I think the Idea itself is good. But I dont think it's necessary for this forum . Most people(Mainly the Active Posters) Navigate around this forum through "View Active Topics." So the new "Experience" threads will be on Top for the most part, And It's Inevitable to come across if the title itself is interesting.

I dont see why we should be resorted to take these type of mesaures though. But we'll see where it goes.

Right but when you go to active topics, etc you can see thread title and below where its located. So if someone wishes to avoid experience threads altogether they could easily see where its located and what the content should be about.
I'm impartial to the situation, personally. But Some days I do just want to read up on experiences, others I'm looking for something that makes me think. The "Filter" it would create would help me out bunches

This is only necessary in a non-adult world. The world is real, we should deal with it that way. If people are so thin-skinned that they cannot disagree without going to pieces or without insulting the other persons....and so fence are all over the place, then count me out. How difficult is it to look at a broken brick in the sidewalk and simply walk around it???
C-

I am all up for that, if it will help keep the peace..I just wish people would just do as Caiyros said.."Just bypass the broken brick"..lol.

I figure there might always be some person who disagrees on way or another. But I say go for it.

Sadly, instead of bypassing the said "broken brick" people pick it up and throw it. Honestly, that is just human nature. I like the subforum idea as it would help keep all experiences together in a central location.

Any thread can lead to an argument, and any thread can lead to intelligent discussions. So unless you plan to have admins keeping on top of everything and suppressing any idea that comes up that goes outside the confines of the original topic (as it is immediately perceived..which can still even vary from person to person depending on the details) in some way, I think that - looking at it objectively - it would be useless in terms of succeeding with what you want out of this, regardless of what my personal opinion on the subject is.

It won't let me edit so I want to point this portion out ^
and clarify that, I did mean for this to apply to the basic idea you bring forward initially regarding separating experiences from other subject matter (I didn't lose sight of that), not only the idea of separating what you deem as intelligent/worthwhile discussions from what can turn into something you do not like. It just seemed this thread was developing into including that as well with the subsequent comments.

I think it's a good suggestion, but for those who don't always post where they should be posting I think a better solution is for all of us to be helpful to the authors of posts & make sure if the person has a question it gets answered! If a post does fill up with experiences rather than answers to make sure that the author receives the original information they were searching for.

personally i am against the idea. i just avoid the threads i do not wish to read. :thumbup:
