I don't know about others, but I'm getting a little concerned that the arguments will put off new members.
Quite often people join and then disappear quite quickly.
I've been involved in these myself on occasion, so I'm not innocent.
However, maybe the mods could create a section where these potentially contentious threads could be placed that had a heading like NSFW (a new one on me but it seems to be well known).
If a seemingly innocuous thread then turns into a constant argument, perhaps it could be moved to there.
It's sometimes interraction between older males and older females (or non binary etc) and comes down to very different relationship/*ex points of view but can of course stem from any subject and any set of contributors.
I think it happens more often than it once did, and I've not been here a year yet.
I've only just joined but I was in two minds about whether to stay or not because the first post I read had just been locked by one of the site Mods, who is also a new moderator I have since found out.
It's a real put off when you see arguments and hostility online especially if you're trying to escape those things in your actual day to day life.
I'm hoping though this isn't a frequent thing happening here otherwise I will probably leave because I get enough drama in my life without it happening here as well.
I hope this will make you smile instead. We are nice people, don't leave just yet!
I like to think of it as an autistic strength. but it does require a certain level of civility to avoid things blowing up
