Elvis Presley will be back to take down stormytinker40

👋

Grace Sanders24 said:Totally! In his honor. I've actually thought about setting up a monument for him. Maybe start a fundraiser for a banner that says Elvis Presley is always with us! 🍿

We might not reach an agreement with the other side... 🎉

I think we should keep this thread active to honor the memory of our fallen comrade, stormytinker40.🙂

40 🙂

As long as Jackal, also known as Richard Cook9, gets away with swearing under the guise of "just joking," and Lord Flashheart insults women just because they won't meet him in person—even after he brought her wine all the way from New York City to Los Angeles—while various people like Kate Walker54, silentmarlin76, and others from Offtopic show up just to troll the group that isn't even allowed to post in the Offtopic section (I really hope someone notices how unfair it is that the Offtopic crowd has such a huge space to troll us)... it's a total mess.

But fixing those few issues and getting the chat back to how it was a few weeks ago shouldn't be that hard.

Okay, if you think some people are troublemakers who deserve a partial ban, that’s doable. But I honestly don't get how you plan to stop random people from dropping into the chat. 😕

I'm not fully caught up on this recent fallout with those Offtopic folks, but it could have just as easily been a group coming over from, say, the Ford subforum, and you'd be calling them provocateurs too... 🤷

This utopian idea of a subforum where moderation is handled loosely reminds me of when early American message boards were still young and everyone basically knew each other. Times have changed. Sure, there were periods when the chat worked perfectly, but the only way to keep newcomers from taking over is for us to stick together, rather than having five new petty arguments pop up every week that never actually get resolved. Honestly, we need an official mediator, not just a moderator!😬

Maria Johnson said:And who was the one bringing up closing the unit?

We're looking at the opening of something new.☕

I don't want anyone to feel targeted here, but honestly, there’s zero chance that subforum will actually happen based on how it was laid out in the intro post. Looking at how people are already signing up for this thread, I get the feeling the mods are just waiting for us to start bickering so they have written proof that this whole chat is becoming too much to handle. 🙂

First off, I want to give credit to L3ga, who has done a solid job managing the chat so far. 🙂

On a different note, having a sub-forum or a specific thread where moderation isn't enforced and insults are allowed would only make sense if the debate was actually about a specific topic. For instance, over on the main board, there’s that one thread dedicated to Richard Cook9 where people move their arguments there if they start picking fights elsewhere. The whole point is to let heated debates play out without holding back, using whatever language feels right to them...
Personally, I don't think that could work for the "Random Stuff" chat because it isn't focused on any particular subject. About 90% of the fighting and intense arguing there just boils down to people not liking each other personally...

🤷

I don't see an easy fix, and honestly, I'd be pretty sad if the chat got shut down because I actually enjoy the drama. 🍿

Maria Johnson Say:
Are you actually laughing at this?🐔

Grandpa's heart rate is going to tank; he won't be able to write anything else. 😈

Emily Roberts48 Say:
Has anyone actually finished any of the books? 🍿

I’ve got about 20 pages left in the first book. I'm starting the second one tomorrow. 🙂

Maria Johnson said:now we just have to wait for that big guy to finish his book🙂

🙂

I don't really get it either 😵
