you speak of maturity and respect with a sig like that?

Not really sure where your sig comes from or what drove it, but the irony of that sig and your post compelled me to post.

Anyway, as far as the "real world" goes. I have a great job, I have a great trade, I have a great house with 2 great kids, healthy and happy. My marriage is getting better after a few years of rocky times, but hey we survived it. Not really sure what is going on in your "real world", but in mine, I have little complaints. I don't need "good luck". Luck is not "real world". In fact, if you are banking on luck to see you through your " real world" well all I can tell ya is, good luck.
HEY. There's only one person who knows about the real world in this forum. And that's me.

On a serious note, these are the kinds of posts killing DST.

. . . and these kinds of posts are killing bf2s.com

Also, maybe the poster should specify if they want the debate to include opinions or just factual statements as arguments... that would probably help.

The irony that fills your post is killing me...

My sig comes from the fact all 3 of you have mentioned the "real world" to me. Yet can't seem to act like they can handle the simple domain that is an internet forum. I genuinly hope you do have a good life. As well as ATG, and G@LT. And by saying good luck to you, I am saying I hope no "bad luck" falls upon you. Some things in "life" ARE out of your control Lowing.

Just in case you missed the point, it is the real world that is "real", in my case, my real world, and it is the internet that is fantasy or illusion, anything but "real world".

So nothing you say can be taken seriously then. OK. My point still stands.

If you don't want to take what I say seriously that is up to you. It changes nothing of how or what I feel or hold as an opinion in my "real world"

This personalisation of discussion is what kills threads.

Definitely move to moderate any discussion that moves towards personal discussion between posters, whether it be of critical or complimentary nature, though the former definitely fuels a dozen pages of crap, whereas the latter is usually one post. If you have issues, take it to PMs, or EE.

Frankly, noone wants or cares to read that kind of crap.

Sure, when something happens that goes against what I have experienced, or read about on a damn daily basis.

How about implementing rules like people not being allowed to address other members, just their arguments?

Yesss... but I don't mean a feature, All I mean is that people should treat each member equally, not bring outside quarrels in, and only address their arguments. In other words, this would prevent derailing.

I'd like to see D&ST divided into subsections. Politics. Science. Religion. And a Misc/Other.

Keeps threads in better order and you know what to expect. Some people might only head to the science section and avoid the other shit, if they so choose.

Here's an example.

Lets say a user posts this : Well, we have no resources to fix that spill...
Instead of someone saying : Well you didn't live in the area and are only twelve, so you have no say
They would only be allowed to debate the statement like this: Actually, we already have several resources in place and they are etc.

Thats kinda what I mean ^^^^^

Ignoring the insult, dividing DST into a series of sub-forums might be a great idea. Or even a space for serious polls.

Keep it as it is, dividing it up wouldn't change people's behaviour.

Maybe an auto-close feature after 20 pages, 50 if its a lowing thread.

Subsections would increase posting. If someone has eight debate topics, their not gonna put them all in DST because they'd be called a spammer, or take away from the other arguments. But if there were seperate sections, that person could put one or two per section and they wouldn't clutter up anything.
