Seriously, if you got rid of it there would be about three threads in Moderation and the stress level of the mods would probably decrease significantly.

It must be so awful for you, being forced to read it.

But you missed the fact that nuking General would obviate the need for Mods, thus throwing a number of currently necessary Mods out in the street to fend for themselves. I, for one, would not want to be accosted by unemployed former NS General Mods pandhandling on the street. I find them very frightening! :D

I think there is a good reason to have a forum where people can discuss RL matters and other issues as the people who type on their computers the world over as opposed to a set of characters they've created.

I don't think completely eliminating General is solving the root problems you're alluding to in any way. I also don't think it's feasible to think that it will be eliminated. And even if it were eliminated, I honestly think the disputes you're referring to would spill over into the RP fora or in other areas where it's not welcomed. And you'll get OOC threads that have nothing to do with RP in the RP threads.

The NS moderation staff fears that if bondage equipment is used in forcing people to read the General Forum they may grow to enjoy it. This is Not The Objective.

I'm just noting that most threads in Moderation every day are about problems in General. If it was closed, then the users that used it before could just use Jolt's relevant forums, reducing the workload on NS mods. :p

For the most part, the General forum gets along fine. It's the troublemakers who are quite the minority. There are a lot of troublemakers, but when you compare that to the amount of people who post in General, the number is still pretty small.

Not gonna happen. Case closed.
