Default Anything goes forum

Self explanitory. Un-moderated so it won't be any more work for the mods. They're busy enough as it is. Put up a disclaimer before you enter the forum. Anything goes as in swearing, cussing, racial slurs etc. No kiddie porn is the one rule.

Long shot but worth a try.

Isn't there other forums for that? I personally wouldn't want to waste Derek's bandwidth for trivia bickering. Just my 2 cents.

yeah i remember that post but that was a flaming forum. This is anything goes.

dealforme i know there are other forums for that but I prefer this forum over any other one. People here seem a lot more intelligent than the other ones where it's purely kids horsing around.

Isn't that the same thing though?

It'd still be an un-moderated mess, and would cause more problems then it would fix.

Just imagine how many people would go in there to make racist,sexist comments, attack users, thread crap,etc etc.

If you want an un-moderated forum go to IRC.

It wouldn't be such a good idea, It may yet become like Computers-Canada, This is one of the reasons i dont deal there, lots of flaming, lowballing.. etc.. not very nice.. Id prefer it to be left the way it is.. otherwise selling or buying may become more difficult..

well my opinion..

I dont think Redflagdeals is the kind of place that needs an "anything goes', not many deals warrant trolls and threads to flame.

If anything, I wish the moderators to a stricter approach such as when they banned VD and suspended cummer.

Absolutely not! What happens when you do a search? You get tonnes of irrelevant and ill-mannered posts littering your search results.

I still think we should at least try this. Have a forum where it's UNMODERATED. The only rule is no racist or sexist remarks. Anything else is fair game.

But to keep sexist or racist comments out it would have to be moderated.

Didn't quite make it to the poll last time (I consider Aug the last time), and the time before, won't fly this time either I don't think. If people want to flame and bicker at stuff/people, they probably can go else where. There's no need to open another can of worm. The site is busy as it is

Why do we need a forum like this? It's just going to attract more trolling and bickering. If it's unmoderated, it's going to spread to the other forums, with people not knowing where to posts such threads and such.
