A backBACKroom or... something similar...

DA,
what you are aksing for has been asked for by many different people since the org began. you note that the org is a place for self restraint and self moderation and tolerance where people of various persuasions can get together and discuss things. but i think that if we were to create a back backroom, that would be getting rid of that exact self-moderation, that makes people come to the org in the first place. so you'd basically be creating an anti-org. and i know you want the punishments harsh for 'taking it outside' the back backroom, and that only proven members would be allowed to join, but i often see some people who argue rudely against each other in the backroom, also do it more subtly and with more emoticons in other places like the frontroom, so i think it would be difficult to just leave the animosity in the back backroom, and not 'take it outside.' eventually i fear, what would happen would be a strong backlash by the enforcers of the org, who would not only shut down the back backroom, but also the normal backroom if it got out of hand.

I'm all for this idea, but it'll prolly not happen again.

THere are places to go to rant and rave. .org is not and will not be one of them. As noted htis request comes up on a relatively regular basis, and, as noted, the end result will be the same.

The .org is primarily a gaming forum. The Backroom is tolerated only because it is a lightning rod for political and ideological energy emanating from the other boards of the .org.

So for a change, Backroomers, let us not assume that we are the center of TosaInu's universe and be content with the Backroom as it is.

I don't feel like my Org experience is lessened with the absence of an off-color forum or anything. Just saying if it somehow became available I'd partake for awhile until I got sick of the 'Viagra rewls!' and 'Cottage cheese pwns Squeez E Cheese!' threads.

I don't think so much flaming off furiosly can end up with dusty hands shaken.. That's irrational..

Byzantine Prince has some good post count by the way, does not he ?

I agree with keeping things tight..

If a forum like that was created, events that occurred within it would very quickly have ramifications for other forums.

Maybe. But you would end having to filter out 10 "Buy ch3@p v1@gr@ n0\/\/!1111!!11111!!" threads per every useful one.

The Tavern was only fairly recently split into Front/Back rooms .
It works as it is , why change it again ?

Well, I think a backbackroom, or an "outside" would be nice. I agree with Divinus on the whole "blow off some steam and then shake hands thing", but I see not everyone agrees with such a manly to discuss differences.

The Chat is pretty much unadultrated, though. If people used that more often, it could become the backbackroom.
