What do I mean by Fireproof?
I mean no fire, or more specifically, no flames.
a non-flaming thread.
I'd like to see if it would be okay to make a thread where people can post things without fear of being flamed, mocked, or presented with absurdly large pictures of shame, like the Ridley facepalm.
Why?
Because I believe that there are people on this forum who would like a place to express their views without being ridiculed because of poor debate skills, uncommon opinions, or even poor language skills. All too often have I seen threads whose OP's idea has become the object of ridicule, and anyone who WOULD support their idea would be too scared of being flamed themselves to say anything.
This is a FORUM. A place where people should feel free to post what they REALLY think, not what is "Safe" to say.
The Rules:
1: No Flaming, obviously. If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Also, if something is a matter of opinion, don't argue against it.
1a: You CAN, however, point out any FACTUAL mistakes the poster made.
For example, suppose somebody said: "Hyrule Temple should not be tournament banned".
You canNOT say "You don't know anything! Hyrule Temple is THE most unfair stage in the game, filled with opportunities for camping, a fight club, and a ridiculous size."
But you CAN say: "Actually, it's just called 'Temple'. Hyrule is just a title, like 'EagleLand' for 'Onett'."
Of course, most likely nobody WOULD say that last thing, but you get the picture. If somebody says anything FACTUALLY wrong, that's fine to point out. Otherwise, let them express their views.
2: Don't post anything here unless you're sure that it will be significantly flamed elsewhere. Although, if you already posted it elsewhere, with bad results, then feel free to re-post it here. This rule is actually more of a request, to avoid instances where people post simply to create the illusion of an idea that is unopposed.
3: There are no "N00B" ideas. I mean that the same way people say "There are no wrong answers". Feel free to say or support any idea.
4: This thread will NOT protect you from being banned. Abusive posts that would get you banned will not be tolerated here.
OKAY. Now that that's settled, I'd like to point out that this is not that thread. This is a thread to propose the idea.
If you would like this board to have such a fireproof thread, please say so.
I strongly support the idea, and I hope others agree with me.
