticky, I don't think any topic we have dicussed anywhere on the board has been that small, much less one that it compiled of many threads into one sticky, ya know?
I can still find 21 old ones started by a single member, who is anti-gay. One of them was an extremely exaggerated story about a park in my hometown, which I didn't care for.newlamb said:.
By the by, I counted homosexual threads yesterday and 90% had been started by homosexual members. Hmmm.
I don't know, it still leaves the issue of us talking around each other with the different topics.Lanakila said:What number of pages do you suggest? That is why I brought it up so that members that post there can make suggestions.
I just reported the guy for trolling and this is not the first time this has happened. I'll never make a report again, unless I want the thread closed. Let them troll. We have regular members who say atrocious things over and over and nothing is done.Lanakila said:Well, to be honest we don't often need excuses to close threads. That thread had many, many reports, not just yours Plan 9.
