Valentine's Day
As Valentine's Day approaches, I considered for a moment the state of the forum and how people were acting. I've seen so many occurences of flaming, general anger, or even hatred (and how foolish is hatred when you've never met the person you hate?) that I feel the forum is spiralling out of control.
So my solution is this. On Valentine's Day itself, starting at 12 midnight and ending at 12 midnight, you're not allowed to say a single nasty comment to ANYONE on the whole forum. If you see a post you don't like just don't respond to it. It doesn't mean you have to agree with someone's viewpoint, you just have to appreciate their feelings and say something like "I'm afraid I don't agree with you, my opinion is this" and leave things at that. There would of course be no repercussions if someone was nasty, but if everyone made a conscious effort to be positive and friendly I think the forum would be a much better place. This would mean:
If everyone on the whole forum followed these guidelines for a day, and see what effect it has on the forum's quality, I think we might learn a lot about the futility of conflict here. Quote:

Hmmm it's an interesting idea and hopefully it will work. If it does work and everyone here at LF gains a new appreciation for one another than maybe more people will last more than a couple of days when they first start out.

Especially considering the forum atmosphere of today, this is a much needed thing. I hope that this goes down as well as its been planned, and that it isn't destroyed by a few ppl that decide to go and mess things up.
Day of pink and red love - Valentines day - let it bring peace to these forums, even if only for a day |

Good idea. Now watch how my rep log and pm box get flooded before that happens. zz99 kept pming me and I had to put him on ignore for him to stop pming me. Seems like your the only one thats actually doing something good bottle.

some ppl just need to be ignored completely for the next few days, ignore list is a beautiful function, especially for days when you've just got to let the love come rolling in

I specifically told him that if he did not want me to pm him again to not respond to my pm, but apparently he is incapable of doing so.
