I was one of the major people responsible for the creation of the discussion forum and I wrote the rules for it. I am certainly aware of what I intended when I wrote those rules, and also what Rob intended when he created the forum.
To see what I'm talking about here are the last 10 posts in the "Oral... or sex" topic.
Please post if you think this is serious or meaningful discussion;
(also note that this is the topic that generated the various discussions on this issue, so it's the best example to use - it's the topic I don't think belongs in the discussion forum, and since it breaks the rules for all the other forums, should be locked or deleted).
Oral... Or sex
I went to the botanical gardens with my friend today and we juggled and it was really fun.
We also walked around and did an inspection of all the places that would be good to have a root (omg its like my dream to root someone in the tan).
This post doesn't directly pertain to the topic at hand, but I wanted to say it and I knew it didn't deserve its own thread (or does it? "Best places to root outside" sounds like a good one!).
Geez, one then the other, why pick?
Can't we just ban Fred? Matt, make it happen

Sounds like a plan.
Who is Fred?
Well, your name is under your avatar, not in your signature.

... What's your point?
As long as my name is clearly viewable, it doesn't matter where it is.
Just that I didn't see it, so I didn't know your name. No implied hate.

My bad.
It's cool, bro.
Now you can talk about trash and treasure as much as you like. I put it that those last 10 posts are not serious "discussion" and they're not on the topic being discussed, and one of the rules of the discussion topic is that the posts remain loosely on topic and that people explain their reasoning for any opinions or statements. I put it that there is almost no real discussion on the topic in that topic. In fact of 38 posts in the topic, there are 10 that actually express any kind of opinion on the topic and 28 that discuss whether it's an appropriate topic to discuss at all, or are about completely different issues altogether. I think it's important to read those 10 posts as well, to determine what level of "serious discussion" is taking place on the topic and how many of those people are actually following the rules and backing up their opinions with the reasons behind them - ie. discussing the issue, not just putting out one line statements.
Pretty simple question. Do you like oral more than sex, or sex more than oral? (Receiving ofc.)
Oral all the way
hahah, nick, I am a huge enthusiast and proponent of both options. I wish my enthusiasm was less in theory and more in practice.
Sex ftw.
yea, Super Smash Bros Brawl is great.
i think for some reason i like oral more in my mind than i do in practice, because i thinki love getting oral, but im disappointed everytime i do. yeah, i definitely believe thats partly related to the abilities of those few who have actually made the mistake of so gratifying me, but i think almost nothing sexual is as good in reality as you imagine it being in your head, even after you first experience it.
Oral is less... well... "messy." If you catch my drift. But I definitely like sex better. But I do love playing with a girl's hair...
if im super horny i want to staright pound someone, a girl...
but if im lazy as shit that day
a sweet Blow-J would own
only if i got to blow the fattiest load in her eye tho , only if.
Wow... w/e... floats your boat man... Wasn't looking for these types of destructive responses... In fact, I strongly discourage them.

Omg its so true.
If this were a men's topic, it would have been called, "Head or Sex."
You can't give females head?

Firstly I'd hardly call that post 'destructive'. Secondly, if you made this thread you're just asking for these sorts of responses and you'd be stupid to think you'd get otherwise. In fact I don't actually see what was wrong with this post in the context of this thread. He stated his preferences and just threw in a funny joke at the end.
Geez, one then the other, why pick?
So there are maybe 5 posts that are on the topic and are actually following the forum rules, and 33 that don't follow the forum rules. That's 13% pass, 87% fail. You could argue that the posts about whether the topic is an appropriate one to discuss or not are on topic and don't break the rules, but given that it's a discussion about whether the topic should be locked or not, I don't think they count in it's favour at all.
So mods, are you happy with a topic where only 13% of posts clearly follow the forum rules, or have the rules changed, and if so, are you going to update the discussion forum rules; perhaps to read; post about any topic at all, the only rule for this forum is that there are no rules? Perhaps you could change the name from "discussion" as well, as that's getting pretty misleading.
