This debate gets brought up quite a bit throughout this forum, so I figured I'd ask the masses- How would you feel about having OT open to all types of discussion, language, ect?

I don't really care, but then, making fun of extremists of any kind would be hilarious and amusing.

Go to That site and figure it out. It would literally be That site without the anonymity.

Damn it, this. Have you ever been to an OT flockdraw? The site that must not be named is actually more mature in those things. This board would implode if there were no rules; it already gets close to it with a bunch of strict rules active. No rules would be horrible.

I can't think of anything funny and witty to say about this...:(

I'll just say that's a very bad idea. It would be like playing an online match of halo with a lot of immature teens saying racist and sexist thing that would get annoying fast.....

It would pretty much suck. OT is a great place to be because of the rules that underpin the community. Take out those rules and the community will make this forum not such a great place to be.

I think it would largely be a great idea, but I think there would still need to be some sort of moderation system to get rid of the people just trying to start fights and cause trouble or racist/sexist/homophobic/hate-speech comments, because those just aren't cool under any situation. It would be nice to be able to just say what's on your mind, though (assuming it's not incredibly offensive and falls into the category mentioned above) or be able to make funny, but slightly inappropriate jokes like Michael Scott always makes on The Office (hopefully you get the reference, I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to say that here, which is why I like your idea for the most part).

In addition to the mocking of people who take things too seriously, you can say some of the most witty responses ever without including a swear word.

Yeah.. I thought the same thing until I got modded a few times for things that were totally debatable.

It seems like it would be nice and god knows I would like to be able to get away with a bit more around here, but I really think just eliminating moderations entirely would end up destroying it.

Unfortunately you can get modded here for saying things like calling people hypocrites.

Nah, I'd probably be the mother/father of almost all of them, so there wouldn't be much fighting. As for taking care of them... we'll pick straws and go from there.

They didn't have moderators, either, but the very night it opened, it all went to hell. And that's how they acquired moderators. And yes, they do have moderations.
