Real Discussion Threads Restricting Fun!

[Abaddon]

Can I start an old style OT discussion thread that does not have all these new restrictions?
For now you can. Soon though we will require that all “serious” discussion threads (determined by the mods) fall under the Red Diamond moniker and those who start a political discussion or economics discussion etc without it, will find that the thread is closed or we have added the designation and moderated it to the higher standards. We do not know how long that transition will take.

You have got to be kidding me!?

Any thread that is political or economical will be deemed as requiring your new uber moderation?!

I applaud the idea of creating threads that will be moderated more harshly, for those that wish to have such a discussion, but please don't ban the type of discussion we now have!

Why can the two not exist in tandem? If you wish the thread to be viewed seriously and moderated as such.. use the diamond. If not, don't use it, and the thread can be used as normal.

You are making a BIG change to the way OT will be moderated for just a handful of loud voices. Content people don't make any noise.. and how many are there of those?

TL: DR Don't FORCE this on us, let those who want to have serious threads, start the serious threads.



(I also found it odd there was no discussion thread for this thing in SF to begin with!)

Can we make religious threads Red Diamond mandatory as well? I, for one, would certainly appreciate some extra moderation in those.

Well if you want a highly moderated religious thread, sure, make one. But I should also be allowed a light hearted one also.

If we retroactively made the New York Mosque threads RD and infracted accordingly, how long of a vacation would some posters have?

We don't need a second thread for discussion. Pls use the thread in OT.
