I have seen a lot of dumb ass threads. Ok, so you have too, and for a long time. Problem is that they often start out alright, but before you know it we get into dumb abusive crap. Note anything to do with religion.

So, my serious suggestion is to have a "Dumbass" forum. Don't lock them. Move them there, and let the rest of us have peace.

Call it what you will, but having a "trash can" forum (no, not PN) would clear up a lot of garbage IMO

Another forum I frequent does that. They call it the Burn Barrel.

I think a better idea would be to have a troll free forum and not a troll filled forum. Just ban all the trolls from the troll free zone category. I say this cause I've seen a lot of good threads go bad by those trolls and just because you have a troll filled forum category doesn't mean they can't muck up a perfectly fine thread in another category.

If they could ban every single troll dont you think the mods would have done that and made their life 100% easier by now.

Everything Mac fits into existing forums.

A mac user asking for a mac forum is a joke? :confused:

It's been requested enough times I just figured he was as serious as the last person to suggest it.

Perhaps we are seeing a joke where one was not intended.

What I saw was a post asking for a "Dumbass" forum, then a followup stating that "Yeah, a Mac Forum would be great," which I interpretted as humorously suggesting that a forum for "Dumbasses" and "Mac User" would be synomymous.

*shrug*
