Suggestion: Free for all forum

And it would be fun to see if anyone else's behavior would too, under a different set of rules. (A bit of a moot point now, but just trying to get back to answer people.)

And I ask you once again, because you seem to have ignored or otherwise missed this the first time : what, under the current Rule System, prevented any of this from happening? What do you perceive caused the ZLW thread to proceed the way it did? And I don't mean "well, duh, the rules here", I mean, give me specifics. What about THE RULES HERE prevented people from ignoring ZLW and saying "meh, he's trolling, back to the issue"?
What about THE RULES HERE caused you to act a certain way, and in what way would you personally have posted differently if there were No Rules Here? What would you personally have posted if there were No Rules Here?

It shouldn't be that difficult a question - I'm asking you what YOU would do and what YOU would've done, and how YOU perceive the rules affected the thread, not some amorphous "someone maybe somewhere." If you have an idea in mind that the rules prevented you from saying / doing / posting something, then I want to know exactly what you would've said / posted / done in your proposed "No Holds Barred" forum.

I don't care. Honestly, Pencil, I in no way intend that as a slight toward you, but I spent a decent chunk of time asking that same question of roo, and I don't think she knows the 'why' behind the way she feels; she just feels it. Reasons, actual reasons, are invented on the fly.

:shakes head: No, no, DogMom. The Roous Domesticus does not respond well to confrontation. It tends to evade, accuse and look for alternative scapegoats rather than engage in active discussion of its own behavior. This is never about the Roo. Let us not forget that. It's about the way everyone else is behaving which causes the Roo such consternation.

[Who_me?]

Hey guys, let's create a forum where we can post whatever we like... just like in the Box, except we won't lock anyone in there.

If you think *your* behavior would change under a different forum environment, I will again suggest, even urge, you to try out starting some threads in the Box. Forget any stigma the forum might have. Forget whether it might bring people in who would then post in a different thread. It is a wide-open area with as few rules as you will get. If a staff member posts in your thread, they will be posting as a poster, not as someone telling you what you can and can't do. Forget about the previous almosts and non-guarantees; the staff has spelled out that while they are posting as posters, they will not bring rules into it. Heck, having a staff member post in your thread is a guarantee that they will not invoke rules on you - when that happens, another mod has to step in.

Try out your thought experiment. See how your behavior is in a wide-open forum. See how other people's behavior is. Go kick up your heels.

Except you've been given several testimonials from others here that, by and large, no one else's behaviour would change. Just yours, and maybe Ichigo's. And, FYI, Ichigo said she'd look into the Box, as per our suggestions.

If you're not willing to try the suggestions of a large contingent of active posters and moderators here, then how can you expect us take your issue seriously? We're providing solutions for your perceived problem. You're turning them down without providing solid reasons for it.

Let me make two requests. Please fulfill at least one of them.

1) You said you know your behaviour would change in your proposed forum. Please post here, in this thread, an example of your changed behaviour. Pretend you're responding to a past thread, if necessary. If you're worried that you will somehow get in trouble for it, because of these nebulously restricting rules here, I'll even volunteer to take the blame for it.

2) Please describe exactly what rules, specifically, are holding you back and how. You've been asked this several times by several posters. Try working with us, here.

You're pleading with god about my posting on a message board? After you've repeatedly noted about how you have me on ignore?

If it gets you this upset, it's OK not to post to me, and to not click on the thread.

Believe it or not, I'm trying to help, in the hopes that I won't have to ignore you any longer. Be you gone, or finally happy with posting here, as long as you're no longer posting these bullshit suggestion threads and concerns, I'll be happy.

Well, it would be something that wouldn't happen in the proposed forum.

As for your quoted post, one you link to often, I hope you realize that it was tongue-in-cheek hyperbole. I think other people realize that. Your posts are often filled with hyperbole. I'd think you could recognize it in other people's posts.

That said, I did think there was quite a lot of mod action that day, the first day the mods were initiated. But I wasn't fearful about it.

I'll take your word for this, but I'm not really sure about it. I seem to remember a time when Giraffe didn't get around to crafting a set of rules. I don't know the time frames, though.

That's just untrue. I didn't complain about the change.

There was a time where there were no rules expressly codified, but Giraffe stated very early what he expected.

