I see more and more of these popping up, mostly without the acompanying outrage of the race threads, but a general annoyance nonetheless. Should we let these threads stay in TLR proper, move them to Higher Learning (@Brown_Pride @Candor :mjpls:), the Bushes or create a new He Man Woman Haters/Feminazi forum. I know you all loathe subforums though. The topics of conversation are pretty limited in TLR compared to the other forums and maybe you all like constantly slap fighting, I don't know. But if you've been having issues with these threads this is the time to speak up. May as well speak up on other issues as well.

I think gender threads fit into the description of what TLR is supposed to be about I don't see there being an issue with them staying. People could always ignore them or whatever. But if the mods feel they have to go, then move them. I don't care either way.

Just assign another mod or someone who can monitor the forum and they will determine what's troll and what's not. There has also been a uptick in troll-cism that needs to be banned on site. Mr.Black is a participant, he is about 700 deep in the red. When you allow that to continue, it appears accepted and other trolls begin to mimmick.

Oh, that said - those gender threads don't bother me at all.

I thought troll threads were always tossed to the bushes anyway. Other than that I don't care. If it seems stupid and trollish I ignore it.

I'm not bothered by them yet. I just know there's a snowball effect when a topic is found to "make 'em mad." Just trying to get a consensus before it gets out of hand. The admins want the forum cleaned up. A lot of the people are introduced to the Coli via TLR and it's a bad look right now.

Why not "hide" TLR until people actually register?
