The mods and posters are very friendly with each other and there is almost never conflict between two posters. In fact, it is about fifty-thousand times better than this board when it comes to friendliness. It works wonders. And theres ONE little board for it. Youre supposed to try and offend others and theyre supposed to try and offend you back, so its all in good fun. And if they dont wanna be offended ever, they can just stay on the main boards and be happy. Its not hostile or a bad idea, its just fun.
I don’t think it would work here. NFL is a diversion for many of the people who follow it, it seems, while FF is a way of life, so the characters of people who posted to the corresponding message boards would cause them take things differently. I’m sure it works fine on the NFL board, but I don’t think it would work here.

A lot of people are probably unfriendly lately, as well, because of the time of year and its stress, which includes final exams and research papers. However, the moderators, in case you haven’t noticed, frown on people when they flame.

I, for one, say what I think. I give people compliments when they say insightful things, and I offer criticisms of things that don’t seem particularly correct. I try my hardest, however, not to offend others, as that’s wrong.

People simply need to be considerate of others here and remember that it’s not their right to post here; it’s their privilege. If they abuse that privilege, they won’t last here very long. It’s a simple system, and it’s worked on these boards for many years. I don’t see any need to change it. If you disagree with it, then perhaps this is not the forum for you.

The idea of a spam forum has recently been discussed in this thread.
