Also every time there's a "troll" thread, it's like 5 pages of people going "omg troll"-which directly "feed"s it and makes it take off that much faster. Zipping it yourselves would fix your problems but apparently time and time again thats proven to be too difficult for a lot of you. inb4 'well UR responding!!!' yah one time out the past 10 that have skyrocketed into popularity thanks to relentless town crying such as the likes I see here. Anyway disagreeing is fun, highly recommend it. Stop being agreeable. Kumbaya is dull, embrace riling others up. Even if you actually agree, just disagree to see what happens. Test the strength of your communities.
Stay around long enough and I'm sure even you will remember a name or two. People here have either been here for years or have had pointless "discussion" about something and when you see the same poster names pop up over and over again it becomes easy to recognize names.

As to the OP I would loathe it if the general discussion section just became a negative echo chamber. I'd also would loathe it if it became the opposite. As I said in another thread at least a month ago the few things I tend to have problems with are either so niche or don't affect my enjoyment of the game to the point I feel the need to make a thread complaining about it. Though there have been times when I have made complaints people either A) have not taken me seriously or B ) they feel that my complaint would only dig into their playing of the marketboard. Or some other thing.

I do however feel the subsections at least the one I post a lot in and the few I occasionally lurk in aren't as bad as it is here. It would be nice if more people's opening responses weren't loaded the way many here tend to be. Or that their first response to some one else's reply wasn't loaded with such aggressiveness. It's not fun that both extremes have made it uncomfortable for those in the middle or who try to have an honest debate about various topics to even want to bring them up.

We probably wouldn't have so many threads commenting on the moderation, the perceived lack of it or the confusion about why certain posts or threads get delt with while others don't. Part of the problem I think is not enough people report threads that clearly were maid to just stir the pot. Or posts that also probably should be delt with. Then there are the times where it feels as a mass report wave happened out of spite. As I'd like to think that most are above reporting someone's post or thread just because they don't like a person. Yet there have been people who have openly expressed the wish for others to be permanently removed. Even if it's not entirely been stated as such.
