Phlab, I'd love to agree with you. And I'd love to stop making posts like this in order to make your life easier, because I think you are a good guy and a very good mod.
But I won't.
These forums have always tolerated irreverence and mockery, provided it doesn't cross the line and descend into insult. Look at the debates forum, for god's sake - it's ...[text shortened]... is. That's what makes unique, and by far the best place to play chess on the internet.

There is a solution; close all forums except Chess forum.
So is that the solution RN and Suzz?
Viewing many posts today, and even some new posts I don't see any reason why I should need to post warnings at all. The forums are a mess, and it can't be blamed on people not under ...[text shortened]... all just get back to normal posting rather than trying to shock and fight each other.

Originally posted by dottewellDots, there is a 'line' and we are just about 2 clicks over it in my mind. I hope you really don't think I'm looking for a Romper Room style forum either. Russ has said that he doesn't like it stagnant, but I think in the past few days if not weeks the forums have turned into a 'What can I get away with style of posting' combined with users who 'Can't believe they got away with that 😠' view.

I also didn't mean my post as a threat, or even a post by RHP. It is my view, having seen it happen 2 or 3 times now.
So, I'd like to enjoy the forums and not wonder who's pressing what button or who's beating the hell out of who in the forums. I had FW to fall back last time RHP forums cooled down for 3 or so days, and I sure can't count on the people I play Evil Dips with to keep me entertained.
PM's during a forum black out always are lame. I really should have saved them.

Edit! I would also like to add that any new users starting threads like some of these would be called a troll right off the bat because we don't know them yet as a forum community. Also, we turn into a site like Yahoo where everyone just starts a joke thread, or clowns up an existing thread that people enjoy.

Originally posted by dottewellI'm over you and your wenches. I'm not being roped into this crap again. Your intent is obvious.
You've become a lot more pompous and prissy since you started your "anything goes" clan. I hope the irony isn't lost.
Believe me, please, I have soo very much I'd like to spew at you. I've got a real dandy or two for others. Not bothering.
The very thing phlab is claiming he wants handled, you are continuing to feed.
