The only thing I was confused about was why they were contributing to it themselves. lol

The "Gay Icon" thread developed in a far more mature manner than the "are you sexually attracted to ayu" thread. Even though a discussion about her being a gay icon is related to sexuality, it isn't directly about being sexually attracted to something. That spawns explanations and jokes about how she should grow a penis, etc., in order to be attracted to her, which is inappropriate and directly against the rules.

Well, so shouldn't we be really serious on the rules? I don't know why that thread that you talked about above seems to be appropriate, while the thread opener of this thread here is complaining why his thread got shut down...

Cause wasn't it straight out against the rules and something that would obviously get out of hand? I mean seriously, in other words, the thread was a "Would you **** Ayu?" discussion, literally. That's the only reason I was surprised that you guys actually posted in it.

I can't speak for the other mods, but I like posting in doomed threads anyway.

Why can't you guys just be cool? imo it shouldn't be completely black and white, because when there is no leeway at all, things become rigid. I think it's best to just try to use your best sense when going about things. If you think that it will be deleted, or considered for deletion right off the bat...then maybe think a little more about how you will form your thread, and perhaps make it a little different, ex. more subtle, or don't do it at all. So, say, instead of blatantly saying "Are you sexually attracted to Ayu", maybe you could say, "Would you date Ayu?" or "Would you consider Ayu as a potential partner?" As those would imply that a person would probably have to be sexually attracted to her to answer "Yes". Those threads would also probably have a lot of posts talking about how sexy Ayu is, and probably some slightly inappropriate ones...but even though those things may fall into the "inappropriate" category or be similar to other things...they aren't so in your face as to end up being spammy, or obviously against the rules. The mods have a pretty good system going, and they've always discussed things. They're smarter than people might think, and they do, at least I believe, understand that being complete nazis about everything, and saying "OH THAT is kinda similar to THIS, and THIS is against the rules, so we must INSTA-DELETE" isnt always the best way to go about things, especially when dealing with other people. Of course similar considerations come up between things that are similar, but say, that one borderline thread that has an infraction worthy post every 5 posts, compared to a similar borderline thread where everyone is being mature and the discussion is enriching...I mean...imo, the enriching thread shouldn't be trashed, because when nice things get trashed, we all just lose out. ...and I really think the tone that is set by the thread starter in the first post has A LOT to do with how people go about posting in your thread. So...basically...if you want to have a thread that might be slightly in the grey area of bending the rules: 1. Be smart about it. 2. Set a more formal tone for the thread. 3. Don't be so blatant and crude. 4. Make sure people don't have the chance to just say something simple like "YES I WOULD **** AYU." 5. Don't be stupid in your own thread. 6. Perhaps report posts you know will get people riled up before other people have a chance to get mad. 7. If the thread is getting out of hand or spammy, try to mediate it yourself if you don't want it trashed so badly...if it's impossible...and the members are being impossible, then oh well, at least you tried. DISCLAIMER: I am not supporting breaking the rules in any way. I only support the idea that sometimes, in some cases, threads that are a little more controversial can bring about some of the best discussion.

What sort of threads have been produced from controversial topics that had great discussions? I'd like to go through them even if they're old. I haven't really been here that long comparatively. xD lol
