You can express yourself unhindered about a Nightwish concert without having to make 25 topics about it. You can express your love to a particular song without making three topics saying that in the same way. But yes - you are right - freedom is more important than aesthetics and content, and I feel that people who have such a desire to express themselves in such a bizarre fashion should have a place to do that in. You have convinced me. The poll says yes, but since I am the only one actually defending that position, I think that the majority of people who actually care about this decision are on the "no" side. If it was up to me, I would delete that forum. But I will listen to you folks. Not because I have changed my mind, but because all this talk of "freedom" makes me sound like a heartless authoritarian and dictator, I will prove that this is not the case. Apparantly people feel that their freedom is limited if the Spam Pit is gone. Well I believe in liberty. If people feel that they can only be truly free with a place where they can make all the brainless spam they want, then I will let them have that pit. I will now put it as a separate forum at the bottom of the site, so that I do not have to have that shithole (a valid expression) obscure the link to the most recently posted post in Off Topic. If I deem that the Pit is pretty inactive, I will bring this matter for discussion again. If people do not post in there, then they do not need it to express themselves unhindered. But we will see. I may be wrong. Too bad the forum board statistics get screwed up by all those spam posts, but whatever - freedom before statistics, right? Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité! |

Now that that's done and dusted I can't help but feel it will be a long time before yet another interesting argument crops up. Perhaps its for the best, what with all the tempers and such. On a more urgent note; give me honoured already! |

Sunny, even if the forum was inactive, it is currently active once more. IMO, there are far less active forums that the Spam Pit - but we do not consider deleting those. |

Alex, if you feel that there are forums that should be removed, please make a topic about it in Suggestions, Questions and Feedback. It's the way to go! As you have seen, I have had some "clean-up" suggestions already, but I do not want it to be me all the time
And I think you are right, Mordus, but I thought it was refreshing to have a real debate. And it's not like people are mad at each other. *hides poison syringe* I think it was a fine, hot debate - it did not escalate to some of those vulcanous topics of old, but definately more heated than the regular discussions.

Isn't it that people don't gain anything for thier post count if they post in there? If so, what are you losing by having it here? If it offends you so much then ignore it. We shouldn't get rid of things because a few of us dislike the idea, we should introduce things because a few of us like the idea, obviously there is a considerable number of people who like it, and so they should be entiltled to use it. If you think you are wasting time moderating it, then don't, becuase people don't get anything from posting in there. If we got rid of everything because a couple of people opposed them, then every organisation on the planet would just fail. |

I think you need to read through all the replies before you comment on a topic, B.A. As you can see, this problem has been solved.

That's what we established - we decided to move the forum to the bottom instead of deleting. |
