Rants/Arguments Section

Not sure exactly where to put this but if a Mod could move it to the proper section.. that'll be appreciated :)

Well.. as you may have noticed there's been alot of arguing in alot of threads..
and I mean ALOT.

So what is someone supposed to do?
Well I propose that Habbox Forum introduce a new section called
"Rants/Arguments"

You may be thinking OH THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA THINGS WILL GET OUT OF CONTROL

Well it's simple..
Keep a few rules in tact (No racism, Don't avoid the filter) Stuff like that, but other then that.. let it be.

People are going to fight no matter what. Don't you think it will be a little bit better if there is a section on its own for stuff like that?

Not only would this keep things organized, but it would also keep the fights in its own section, thus keeping the rest of the forum in line.

Threads in this section should be kept open unless its extreme things such as a racist thread, etc.

You might be think that this is a bad idea because some people will get really offended, but it's simple: If you can't handle being insulted, don't go in.

This section wouldn't be just exclusive to arguments. You'd be able to post ANY kind of rant whether it be about school, life, siblings, friends, Habbo, ANYTHING.

Things like this are also a good idea, because usually when people fight and get it over with, the grudge is dropped which makes it better for the forum to be friendly :)

I had a few more ideas in my head.. but I forgot :P
If you have anything that should be added, feel free to post below.
I really think that the forum managers and whatnot should take this into consideration as I DO believe that it would help the forum stop people from fighting in every other thread.

theres the spam forum tbh. it would get silly and because threads are being made on direct people it wouldn't be fair on that person. i just think they should cut down on infracting/closing threads because of arguments. there only little funny ones not exactly swearing and being racist/abusive etc.

Yeah there's the spam forum... but spam or not the threads always get closed which makes the fight continue in a new thread. Also, arguments are never kept in the spam section.. they always go to the other sections. I see what you mean though. I suppose they should either make the new section, or just cut down on the infractions and closing threads.

i like it:)
only problem is is that mods can be biased:\

I like the idea but I do not feel comfortable. I would most likely stop logging into my account if this was introduced.

i dont think it would work as people would start to avoid the filter and be rude towards others and it would just get out of hand.

Cos he would get slated to hell and wouldnt be able to win?

Its an interesting idea but its possible to fight and argue over a Forum without resorting to snide comments, swearing and bullying. The main thread in the Spam section thats been going on for most of this afternoon was full of reasonably sensible posts albeit they were all fighting about the same topic which ironically wasnt what the original thread topic was about. :P Its for this reason that the thread managed to get to 16+ pages before being closed.
Most of the posts were reasonably mature in comparison to a lot of fights that happen in the Spam section. Unfortunately some of the less mature members of this Forum who appear to hold some heated grudges decided to resort to petty comments which cannot be repeated leading to the appropriate punishment and thread closure.

An entire section devoted to this sort of behaviour is a little extreme, if this proposed section were to move and develop at the same speed as the arguments in the Spam section it would need constant supervision and observation which is something we cannot guarantee all the time as a Moderation team. :(
It would also require a large amount of trust in other users to not break the rules in the first place and to report any rule breaking they see without responding to it.

I see where you are going with that but I believe at the bottom of my heart that there is potential that it can be successful. However, I probably would not participate because I find that not even 5 hours of argueing will convince people on this forum and that alone bugs me and makes me wonder why I waste time on here trying something that will never be successful.
