Why is the postcount even there?
Just to hyjinx the thread for a moment, I'd like to point out that one of the members is being a royal prick at the moment, and that a certain other member's "joking around" is/was making it difficult to have a discussion. They aren't the only ones either, there've been several others just generally messing around. I would like to know why the moderators don't really do anything about this kind of behaviour until it descends into total anarchy, at which point they swoop in to close the thread. It seems there's been a hell of a lot of "slack" lately and people are just doing whatever the hell they want - and they're getting away with it.
I don't mind people having the odd joke or expressing their disapproval of another member's behavior once in a while, but what's the point if it's all they ever do? I'm not seeing much other than disruptive behaviour coming from these people, so you basically have a pack of trolls set loose, free to do however they please here. It's making it at worst impossible and at best unpleasant for the people who just want to have civilised discussions. There's been an unusually high number of thread closings lately, suggesting that this kind of thing has been getting more common.
Could we have a serious discussion subforum or something? Just somewhere we can have discussions and debates without jokers and pricks screwing things up would be nice. Or at least can the moderators be more active in enforcing the rules. Less spam and jokey crap and more content would be good.
