FYI ATS
#12
(09-07-2024, 08:37 AM)jaded Wrote: ATS hit the skids when posters were allowed to continually derail threads just to argue with each other. Plain & simple.

The notion everyone has a right to their opinion doesn't preclude the fact some of those opinions are being vented in completely the wrong threads. Letting people play that nonsense to preserve "site traffic" killed ATS. 

It's easy to blame social media but the fact Millennials & GenX have no clue how to write a coherent paragraph or stay on topic is also because no one holds them to that standard. People learn by example. Here in "cyberland" Mods aren't just thread-police. Pulling someones post & mentoring them in how to express a idea or opinion in a better way is what I mean by "learning by example". 

The older threads on ATS with the great topics & info equally were coherent, thoughtful and almost NEVER did you see a Mod Warning to STAY ON TOPIC.

I dunno about that. There used to be plenty of "manners & decorum" warnings that went up. I do agree with you on the political trolling that kept derailing every other thread, regardless of topic.
