Not that I've trawled even a fraction of the internet's forums, but I've gone through a few other roleplaying related sites and none of them had a forum with the same sort of community or forum as Spam.

Maybe I'm just lucky with the Internet communities I run into then.
Then again my other communities aren't RP forums but large facebook groups, which might be playing a role in it.

United States Government can pretend to be you.

I don't make any claims as to if Mods/Admins only come in after a report, or watching it on their own.
All I know is threads end up getting closed at a certain point of heat/tension generally, and it's rarely something they make any sort of comment on before closing rather than "This is out of hand", which usually leads to suggest it was closed because they or someone else did not like the rising conflict, which given as this is an RP site and not a debate site makes sense.

And hold on, we're debating about debates.
DEBATECEPTION!

I watched Attack on Titan for the the first time

You guys should all watch School days.

Well obviously debates are still allowed to start, otherwise OT would have probably been shut down by now.

But essentially ever debate I've seen on this site has gotten closed once things got heated enough.
I'm not suggesting the Mods and Admins close a debate the second it starts, but they often close it when the going gets rough in the debate.
Which is a shame because in most other sites I use (The ones who don't close debates), majority of the time said conflict often will eventually burn out on it's own and the majority of the people will reach some sort of agreement. But the Guild normally closes the debates before it get's to that point.

Shit, I need some help

None of them have a Spam section, though.

Though let's be honest, if spam isn't meant to be a random community then it's a community of people who know each other.
There is no set goal, topic or focus rather than 'spam/whatever you want' so it's more of a "This group of friends" page than anything.
While most forums have some focus but also have it as a group of friends.

Dipper said I doubt that the mods would lock the page over that.

I'll highlight the same thing here that Brovo has highlighted to me several times in the past.
This is not a debate site, it's a roleplaying site. Even if OT is the best place on the Guild for debates, debating was never the purpose.

In other (my) words, the site is not made for debates, the Admins and Mods are not Admins and Mods to track debates, but to help roleplayers.
As a result you will get Admins and Mods closing threads often because of conflict. I mean, I've seen conflict on other sites a hundred times bigger than the shit Admins and Mods hide thread here over, and on the other sites the admins leave it open, because they encourage debate and discussion, and they don't have any reason to be scared of or try to avoid conflict that arises from it.

An RP site though? They're not for debates, they're for roleplays. So if debates get to a point where it's causing complaints it's going to be closed.

To word it in a more black/white way.

There are people who in a debate relish it, they see it as people being passionate, ideas being used, people are thinking, free speech is being exercised, minds are working.
Then there are people who see debate as unwanted conflict, it's messy, it causes anger, it makes people bicker, they'd rather put to an end so everyone can go back to having 'fun' (Only in quotes because there are people like me who do have fun in said debates). The Guild is made for a community of the latter, so it's natural they close down threads showing heavy debating rather quickly.

Rtron said Forgive me if I'm wrong in this statement, but I take it you don't vote?You can change the government by voting new officials in who you think won't do what you don't like. If you don't vote to try and change the government, then you can't complain about how the current government is. You've done nothing to try and change it.

That's like saying you can't judge tea readings, crystal balls, astrology etc because you don't take part in it.
Someone is completely allowed to see a flaw, and call out that flaw without consciously committing the flaw themself.

Being perfectly honest, if there weren't people I were friends with on the Guild I would have left about 3 years ago.
I've still mainly transferred to a more active community too though, but that's a lot more due to Guild Activity having shrunk since the old site died and me now having more time to kill as a result.

But yea, if you feel like you're better off leaving then honestly go for it. It's your life, do what you want.
I'm assuming any worthwhile friendships you made on the Guild you would be able to keep up even after leaving anyhow.
Best of luck in whichever Internet community you migrate to. :)
