Is a "Philippines Fight Club" thread a good idea?
[blue]Greetings everyone,
It has been suggested to me that I start a "Philippines Fight Club" thread to give combative members a place to vent their aggressive behavior.
Personally, I'm against the idea, largely because personal experience with similar threads in other parts of this forum have lead me to conclude that, instead of providing a venue for members to argue to exhaustion, these "Fight Club" threads simply foster more bad behavior, generally reaching new heights of discord.
Anyway, I'm posting this survey to ascertain the opinions of the membership on this subject, so let me know what you think.
Thanks,

Cleaning up of Philiphines thread
To Admin,
I would request you to please remove the old threads that are not active and useful before starting anymore new threads.
The newbies who join the ISG Philippines thread have to unnecessarily go to many threads to find what they are looking for.
The threads are:-
1.USA Politics >> No Post since 06/27/06
2. Domino in The Philippines >> No Post since 10-01-06
3. Quezon City > Double threads
4. Robbed walking on the street near L. A. Cafe > 05-27-09 >Has been debated long enough.
5. Wrong Info in Angeles City > 06-28-09 > Wroung info has not posted any post in PH thread for a long time.
and may be
What, if anything, should I do about The Departed and/or his reports? >>Departed had not posted any more info about his mongering and has already moved to Malaysia.
If we could clear these thread before starting new ones, it would be helpful for the newbies to find info easily.
Thanks.

Is a "Phillippines Fight Club" thread a good idea? Yep
Every so often someone will post something. Another guy takes offense and here we go and then the board has to read through all of it. The fight threads while they are silly provide some board members who seem to have something “against” other board members (for some odd reason which is crazy because most of us have never met each other and probably never will) the ability to attack each other while leaving the other threads intact. whoever said words don’t hurt apparently wasn’t an ISG member.
Dont think theres enuogh "fighting " to justify it
Sure now and again someone says something that we don't like so we respond, but compared to most boards this one is quite laid back.
For the board with the least amount of "fights" try reading the KL Malaysia board. It goes like this." I went to massage parlour and scored a great chick, she was so wet and all over me."
Reply from a guy with 1 post will be " can you pm me her contacts"
Thats all that goes on on that board.
How About a "Guide" Section
This site has taken on a new unintended objective. Its not really a guide anymore. All the travell and places to visit information is buried within the mass of useless banter. (I'm guilty of contributing noise as well.) I was unable to use this site while touring Eastern Europe last spring. I advise everyone who asks travel advise for the places I've been to read the original WSG. Nothing has changed in 15 years.
Its up to you. Its your site. First, what's the purpose of the site? Is it a sex travel site? I voted the "Offensive Behavior..." answer. What's to gain from reading "name calling"?
