Friend, you are disgusted by creating topics? Knows a lot of time back when I was a child my mother taught me a very interesting proverb "In Rome as the Romans" the Forum has 1 owner (American), we suport than 3 directors (US), and do not know how many thousand or million users spread throughout the world, with different Languages, different cultures, different thoughts. Now imagine if each user decides to play the thug life and do what it wants in the forum, rules were made to be fulfilled, and not broken may not seem important to you, but there are people who try to keep the forum running and organized, and this generates custos.Quer an example I'm not American, my language is not English, do not know anyone of the administration of the forum, and respect all rules, including to maintain a universal language, which is English. Now imagine me, you have your house I enter it breaking everything, messing in your fridge and putting his foot on the table, and when you come to complain, I say, fuck it I do not care about his views I do what I want when I want. You would get away with it?
Just let another proverb for you reflect: "My house, my rules, not satisfied, mount your house and has its rules"
Well said, LSD. I have been on boards where three or four "topics" are created every minute. Most of the people have multiple personas, belong to one group or another, try to figure out where other posters live so they can make threatening phone calls, etc. There are literally millions of posters on that board from time to time and anyone who makes a normal, pleasant, everyday sort of comment on nearly any topic, is ridiculed. All newcomers are attacked by the hate squads relentlessly. In reality, there are only a dozen evil doers, but each has twenty of thirty "alts" or different personas (screen names) the agree with everything they, themselves, say. It is a mess. The goal, so it seems, is to limit discussion to a few people who have been on the board for years and years. Actual "topics" are not discussed at any length. Hate vomit has replaced actual discussion, rife with invented allegations of philosophical impurity. Needless to say, it is a very liberal board. They are convinced that they are doing something grand for humankind when they spew sufficient hatred for anything non-Alinsky that normal-thinking folks are driven off. For some people, the freedom of being anonymous is seen as permission to launch personal attacks against other posters, ferret out where they family is, and harass said families, if they can. It started out as a very pleasant, respectful, albeit spirited discussion and debate forum. Lack of moderation by the administrators, however, turned it into the bullying nightmare it is today.
