The title states it simply. I shared this idea in the 'why do we have this section' thread, and I was wondering what you guys would think about it?
It would really be nothing more than an experiment that would last a week. The board would be disabled to everyone (including staff).
So yeah... just wondering what you guys think?
Before you comment, NO the express yourself section will not be deleted, nor will it ever. At least not by me, anyway. Because in my eyes, that's going too far and power abuse.
3 for
3 not

Ah, Well, I feel akward on this case. =s While I will admit, that is the place where I am Mod (Although, I feel I could try that job better), There is one thought that might effect that idea.
If, "Express Yourself" is locked, Than that may result in some bickers being taken to other Parts of the, Forum. Like, General or Lounge or something like that. =s Also, There are some who do use, "Express Yourself" responsibly. It may cause them to feel unsure where to post any updates or anything about them, if you know what I mean. =s
Still, While I won't name, I talked to them and They are trying to work somryhing out, Negotiate and stuff like that. ;3
Still, I am sure with some talks, The, "Express Yourself" area can be used properly and won't need to be Locked. *Hugs* X3
Still, What you think on this, Pups? X3

I think that the Express Yourself section should be placed on Lockdown =s
I mean, the D-r-a-m-a here got to the extent of a living hell.
Should we do the lockdown, we'll tell the others not to bring it up in the General Board or the Lounge as threads like that would be deleted without question.
Also, we can just easily post our vents on our Journals on DA while The Express Yourself Section is on lockdown should it be placed on lockdown
But, I'll be fair. If the Express Yourself section is riddled with Drama again, we'll place the section on lockdown

Alright I too am opposed to this lockdown. Like Mr. Clayman said, it would also affect the responsible users as well.

We may want to shift focus to removing those troll posts from earlier today. Granted there's too much profanity in them to actually be taken seriously but still it detracts a bit.

"Now whether it be Bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple Of thinking too precisely on th' event— A thought which, quarter'd, hath but one part wisdom And ever three parts coward—I do not know Why yet I live to say this thing's to do, Sith I have cause, and will, and strength, and means To do't."
Both sides contain valid points in this discussion, however, perhaps I may offer some advice.
Try simply a one week (if not three day) lockdown, and do so now, before drama rears its ugly head.
Surely you all have some other means of venting rather than this one board, correct? Perhaps a blog, or journal, or even the unpublished word document.
Better to engage such experimentation now, before a relapse occurs.

Well I think the opinion is pretty clear, we won't go under a lock down.
But don't go blaming me if drama starts up again =/
And a tip for some members, if you have a dA account, live journal, etc.. try venting in your journals there instead of posting on this board everyday.
(Btw V, your comment didn't show up for me until after I posted my comment)

Well, I already do vent on Da, but it's as if nobody cares.

They may not have time to comment much, or may honestly not like reading people's vents.

I still say it would be good to try.
...After all, when have I ever been wrong? x3

Yeah I agree with Bishop here.
Maybe you could do it like this. If drama starts up, place this section on lockdown. I've had up to here with drama
