I found another forum where members, argued, bashed, and discussed varies things. The thing that stood out to me is that each post was at least a paragraph. Why do you think you don't see as many well thought out posts here?

Also, this post, the one that you're reading isn't bashing anyone. Its asking why is it that even though the members mature TBT doesn't.
 
Personally, I'm not a topic starter.
I only start topics if I reaaaaallly have nothing I need to address, or are downright bored.

And besides a select few, there's not really many people here that can hold a decent conversation >_>
It doesnt help that we're not allowed to speak our minds.
 
I suppose it's because people don't want to write paragraphs. Personally speaking, I let my thoughts flow and usually I write pretty long posts, at least whenever I'm up to it... It all depends on the individual person, and, of course, the maturity of that person.
 
I think people are capable but just don't want to / laziness. Either that or they really aren't capable...
 
Sometimes you just need to get what you have in your head out into a post. I'm not one to post paragraphs, but when I'm in the right mood or have time, I will.

Members get banned when they continue to show disrespect. There's a difference between, for example, talking about wanted features of SSBB, and bringing that same conversation into a topic about how so-and-so is "stupid", a "suck up", an "idiot", etc...
 
I think every time I've posted a paragraph for a discussion I've been warned.

@ Storm: Apparently not, on this forum at least.

I've been called a *CEN-1.1-SORD*. That member didn't get banned.


:huh: In fact...I got banned.

You should have PMed me or reported it. And I don't remember this, so I'm sure there is another side to the story. If you were banned, you likely deserved it.

I looked through your warn long to find that you deserved all of the warns. If you want to discuss them further, PM me.

Getting back to the original topic:

I found another forum where members, argued, bashed, and discussed varies things. The thing that stood out to me is that each post was at least a paragraph. Why do you think you don't see as many well thought out posts here?

What doesn't make sense by saying that is: Posting a long response...
1) doesn't mean the response actually contributes to the topic or doesn't mean that the person was able to discuss the topic in a mature, thought-out way.
2) doesn't mean it is respectful to everyone.

The fact, is that sure, it's easy to write a huge thing about your opinion, but the fact about the fact is that a lot of times people don't know how to express an opinion or don't know when it's the right time to.

(and when they DO do it in an inappropriate way, there are consequences, but then they associate those consequences with the simple fact that they posted their opinion, not that they didn't do it in a proper way that is actually acceptable)

1 paragraph isn't huge.
