Let's hear why a rant subforum may not be a good idea....

excessive amount of negativity that can snowball into a crowd of /b/tards?? :D
As long as they keep to their area though: Who cares :D

Sure-- for the one getting shot at for sticking his neck out.

Re: Sick of all the closing threads
 
I am not certain about a rant section. Great in theory, but unless there is moderation to back it up, negativity will just grow around it and spew all over the rest.

I'd rather pull the weed out by the root rather than cutting the branch..

(on my n900, so please be patient if you want a reply.)

I've always held that in high regard and i guess i can appreciate that because i've seen and participated in other forums where things are either too free (anarchy reigns, nothing gets done) or the extreme opposite (everything is restricted, nothing gets done).

I guess if the official MeeGo forum is too... Un-maemo, we can still modify this shed to retain the community and what's great about it and just tack on a new label to the clubhouse? "Ye Olde Pre-MeeGo Supporter Club" or whatever.

Let's not lose ourselves here. There's something truly worth saving and holding on to.
Just rename it back to ITT and we can also adopt other tablets into the discussion (Meego, iPad, Android, WebOS). :)

I've also have been on a fair range of forums. It is possible to have productive discussions in an unmoderated forum. But it takes one troll before it all goes to hell. A shame since I loved the community and met my (now-ex/good friends) from there. I feel that way about this forum too. I love(d) the community gathered around the devices, but the way things are going I rather just seperate the forum into two. Productive dicussion and noise.

If they're completely ignored and treated like trash then no one would use that area anyway then :D

They want to vent if there are lustener.. Sort of like going to a shrink... Or unloading stuff in a red light district :D

Maybe because, like Texrat, he is one of the heroes of this site. Whoever doesn't understand that about either of them hasn't been paying attention over the years.

The fact that this site has gone a long ways towards chasing Penguinbait away from here is hugely to its discredit.

I've seen this brought up several times, but never seen anything officially addressed on it.
Well I was half joking when I requested a asshats forum, a place for rants is not necessarily a bad thing.

However I am not also against RULES. IF there is well documented rules that can be pointed to as to why someone was banned or thread was closed, at least I could put some community support behind this. If its up to moderators and complainers, I think its too subjective. If there is rules that you continue to break at least I can respect that.

I think though, perhaps the rants or complaints threads in one location that again don't show up in active topics is the way to go.

No problem - we know you better than that. :)

The general topic was sufficiently expressed that it is important to me and I responded, but the topic has been overshadowed. I do think there has been a change in the community operation and a rants subforum will not suffice to address my concerns.

I guess in due time I will have to start a new thread to discuss the thread that raised my concern when it was closed for no good reason that's been stated. (and I will say that the moderator did not respond to my PM)

I so wish! This place often feels like a debate site, which it wouldn't be if the dice weren't loaded in favor of Nokia.
