Should DU have a flame room?

Where folks can go and flame each other after they've been booted out of the lounge. DU can get donations up by making it a "Donating members only" feature. Cause I know people would pay money to read those! BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD!!!!!

1. Might Save A Lot Of Time

But I wonder about the costs of Server Space, Bandwidth and Software Modifications to wonder if it's practial.

Besides, the primaries and elections are coming up; tempers, usage and freepers will come to a peak and I think the Admins and Mods are more concerned with that and their budget.

Somehow, I don't think Skinner would allow a budget deficit even if he were in a position to ask for 87 Billion.

2. No, I don't think so.

If they want to keep spitting at one another let them take it private or suck it up and drive on.

I'm not in favour of putting the onus on DU's hard-earned bandwidth just so people can be pissy with one another.

4. What does it take to get booted out of the Lounge?

Wow, I didn't realise there were things like rules. I hope I haven't been breaking any...

6. whoa calm down

You've been in Bush land too long! You can break em here!

No seriously, show any sign of seriousness and get kicked out. And just be nice and even when arguing be civil and you've pretty well obeyed the rules.

8. All that kind of goes without saying...

And I of course try to follow the general forum guidelines. And even if I got kicked out, I don't think it would break my heart or anything. I read more here than post anyway...

5. How about a grumpy room, yeah, I kinda like that.

Where one can go and be grumpy and pissy at everything and nothing all at the same time.

9. NO!

I like the way they pop up randomly all over the place - reminds me of the fire swamp part from The Princess Bride.

just watch your step, and go round 'em.
