Going through the threads i have noticed a couple of annoying things from members whose posts have barely past 100..
*Checks post count*
I'm good.
I think as long as you have something relevant to the thread topic, whether or not posetive or negative, as long as you present your p.o.v accurately and in a mature manner, it can (or at least should) result in a pretty decent discussion. Of course, there's a bit of idiocy here and there...but many times I've seen what I think you're referring to: Person enters thread, "fuck you and this topic", "you're wrong because I'm right"....that kinda deal? As though their personal tastes and/or ideas are the be all and end all, if you're not in line with them, you're not worth hearing from, hm? (eg - but WHY wouldn't you like that movie? - a soft example)
Of course, there's also trolling...where something of a minor (or what should've been) minor disagreement is taken too far by one party or another, be it started by a joke taken wrong, a snide remark, a misinterpretation, a conflicting opinion...to the extent of one following the other, spreading the problem into abundant threads...can't say I'm innocent on the argument factor, but behaviour like this is just stupid...of course, they all cry "innocent" soon enough when you resort to their own M.O.
As for trashing a thread on account of it's content...well, this is the general forum...I say provided it's appropriate and not endorsing or encouraging any kind of illegal or deviant behaviour, especially in our younger members or viewers, it's all good...I mean hey, MA15+ is pretty much what should be followed around the place in general, even if only to not provide the "horror = evil" crowd with any further ammo.
