    You mean the hivemind that downvotes into oblivion any opinion different from the majority? Yes, great discussion there.

    Depends on the /r/ you're in. Get out of /r/politics!
    If it bores you so much, why are you not making an effort to change that rather than trying to exacerbate things?
    It's hard to create content for a board that is for "everything that is ¬Backroom material" that isn't rather frivolous.
    If you really have a problem with the Babe Thread, then bring it up here; were a consensus reached among Orgahs, I would gladly see to it that it's unstickied/locked/deleted. If there's content/changes that you'd like to see, then this is the place to bring them up if you don't want to approach the respective Moderators/Content Managers privately.
    I personally dislike it. If I wanted a daily dose of softcore, I'd buy the Sun.

    For what it's worth, I kinda agree that philosphy has a place in the FR. There's nothing political or potentially offensive about let's say comparing empiricism with rationalism

    It might indeed make the FR a more interesting place.

    acin, I agree with you that the Frontroom can get boring for long stretches, but that's what it is, and it's always been like that. Same thing with the Backroom and the Gameroom. The Backroom especially has lost my interest, basically because we talk about the same topics over and over again.

    But you can't force quality material to happen (remember that awful troll thread you made? ), it has to happen organically.

    And you have to be willing to take the warnings. The different point of view threads we had a while back got me my first warning point ever! Me! But it was justified. And the crime was worth the warning point.

    Banned from the Babe Thread, life just isn't fair. However, it isn't for ever so despair not.

    We can ban people from specific threads? Cool.
