Any interest in a Private EE Pro Forum, just to talk about the Dots and not this other sh.....stuff?

I am willing to fund this if there is interest.

I enjoy good natured smack talk, rankings, pro bowl talk, and dot/football talk. EE Pro seems to be lacking in this area. I haven't been around here long so I wonder whether it is a few people that are preventing this type of discussion from happening?

Self moderation is always better than a mod having to deal with things. Quality work also goes into a place where quality work is appreciated.

There was a study over here in Europe about how if there is graffiti or trash on the ground, that people are more likely to commit crimes or throw more trash on the ground, so a bad environment creates a bad environment.

As always I am pro a good environment.

Oh stfu. I've been to Europe three times and it's the same shit as anywhere else - especially in France.

I didnt say that it wasnt .. I said that bad promotes worse.

Duff Man, your idea is a good one, but I think we have to learn to police ourselves in a public forum. A private forum would be easier, but it would not solve the problem. I think we need to work this out ourselves.

That works when you have rational people who want to contribute and police themselves, when you have people, or a group of people whose attitude is

Then explain why Nothern NJ doesn't have higher crime rates than Southern NJ, even if you remove Cameen from the equation?

Because it isnt a macrosocial effect?

Then how is a clean place inducing a drop in crime?

ZING!

this is pretty much at the heart of the theory of broken windows http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixing_Broken_Windows

I think that it'd be a great idea. If you could just make sure the Commissioner Randy pops his head out into the public forum to announce his intentions and rule changes to us, that'd be great.

Im in for the private forum... I really dont have the time to comb thru ALL the crap for the info or exchanges Im looking for... Send me an invite.

I would be in for a private forum as long as you dont let the mouth breathers in.

It sounds like a bunch of elitists can't deal with society. One of the fundamental flaws of the internet. People don't develop social skills because they can't deal with people who don't exactly fit their idea of social aptitude, so they just leave. This is a learning opportunity, and all you guys can do is emo out and try to run away. Face the rabble and try to learn to become a member of a functional society, rather than create your own. You will never be happy if you run away every time someone does something you find distasteful.

I'm calling them like I see them.

No the group of people that can deal with society are choosing to let the ones who can't deal with other people to deal with themselves.
