Flaming Forum
As of late, theres been a fair bit of flaming, a lot of people think it's all good fun, but unfortuneately a lot of people don't like it, and some have even stopped coming to the site because of it. Others tho think it's a bit of fun, and quite enjoy it, IE me.
I've noticed on other clubbing/music forums they have special places where they can vent there anger at people, and it seems to work fairly well, disputes are settled far more quickly.
I already mod an abuse forum (http://www.tranceairwaves.com/forum....php?act=SF&f=4 
)thats in it's infancy stage (as the site hasn't been properly launched yet), and I think something like this could help here 
Also I think I should be mod so I can lord it up over coup for a bit
*keeps it real*
I think it would work if ppl realised that all flaming should be kept in such a forum, also a chillout type 'posts dont count' would stop spam in it, and give us a place to take out frustrations without disrupting the main forum, like Az, I would also help mod one if needed, I'd be happy to help with it, provided theres a warning on it that its not to be kept too personally

That sounds fun. 
tbh, i think it should rather be dealt with in ta, as it could, and probably will encourage arguments just to spam.
damn az, anything 2 become a mod

like this will stop flaming everywhere else....
i disagree with even the spam threads, ur still encouraging pointless behaviour regardless of it being organised, jsut flaming u cant control ffs.

it would still provoke unruly behaviour. even tho it's in the "right place" so to speak. there is no benefit from this. it may, in theory, reduce flames but i highly doubt it. ppl have reactions to one another's post. they don't go looking for flames to respond to.
it also creates more work for the mod(s) that will be watching over it. it's not needed. doesn't add anything to the site imo.

| Originally posted by Az hehe, you just want less work I can see your points there, and they are good points, but as I've pointed out, a flaming/piss take/vent forum has benefited other forums plus I tend to be online a fair bit, and could oversee a lot of stuff |
It's a a stupid idea. People will get bored spamming that forum after a few days.
A good piece of flaming shouldn't harm the forum. As long as you have a decent reason to flame, go ahead.
Making such a forum is setting a wrong example.

Re: Flaming Forum
I don't think this is a good idea... and here's something I found quite funny:

| Originally posted by ferrycorstenfan Since Az is so desperate to be a mod, And since its quite a busy place now, how about letting him help coup over on the poll section |
Meh, I'm not desperate to be mod at all, I just thought it'd be nice to lord it up over coup's "everything else..."
I'd rather stick my cock in a vice than mod the polls section thanks
also I don't think many people are getting my point, and I suppose it doesn't help that I called the thread "flaming forum"
meh
Neo thought it was a good idea
Well i personally have never seen the point in a flaming forum. It seems like a waste of time, and im sure their r places already setup on the net for such activities. If you enjoy takin the piss out of people then go do it somehwere else.
This is a community, and the aim is for us to all get on. Thats my opinion anyway
I just think it will encourage spamming, and would be a waste of moderators time, even if new moderators were setup. This is just a pointless idea in the long run and would not benefit the forum
Its pointless and stupid....
but could be funny lol
