Hey guys, here's an idea: Create a separate forum for debates and arguments so that the other forums are kept clean. This worked well on another forum that I frequent. Any posts that seemed to induce an argument were either deleted or moved into the Fight Club forum. This forum isn't as closely moderated and it could allow some members here to let of steam without inflicting damage to the forum as a whole if others don't wish to participate in the quarrel.

Issues I will address (because I know other will argue):
  • This will cause further conflict between members: Well if they wish to hate on each other, instead of holding it in they can express it here and not share it with the world in The Lounge for instance.
  • So why don't they use PMs?: Maybe they'd like to share it with those who care and would support them, this allows the People Staff to do their job and sort out the conflict.
  • This will just cause more drama: Oh please, I've been a part of many clubs and organizations and I can tell you none were drama free, how do you expect society to function without conflict? Not everyone can play George Bush and just nuke the hell out of their enemies (kind of one sided don't you think?).

*I'll think of more later or respond to responses...

I also believe the closing of some of these threads leads to more hate.

But in this case this special forum wouldn't be as closely moderated due to its nature. Just take a quick look around the forums right now and I bet within 5 minutes you can find at least 10 posts that belong in the Fight Club not in The Lounge or Pictures forums or anywhere else for that matter...
