Before I begin, I'd like to make a few things clear:
Yes, I've visited the OT forum.
Yes, I've discovered what sort of discussions they have.
Yes, this has PROBABLY been oversuggested, but for good reason.
And yes, I have a fairly reasonable... reason for posting this thread.
Having said that, just move your fingers away from your keyboard, relax, and read the following context before you make any decisions. Just take a moment to see this from my perspective. _______________________________________________________________________
Truthfully, I believe that OT should be removed. Why? Because it's meaningless, and inappropriate. This sick, twisted forum contains nearly nothing but the following:
-Trolls -P3rvs -Flame wars -Debates/Arguements -Profanity
Only a few threads that are located in that forum are not categorized in any of the above, and I'm sure those can be located in another forum. This website is supposed to be kid-friendly, and this forum doesn't necessarily fit that caption.
Continuation of the 'kid-friendly' topic: Say, a little before - around the age of 7, or 8 - discovered this forum. He would scroll through this list, view the morbid, appalling threads, and, perhaps, post on a few of them. Then the parents come. They may someway somehow discover what their child has posted on, and be horrified. Results may vary, although I assume some may prohibit ROBLOX from that day forward. ROBLOX would lose business. As far as I know, the above example may have already occurred. Who knows. I don't. But I'm just listing possibilities, and awful ones at that.
One other reason: Less moderation, and temperance of the forums for the mods. Of course they will be thoroughly at work all day, but this may slightly ease their responsibilities. Besides, if I'm not mistakened, OT is the worst - or one of the worse - forums, judging from its content it embraces. _______________________________________________________________________
I know it's not much, but I don't believe there's anything left to say. I know I'm not experienced. I'll admit, I'm vaguely familiar with the forums, but I have enough knowledge on OT to make this thread.
~Now, what do you think of this? |

@Frittle,
It will take more than a minute or so to fully understand what goes on in that forum... Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it takes a mere minute to understand. =/ |

"Debates/Arguements"
Arguments*
;D
You mean BAD debates/arguments, right? Because debating is actually quite a good thing, if done correct. :)
"Results may vary"
I love how you said that. x)
Anyways,
Support. ;D

@Frittle,
Read my post above.
Besides, I said 'nearly' in my first post, meaning not all, but the majority. (Or, at least, half. Again, I'm not fully experienced.) |

@Virtual,
Thank you for that correction, and yes. Bad debates/arguments, such as religious debates. Those ALWAYS result in flame wars. |

@Congent,
Younger inexperienced players don't know the risks. Besides, OT isn't meant for such inappropriate discussions, yet that's the form it's used in. |

| Could result in rage-quit. Then again, the rage-quitters wouldn't be much of a loss to the ROBLOX community. Half-support |

| I suppose. OT are usually filled with p3rv5. There ARE pony stories on there, but they're usually very VERY dirty. |

"-Trolls -P3rvs -Flame wars -Debates/Arguements -Profanity"
Yeah.
Everything except P3rvs is in S&I too.
So, spend about 3 months there then come back and try again sir. |

"around the age of 7, or 8"
You have to be 13 to use the forum.
Sir, learn your rules then come back. |

@thegroundbefore you,
Your second to last post:
There are more responsible S&Iers than there are OTers. It's true that there may be profanity, etc. on S&I, but it's nowhere near as terrible as OT.
It's been proven. I don't spend too long on OT, yet I've gained enough knowledge on it to post this thread. It's especially terrible during the ROBLOX Rally. |
