Moderation suggestion: the obligatory Murphy topics

<< < (2/3) > >>

Priscellie:
I don't think a decreased shelf life will have any effect, but here's one potential direction:


The petty sniping in Murphy-related topics of late is unbecoming of the high standards of discourse expected of this forum.  Remember that civility to your fellow posters is expected at all times.  Murphy has become a very divisive character on this board, and while everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, expecting everyone else to conform to your opinion through the power of your rhetoric is futile.

Remember, guys, it's okay to disagree.  If you've represented yourself in a convincing way, but it doesn't look like another member is ever going to come around to your side, LET IT GO, find something else to discuss, and DON'T carry animosity towards those who think differently across to other parts of the forum.  We're all here because we dig Jim's works, and differences of interpretation are not worth the forum drama they're currently receiving.

Don't let this be you:

Mith:
I was thinking to do so it's not 5 different topics on the same thing on the boards, rather than 5 or 6 different threads.

...Huh?

Quantus:
I thiiink Mith was trying to say it would still consolidate all the various flavors of Murphy debate into a single stickied location (Serack's Benefit A) even if the shorter roll-over time (Serack's benefit B) wouldnt gain as much.  That it Mith?

Ill add that the B option, along with the suggested link to previous iteration in the OP Block, would provide both continuity for the discussion and the ability to bow out of the conversation at certain intervals if it moves past your interest.  As somebody that uses the "Show New Replies to your Posts" feature, the latter one would be especially nice. 

Priscellie:
I think that treating the Murphy-related topics differently by the mods gives the message that Murphy should be treated differently by the members.  Like they have license to be less civil.  Far from it.  Breaking the forum's respect rules is just as serious an infraction when Murphy is involved as when she isn't, and the mods will respond accordingly.  If posters can't treat each other like human beings, they can spend the first chunk of the time after Skin Game is released in Time Out.
