Serious Discussions
Make it so that you have to join a specific group to see the forum, then give people the option to join the group only if they want. I know you can do it, I was nearly going to do it myself before I ditched.

Re: Serious Discussions
Maybe I'm dumb, but why? As it is currently, all you have to look at is the "Latest Post" thing.

Re: Serious Discussions
You mean giving the option to only be able to see certain parts of the forum that you choose? For example choosing only to see images videos then everything esle would not appear?

Re: Serious Discussions
No, I mean you have to request through an admin to even be able to see the serious discussions forum.
AKA: You cannot even SEE it otherwise.
It's very doable, I had nearly done it myself.

Re: Serious Discussions
What reason would there be for this....
I mean, if you dno't want to see it, don't look at it. I myself just ignore it because I usually derail the threads.

Re: Serious Discussions
Because there are a lot of people posting in there that don't understand the meaning of a 'serious discussion'.
Just take a look at a good half of the posts in there right now, it's obvious.
With an admin validation for it, you'd not only weed out the retards, but you'd benefit people like me who read things because they're bored and then get horribly offended by the retards.

Re: Serious Discussions
It might not be a terrible idea. There are people that get really geared up on certain topics and cat help but post when they see something even if they never intended to. And it wouldnt be terribly hard to ask for permision to see that part of the forum anyway.

Re: Serious Discussions
Why not have it so everyone can see the serious discussion forum and if it is found that one isn't able to stay serious for the discussion demote them to prevent them from seeing the forum.

Re: Serious Discussions
That would work too.
So remove my ability to see it, I don't care, does the same damned thing.

Re: Serious Discussions
I don't know, I still like Dusk's idea best of having to ask an admin to see the forum. It'd be better to only let the serious people see it through request and approval than to wait for someone to ruin a serious discussion by making some stupid comment to remove the privilege from them.
Re: Serious Discussions
I really don't want 50 different PMs from people asking to see the serious discussion forum, yet alone going through every single account and enabling permissions for them to see it. If you don't like what's in there, avoid it. If you can't avoid it, ask one of the administrators to remove it from your view.
"Within every world, there are cultures, within every culture, there are groups, within every group, there are leaders. These leaders are not truly chosen, they are destined, it is their fate to lead, and it is this fate that drives them. Souls yearn to be driven, they in themselves can not direct, however, these leaders are predetermined, by whatever means, to guide the wills and mend the errors of these wandering souls. A forest, cold, cured, flawless, meticulous, and fearful, what drives it, what keeps the balance? The inner beings of all the co-existant creatures swarm together, and every one is guided by another, in more a cycle, then a hierarchy. The eyes of a forest are always watching and guiding, yet the sun never sets on the forest, and it never shall." ~ The Chaos Theory
Re: Serious Discussions
I'm confused now. Did you disable Serious Discussions for all or did I lost privilege due to my posts?

Re: Serious Discussions
Personally, I think everyone should be able to see it, but only people who are given permission can post.
Of course, this would require the Admins and Mods to sift through tons of PMs, which is something I'm sure they do not want to do.
