-x- CocoNoire -x- Divine_Malevolence An' if they aren't around?     Then wait until they get back, or privately message some close online friends. Sometimes that isn't enough. @ Cleo I fully understand that. Like I said, tone is everything. I support the idea of a rant thread... or a rant subforum. It's like the life issues subforum in the Gaia Forums.

-x- CocoNoire -x- SoulSkourer I think a rant would be okay... As long as it ain't too political, because that causes flaming So would rants about people... or religion...
It's bad news bears all around.
It's a bad idea.
I don't understand why people are so gung-ho to make their personal complaints public. If you really need that kind of sympathy, you should probably turn to your real life friends. Okay, that's what you can do! The rest of us aren't fortunate enough to have people right at our fingertips at all times. And since we're different from you, I guess we'll be using different techniques to cope with anger, sadness, or stress! Yay!

That was my situation. 3nodding But why be so limited in choices? What if some of my friends were online, but they were busy or something? Why should I bug them when there's an entire community of people that is friendly and supportive? Why limit the ways for a positive outlet of steam? Because ONE person doesn't want to read it? Well . . . that's egocentric.

Divine_Malevolence Silent Sympathy Divine_Malevolence Silent Sympathy Divine_Malevolence Silent Sympathy True, but there will have to be some way to enforce that. 'Cause there's bound to be someone who will break it. Enforcers there would have to be? Idk, lol. Punishments? Like a strike system. 1st strike gets a warning, 2nd strike gets a temp-ban from guild and 3rd is perm-banned? They maybe to to extreme, but I'm just throwing ideas out there, lol. The OP could just ignore them. No need to kick them out of the guild entirely. (Sorry for the late reply. I needed to put the little ones to bed)
I don't think a lot of people are able to ignore someone who's patronizing/attacking/ or being negative to them. I don't know, I guess we could run a trial thread for a week and see how it works out. Nonono. The OP. Who could ignore someone and thus make them incapable of posting in the thread. Whoops. Sorry about that. True, that would keep things a lot more sane.
@Cleo: Are the gears in your head turning?

Personally, I think it would be a nice idea. You had a bad day, usually this is the first place a lot of people go to when they get online. Why not make a place where they can let go of all the stress inside them in a thread where it is allowed? Sure, there NEED to be RULES. Such as, "No attacking", "No flaming" and things of that sort, hell, even make it so that you can't talk to each other, you know, reply to someones post. So long as everyone here understands to NOT come at someone and say
"Oooh, poor baby, you had a rough day at school. STFU!!! YOU THINK YOU HAD A ROUGH DAY?!?!? Lemme tell you about mine!!!!!!!!!"
You know, that's rude, it is mean. Especially if people come off and say "Quit bitching and go cry to your mom/friends." Let off some steam, post it in a thread and then be done with it. Don't reply to anyone, if you think they wanna talk send them a comment, send them a PM. I mean, it is just like people posting threads about something that JUST happened like Blood with his rant about Zen Garden's and that stupid kid, me about the whole Fluff problem and the stupid girl telling me to BUY my badges, ect ect.
It would save space and it MIGHT stop some arguments so long as we have the correct rules put in place. Don't allow them to be raciest, sexiest, against people's religions, ect ect. Idk, I like the idea, we just need to make sure it is thought through carefully, very carefully and everyone knows what they can and cant do. Hell, make a subforum and let people do it in there. >>

Divine_Malevolence But you need to get it off your chest at that moment, as the case oft' is? Whilst all your online friends are offline? Life Issues subforum?
This is the zOMG Chatterbox Guild.
I'm fairly certain it would be easy to see who's posting and online at the time and whom would be available to PM.

An' the thinking does need to be done. So.... No controversial topics within a rant?

After all, we know each other here (fairly) well. There, we are subject to users we know nothing about. If you want to throw yourself to the mercy of unknown users, be my guest. I'll leave myself to the mercies of Cleo, Divine, KKD, and Chozo (others not mentioned to save space)

Divine_Malevolence An'...... What would be the difference between the life issues subforum and a thread designed for rants to take place in? From what I understood when I joined, that's not what this guild was geared towards.
And, again, it wouldn't hold appropriate content likely. Not if it's going to be a jumble more of what Cleo's rant thread had. What she posted should not be repeated in any format.

Well, I just mean that certain things need to not be said like
"Christians are sooo stupid! F THEM!" or
(examples, I promise)
"Cleo was such a b***h today! Screw her!!!"
(I <3 you Cleo!! gonk )
Just make sure they are not, directly going against someone.
If you have a problem with someone, say "This person" or "This girl/guy" >>
Things like that.
Don't attack someone in your rant.
