Deeper Discussion (Serious Time)
The Blind Eternities forum
Posted on April 1, 2015, 5:10 a.m. by JexInfinite
This is for all the serious stuff you want to discuss which is either too sensitive, heavy, or deep for Just Chatting threads. (Phrasing)

Dude, this is incredibly necessary. People got super pissed with deep and heavy stuff in Just Chatting.
It's definitely worth keeping everything at a bit of a low for the time being, just while everyone regains their heads.

If someone wants to have this kind of discussion then it's necessary. It's nobodies place to decide what users can and cannot talk about in the threads they start (unless it's obviously not PG13).

Ok since this is for stuff that may be too sensitive for other areas of the site: I seem to have missed a shitstorm happening somewhere. Can someone point me to the thread(s) where this happened so I can see what the big deal is?

Gidgetimer This is specifically for things which don't belong in Just Chatting, like the discussion about what has been going down in the modern forum, and not light hearted discussions which had been appearing on Just Chatting regularly for about a week.

Yeah, that is what I'm asking. What exactly did go down in the modern forum? I seem to have missed it and it seems to have everyone in an uproar. Basically I'm asking for a synopsis, thread title, or thread link so I can be up to date on the state of the community.

Basically a couple of threads mentioned pod. Some arguments started.
I'm trying to stay away until I know people have calmed down.

Hmm the pod banning is a touchy subject. Thank you for at least the subject of the offending threads, now I can at least narrow down what I am looking for to read what has the community in an uproar.

It wasn't because it was about pod, it was about the people on those threads. Names shall not be mentioned.

kintighd: This would be a fine place to reply. I personally don't mind hearing a reply because I appreciate learning and debating.

I know that a lot of people got sick of my shitposting on topics which Chief and I couldn't agree on, leading to the creation of this thread, so use it. I'm sick of your seriousshitposting in the JC threads. Take it here. It belongs here.

ChiefBell Irrelevant. This thread was made specifically for what is currently on JC.
April 27, 2015 7:49 a.m.
So JC is where we're supposed to walk the edge between shitposting and being serious? Sounds like a lot of gray area. You have to understand that our conversation grew slowly out of one that wasn't extremely deep. I had no idea this even existed...
Either way, we can expect someone to post something totally irrelevant and change the topic. No harm done, right?

ChiefBell I wouldn't call the current topic casual at all. It's a serious discussion, and therefore belongs here. It may be appropriate for JC, but if it gets any deeper, it must be dealt with in an appropriate manner. Judging by the way every other conversation on the same topic has gone, they should just be here, where it's perfectly acceptable to say whatever the hell you want about lewd spanish magazines. What's more, the conversations can continue forever, without someone pulling the plug on it.

Defpotec If deep topics arise from harmless ones, moving them here is a good idea. If they stay harmless, and don't evolve, they are fine in JC.

With all due respect, you're not a mod. I don't appreciate you asking me to limit where i can speak. I respect your reasons why but that doesn't exactly give you the right. Everyone deals with uncomfortable subjects in jc. Best you can do is unsub if it upsets you so deeply and come back at a later time.

@JexInfinite: You do not dictate who posts where. You are welcome to suggest that people move a discussion to another forum. You are not welcome to huff and puff and do my job for me.

But honestly guys, you can choose where to post, but posting here is the right thing to do. JC is for casual stuff, and sure, sex is a casual thing, but posting here prevents a lot of discomfort for certain users who want to change the subject. Not me, but certain ones...

what is going on in JC that has everyone so upset this time?
also, is it just me, or do people seem to b getting more and more sensitive on the site?

It was a conversation about sex. More about what kind of stimuli appeals to certain people or genders (Visual, written, spoken, etc.). Nothing explicit that I saw. Though, it did start with suggesting easy ways to get someone's boyfriend distracted long enough to end (unnecessary) arguments.
And no, not just you.

huh. well I don't really see the big deal then. I don't think that is a deep subject

I have absolutely no issues with it on this site, but as Scorprix said, it does belong more appropriately here than in JC. I don't know where this idea of me dictating forum rules came from, because I am only expressing my annoyance and making strong suggestions. If I actually had any forum power, then I could dictate things, but I don't so I can't.

The wording of your posts suggests that you're commanding people to post here.

I'm not seeing it at all, but maybe that's because I was not intending it as a command. Misinterpretation happens quite a lot with my words. Probably due to a difference in perspective.
ChiefBell says... #2
Thanks for posting Jex. It may be worth toning this down though. We'll have to see what happens.
