For a moment I considered leaving the social Risk Your Life section unlocked (and yes, any topics made elsewhere will be deleted).
However I made two conclusions:
#1: The “View new posts” lists will still be cluttered with Risk Your Life threads and the feeling of a useless forum will not have dissipated.
#2: It is the Risk Your Life community who is responsible for the lowered quality of my forum, and I am not compelled to give them any reason to stick around.
If the members of the Risk Your Life community can behave appropriately they are by all means welcome to stick around.
And I am still up-in-the-air on #2 because part of the problem with the community was the begging and asking to hack this server or that etc.
Unfortunately, with as much childish behavior as I witnessed within the Risk your Life community, I can’t trust those kids to distinguish between a section meant for them to discuss social topics and a section where they can beg for hacks.
When a Risk Your Life member is able to make this kind of distinction, he or she will also realize that the Social/Unrelated section could also be used intermediately.
When a Risk Your Life member is unable to make this distinction, when he or she wants to beg for a hack, he or she will just go to the social section instead. Being unable to find the appropriate sections for their posts was one major problem they had.
And in just one day after my action, look what valuable members have returned!
