I think if someone feels the need for a forum to be a completely rude asshole, they probably need to grow up a little.
Sometimes people are offended and feel the need to attack. If that's what they feel, that's fine. If you disagree, that's fine.

A free-fire zone will only work if anyone who wades in (including mods, mentors, chairman) realize they are subject to the same rules, which there are none. Feel free to post, but don't bitch or hold a grudge after you get your sensibilities hurt.
Which is why, I think, the idea will never work as intended.

I think the antics of this forum today are well contained and do not contaminate the other more serious forums like the AAS one. At times they have, but mods quickly step in and let people know that is a big no no. The same would apply to the no holds barred version of Chat. Expectations of behavior must still be set.
repost from another thread..
think there should be. I don't think it will be high traffic, but I think it will be the place to move any thread that isn't following the new, nice, rules.
The big issue is, there still has to be some rules and order there. Mainly, you gotta protect the sponsors. If you look at it, you basically need to not violate that rule and you'll be set. You mess with the revenue stream of EF and you are on thin ice immediately (if you are even allowed to stay). "wasting mods time" now falls into that category really. EF doesn't want its prime time players like AAP wasting time slapping fools on the wrist when he can be doing more profitable mod duties (although who knows what that entails, maybe that's why he's never the one to slap a fool down unless they are deliberately an obnoxious tool).
I think this forum can be improved by removing the talk of religion and politics. I am probably the biggest religion talker her, and I realize that for many, its offensive. Its the unfortunate truth.
Imagine you own this site, you want people to come here, like it, see the sponsors ads, maybe become a new purchaser of some supplements, even a training program, turn your physique around.
Are you likely to do that if you pop in Chat and Conversation and the threads you are are all hateful shit, talking derogatory about your faith? Or about a politician you support and favor? How about shit threads? I have to say I agree with Spellwin, who really wants to read about bowel movements? There could be a rare humorous niche somewhere, but in general, it just doesn't give of the impression you want here. You want people to trust and relate to the place, not think its childish and immature.
The personal attacks too do the same thing. It makes the place seem hostile. You want a place where two bros like us can start a e-book club and discuss books, and not have some douchebag trolling in talking shit just disrupting two paying memebers using the site as it is intended, to build an online community of diverse and knowlegable people who share at least a minor interest in fitness in common with each other.

I juat want a forum upgrade that brings back the peeps that left
CM, Bluebird, Silverstar, MyWay, Blue, Road Warrior... I thought these peeps had great takes and fun threads... new here relatively, but miss them.
As far as shit talking goes, yeah I love watching a little of it, no doubt about it, but it gets old if thats the substance of the forum, like a couple of weeks ago when shit was kinda stale here, and everybody was gettting a little annoyed, and it seemed like the pettyness rose and lame shit talking rose, not even good shit talking, but the usual yeah... u love cawk type statements were more prevalent, I thought that blew... just me though, plus I suck at talking shit so thunderdome chat not for me.

I am sure no ones going to go playing in the forum that dose not know this. Of course here would have to be (a light set of rules).
I mean lets face it even my old flam board had some rules. Not many but some.
