what i like about dubcnn is, that it keeps gossip & sensasionalism to a minimum.

however it is not prohibited on the forum.
this topic isn't about, whether the staff should ban gossip,
as i know that it will never happen, plus i'm sure they have their reasons for allowing it.

i'm just wondering whether you agree with me.
i know it's very hard to ban gossip from the forum,
but it would reduce the negativity a lot + it would benefit contributors of this place

What do you mean gossip?

Speculation is the lifeblood of any forum.

There is a lot of copy/pasting of bullshit articles from bullshit sites, i'll give you that.

It's the 2Pac collector beefs that are really killing the forum IMO. Like a fuckin soap opera.

It should be (and is for the most part) dealt with on a case by case basis.  If the 'gossip' sparks discussion, then it's all good.  But if it just creates a bullshit thread it'll get locked.

good point.

i'm not sure about the last part though; maybe that's the policy, but i don't see those topic getting locked very often.
maybe Jome does from time to time though

Fuck censorship.

the thing is, flexibility didn't work on this forum.
regulation is meant to keep things under control, not to piss off hippies.

why do you think traffic rules were made?

Traffic rules were made to prevent people form killing each other. This is a fuckin hip-hop message board for Christ sake.

No, you don't understand the fact that this is an internet message board, not the House of Representatives. Relax and don't take it so serious.
