Trash threads are ok in general section…

Really?

They're all trash in there aren't they? "Game #1", "Game#2", "Where to buy", "how to cook asparagus", "how Halil picks his nose", etc...

Some threads like the those you mention are indeed trash threads in my opinion, but other members may disagree with this. Each to their own I guess..

Some General topics are also quite interesting and others are just good fun.

If it were up to me, I would delete the stupid game threads, blow away that “meet new people” crap being abused by one-timers, and make CyProb a probationary area where after a month or so a democratic poll decides if a newbie should still be posting there.

DT I hold you personally responsible for scarring the usual clowns...now they all packed it in and left, feeling demoralized and rejected...its all your fault with this thread...damn you man...

goodnight all...

... With the greatest respect to our beloved Refugee from Morphou.

All must be free to get across their view in any way they see fit. Sometimes that means a sensible debate but sometimes it means a sinple trashy thread which let's people get things off their chest simply.

There's no right or wrong in free expression.

(er... all the above within the rules of the forum)

I agree with my learned friend from Kyrenia. However its when there is no choice given to the rest of the debaters that I mind.

A thread is started with a proper argument and facts to back it up...give it 3 secs and its gone back to trashtalk. I'm all for getting things off our chest (which is why I have an APOEL season ticket) but I also believe that some threads should be respected in order for a proper debate to take place.

It would certainly help more reasoned debate if some our northern friends, such as BigOz, Shah and Gavgor.com, as someone suggests above, would contribute more and these are debaters who don't pull their punches. Come back boys.

May I also say to our unselfish, self-sacrificing for the Noble Cause, senior member DT that I'd rather have a buggering from his good self rather than from the Man from Tseri (?) (metaphorically speaking)...and I hear he makes the better souvla.

You've got to be kidding me... Insan and Gavcar are probably the same fool!

This can be quite dangerous. The democratic poll would be vulnerable to corruption and many forumers would vote along ethnic lines and in accordance with already established cliques!

But other than that, I don't really have an issue. Should make life pretty interesting...

Why don't you request this in "Suggestions and Feedback"?

But only those already inside the CyProb would be able to vote…

Yes, just kidding with that one, but I do miss Gav. I thought he/she was a great asset in the National Struggle.

Come back Gav - the Republic needs you!

But if all the trash threads were closed I'd only have 4 posts to my name and still be a newbie after nearly 3 years on forum

What? With our record of dodgy polls? Would be entertaining though.

Think of all the lovely times you’d be spending with Mrs Rich with all that extra time…
