Can we get an official venting thread? (1 Viewer)

This is a serious request. There is a ton of good information on this board. Getting rid of the posts that do nothing but clutter up threads would be a good thing. Look at the Colston thread for example: there are dozens of posts along the lines of "I had Colston and Brady, please feel sorry for me." That is then followed up with the inevitable PTTS, which of course quotes the first person's complaint. Add all of those up, and about half of the thread is completely useless, which is a shame because there are some worthwhile things if you can sift through the debris.

I know that sometimes you just want to vent and that typing it out makes you feel better somehow, but really, nobody cares. And if they do, they can read about it in the official venting thread

Mods?

Should have posted this in the venting thread.

No. That is the Week 1 venting thread that people typically use during game days. We can still have those. I want another one that people can use during the week because they don't seem to use the weekly thread much except for Sundays. Within 2 hours, there will be more vents in the Colston thread than there are in the week 1 vent thread. The weeks threads serve a small purpose, but I want a 24/7, all vents, all the time thread. Other boards (rotoworld, for example) do this, and it helps. The whining doesn't go away completely, but it does get dramatically reduced.

We already have one. It's stickied up above and is still available. The cool thing is that when we're into week 2 we'll have another one.

It's a marvelous thing.

I concur and I am working furiuosly to redefine the "No Ma'am" acronymn into something relevant around which we can rally to take back the shark pool from the clutches of oprah-fication.

No, please use the that is pinned.

When you see stuff that's out of place in the other threads, please report it.