For an example, here's a thread about mods started on March 2, 2009, pretty much at the start of things. So, apparently pretty much from teh get go, there were to be moderators, and rulz.

What wouldn't happen?

The disruption itself wouldn't happen? If the disruption wouldn't happen, explain why not.

Or are you saying the disruptors wouldn't be asked to leave? Because if that's the case, then I have two questions: one, if any thread could legally be hijacked to hell and back without repercussions, why would anybody choose to post any discussion there? And two, isn't this what already happens in the Box?

[Mako]

Christ. 4 pages?

This is a board where I could post a video of me shitting in Ann Coulter's moist, trembling mouth, (and I will if you're all not careful) and get away with it. I've been on the net since 1993 and have never been part of a more welcoming, permissive and liberal community than this.

Except the newsgroups. Yeah. To be fair, there's some stuff there I'm not proud of.

Roo - seriously - what is it that you want to say or post here that you think you can't? Or is this a post-count land-grab?

If that's the case, and I don't agree that it is, is it more honest of you to create a sentence I didn't say and asked me to provide cites for it?

How do I expect it to be?

That's an interesting example. I asked why a couple of threads were closed. I got a lot of push-back and told that "administrative" thread closings needed to take place.

But now it's standard practice here that threads are not closed. If it was going to be standard practice anyway, why all the upset that I brought a couple to their attention?

Fenris thought it was such a good idea that thread closings are not done here that he suggested it over on the SDMB. While I think it was a good idea at GB, I disagree with him that it would be a good idea at the SDMB. They have a lot of different competing interests to consider there.

You always have the option to take it to the Pit, if you choose.

Perhaps. And I've actually thought about that quite a bit.

After the Roo Pit threads a while back, I did wonder if all the people expressing their unhappiness would start posting more and if more people would join them.

You and FoN noted earlier in the thread that I posted in a way that you thought was suitable to your liking as to what people should post in the forum, and that I had done it for some amount of time:

But now Roo is concerned. Again.

And yet, during that time, I didn't see an increase in active member count or post count. There were over 300 active members (including socks dropping off) who left since March. Since the active member stats reflect the previous 30 days' activity, I watched the activity daily from April 23 onward. There was a drop of between 0 and 22 members every day during that time. There were a couple level days and 1 or 2 days with an increase of 1 or 2 with socks for the sock mafia until the last couple days, which showed an increase. And the post count in the past couple weeks has been roughly half of what it was last June.

The change in my activity (based on what you and FoN think is acceptable) didn't seem to bring an increase in the activity level or the amount of posters joining, or even the amount not leaving.

[Fish]

So your solution is to advocate that we continue to remove rules until membership increases? And if membership doesn't increase, we remove more rules?

[Metallic Squink]

And why do we need more members? I'm not saying they are not welcome but I didn't realize we were actively trying to increase the membership here. Also, there is no evidence that the reason people "left" is because of the rules. It's possible many people signed up for something new and shiny and then decided they just didn't have time for it or whatever. I don't recall anyone leaving in a huff over the rules.

1. Why did you watch the activity daily from April 23 onward? To what end this bizarre data collection?

2. Seriously, this (see #1 above) is really how you want to spend your precious time on this earth and you don't see anything weird or wrong with it? Really?

Yeah, that's more than a little disturbing. If the board dies, it dies. If it thrives, it thrives. It could maintain this exact level for infinity. What does it matter?

I'm just confused. At other times Roo has argued that in the absence of rules, social approbation chills free speech and Lord of the Flies type mob rule stops people from speaking freely. So I'm now not sure whether it's rules or the absence thereof - or even both - which she perceives as discouraging membership and/or participation here.

I don't know whether I'm for or against what she's proposing because I don't know what the hell it is. As far as I can tell, it's a forum along the lines of Something Awful's BYOB, but attempts to clarify that get met with waffle.

Someone needs to invent a Babelfish app to translate Roo-speak into plain English.

[hroark2112]

I don't mean to be direct, Roo. Please accept my most heartfelt apologies in advance.

I have a simple request of you. If you have the courage to reply exactly how I ask, you might be received on this issue differently than you have been so far. My request is simple, and it is a 2 step request:

1. Quote my post without commentary or any editorial, just quote it
2. Provide an example of the type of post you're wanting for this new forum of yours. Start with the thread title, and then write the post.

