Arguments on the forum

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 was on the brink leaving the community forum again. Going to stay as I private message members. Also noticed more members are leaving or not active.

    When first on the forum members asked for my social media and to meet up. Had to leave. The reason I'd joined as had pen friends stopped writing to me via snail mail. Tried to give them my email address. I never had a final letter saying can't be in touch anymore. Something went wrong. They're are getting letters and not responding.

    Sometimes I take breaks and not using the forum after a certain time in the evening.
