How many levels and how much more work can we expect to demand from SB? Well, there wont be much more added Mod work if everything goes like some want but looks like there is still large contingent thinking there should be at least some separation between General area and new Opt-In Forum/s.
I ask though that where would us prunes with virgin ears go to discuss if the opt-in areas were free-for-all wild west? I wish to chat too but I dont want to hear smut and I dont want to be attacked. I especially dislike the idea of being attacked by a mob who already has an idea what they-all think is right and will do it that way anyway allowed or not. So there needs to be a clear ruling, so one knows to stay out if not wanted. Will us thin-skinned snobs and mommas boys be unfairly treated and not offered this marvelous free reign to discuss non-diving topics too? How unfair! Wed have to sit trembling on the side-lines because we know all the fun is happening out there - but go in and you can expect to be called by your body parts or worse if you say the wrong thing. (See example above, how long it took from my first post in this thread for OP to attack me just for disagreeing). I can choose to not get offended but in most cases I would choose not to participate. I certainly would not participate in cuss competitions.
So SB is making the value choice here, either to offer wider discussion options for those who enjoy it one way or the other way. Cant have it both because you will exclude or limit one group's freedom or enjoyment one way or another. SB needs to make a decision as to what kind of board it wants to be or continue to be. Also how many layers of moderation can SB reasonably maintain both credibility-wise and practically. At this point I am not even aware how far is the discussion about adding this more of a non-diving/discussion type of area? There was a chat function added some time ago but every time I look that area is empty. How is moderation arranged in there?