You can feel free to explain why this post would not be welcome or permitted in any other forum and why we should have a new forum for this kind of posting.

Now...do you have the courage or even the ability to respond? I doubt it, and I won't hold my breath...but please give it a shot!

Wait, are people asking Roo serious specific questions and actually expecting useful answers? Roo, whose responses to questions make Alberto "I don't recall" Gonzales look like a model of memory, clarity and details?

I'd settle for a link to the kind of free for all forum she has in mind. There are a shitload of messageboards which have at least one unmoderated forum, so it shouldn't be that hard to link to an example.

On some messageboards those forums are active enough to stand alone and have a core membership which rarely posts outside their "home" forum. On others, there's not enough activity to keep the regulars amused and so there's a lot of bleed-through to other forums. So the specific kind of no holds barred forum Roo envisages is pretty relevant here.

Right now her proposal sounds like "I want to conduct a social experiment for my own amusement and see whether changing the rules here changes board culture for better or worse - and I want more posters cos this place bores me".

I was thinking more along the lines of:

"I want my own personal sandbox full of people who like me, and we play games and post fun stuff all day and it's always someone's birthday and I get the corner piece of cake and there are slides and a clown who makes balloon animals and it never rains and I never have to take a bath or brush my hair or do homework EVER YAY!"

I get the feeling Roo and Pippi Longstocking would get along fabulously until Pippi got tired of Roo's passive-aggressive garbage and marooned her on a desert island her pirate father had cleared of scorpions just for her.

[Chacoguy]

Those poor homeless scorpions!!!

That IS concerning.

If a happy funtime place is all she wants, then her request that it be unmoderated and that there be a guarantee people wouldn't be banned for participating in it makes no sense.

Her initial request definitely came across to me as for something similar to the old-school SDMB Pit, but with fewer rules.

[nonny too]

You've raised the issue of feeling uncomfortable about taking on the mods here. Do you genuinely believe that if you were to respond in kind to the comments which Fenris or Veb have directed your way in this thread that anything "worse" than you being asked to take it to the Pit or the Box would happen?

Your extreme concern about the possibility of being Boxed or banned seems irrational to me and your request for a free for all forum seems partly to come from a wish to post without fear of sanctions.

Any one of us could be Boxed or banned for what we post here, but I don't think that many of us fear it to any great extent. Clearly, you do fear it and I'm trying to understand why you fear it so much and why you need the rules to be so rigid, detailed and inflexible when so many of us regard the rules as little more than guidelines and post without that fear.

Could you explain that please?

What exactly am I disrupting? I see you posting in a thread set up by a sock to mock this thread. Is that taking you away from something else that you wanted to be posting? Or did you feel compelled to post in this thread, and that's what's so disruptive?

And what do you mean by "concerned poster"? What am I supposed to be concerned about? Victor started the concern troll meme. Here's the definition I think works in this context:

A phrase of absolutely no meaning, used by bloggers to shut down debate on their sites.

What do you think it means when you're using it?

Her initial request definitely came across to me as for something similar to the old-school SDMB Pit, but with fewer rules.

She wants a place where there are no rules aside from the basic ones and where people can play games (like the one where instead of people like me posting funny or at least bizarre one-line responses to things, we'd be posting for the sake of having the last post in every thread on the first page of a forum) and basically do anything they want without fear of someone stepping in and saying, for example, that there's going to be a new rule for a certain poster because she's pissing everybody off because her posting style is battier than a cave in winter.

The fun is that she hasn't specified (that I've seen, at least) how this would be different from what happens in, for example, the Box. I believe this has already been covered, but it bears repeating. She wants something new but won't say what's wrong with what we have. She's like the kid who wants a new, fancy jungle gym but isn't saying what's wrong with the current fancy jungle gym.

I don't feel like you summarize in your point 1 and I don't want what you summarize in your point 2.

In fact, I'm not proposing any changes to the board as a whole. I'm was just suggesting adding another forum. Nothing else would change.

And that thread is going exactly as I envisioned. The only thing is that it's still in the Box so it still has the constraint of the general rules to it.

If you will tell me what it is that is going to attract Mod attention, that will cause a rules violation, or whatever it is that you're most concerned about, I'll go post it in there right now. And we can all SEE what will happen.
