Default CnM (the anti-RnF)

I am wanna propose CnM (Cookies an' Milk) forum. Would be opp'site of RnF forum. 'Steada postin' only mean an' yucky stuffs, can only posts NICE AN' HELPFUL STUFFS! Current CnM-type threads are ones like "tanks TMO fer SK shield!" an' "grat'lations (happy clerics) on epics!" an' stuffs like dat. Would also be good place to post threads dat is come up ev'ry coupla days like "help pease, need rez in x zone!" or "soan'so has a fully geared corpse about to rot in zone y!" or "newbie player has question". I am tinks mebbe lotsa folks who would likes to helps is not never sees dese posts cuz not visits dese forums no more.

In all seriousness, something like this might not be the worst idea. I find visiting these forums incredibly disheartening. When I talked to Wiggles about my reasons for wanting to leave p99, he said that if he could, he'd petition to have my IP banned from these forums. (Wiggles soso clever notagnome.) In trying to keep informed about the Ragefire situation, I spent more time on these forums in the past few weeks than in the previous two years. The result? I saw far more than I ever wanted to of players treating each other (and the staff) horribly. It made me lose faith in both the state and future of the community, which I'm pretty sure wouldn't have happened had I just stayed in Norrath and avoided these forums. I appreciate that RnF exists for those who enjoy that or feel it's necessary, but many of the threads in "Server Chat" and even "Guild Discussion" are pretty RnFish in and of themselves.

I post this with the knowledge that it will likely be met with derision and end up in RnF itself. My toon is a 6 year old, but I am an adult. I'll survive. [You must be logged in to view images.

We're not all about the bad here. I'd go so far as to say that -all forums- that aren't RnF should be like the forum you've proposed. We should be treating each other with respect here, or at the very least, we should be able to be civilized, if only through clenched teeth.

Not going to point any fingers, but there are at least two guilds who need to stop dragging the rest of the forum down with them. Is it too much to ask that you guys keep it in RnF if you feel the need to deride each other all day long?

I've been wanting to see a separate forum/IRC channel where crappy behavior is immediately banned.

In all honesty, I don't understand why that kind of behavior is tolerated anywhere. In-game, IRC, RnF, whatever.
