Team Moon changes you; makes you stronger; pushes you to take the extra mile against all odds. The dark is not inherently evil; merely the place where things happen that are incomprehensible in the light. Bathed in the aura of the moon, the light and the dark can come together... to vanquish the evil that is on our doorstep.

"I have become a joke? I'm not the one getting mooned on global television. Oh, you sound just like King Sombra did when I was turning his attacks into confetti. I appreciate the offer, I truly do, but I've been down this road with Lord Tirek before. My troubles came when I betrayed my Pony friends, not when I joined them. Besides, I'm wat-- ....... I'm watching the score board. The Moon is flying circles around you. Hmm. Does that classify as an orbit?

*appears in a flash of white light* Oh, my word, I find your implication that you can bring "chaos," to these festivities to be highly offensive, especially when attempting to do it with the help of... her. Trollestia might send you to the moon with no bananas for the mere suggestion; I mean really. All that conceited X-100 Solar Flare wants to do is burn everything to the ground and turn it into a barren and lifeless wasteland. That's not Chaos. That's boring. Not fun in any way. Now, turning everything inside out just to see what colors are in there... making pies rain down from the sky... enticing all of Twilight's books grow wings and fly south for the winter... THAT's fun. Oh, but not to Fluttershy. I would never do anything to hurt Fluttershy. You wouldn't be thinking of doing anything to hurt my dear sweet Fluttershy... ...WOULD YOU?! I'll be watching you very closely from my usual box seat. Ta ta... *poof*

Debate Pit: Closed for Renovation
BornAgainBrony replied to Ice Princess Silky 's topic in Throne Room
So, wow. I'm amazed to see, from what some folks are saying here, how much trouble there is that not all of us are noticing. Kinda funny so many are saying, "thank goodness it's gone," without realizing this is only temporary. I wasn't going to say anything about it, since I had already made the decision to get myself removed, but since I also care about how this may or may not impact the community, here goes. There are many levels of "troll." Some just don't even care if another troll fires back at them. The first era of trolling typically involved taking a political position you don't even have, just for the sake of causing chaos. Indeed, it is. The floodgates were failing though. Prior to the previous shutdown of DS, political fights leaking out into other sections of the forum were becoming MORE common. This is the reason I remember being given for why it was shut down the previous time. The highest percentage of moderation activity was needed for the section that had the smallest population. That doesn't make any logistical sense. There was definitely a middle-ground where things were running better. I think it was around the beginning of the year. Some of the threads were looking downright professional, like college/university theses. Around the time Jeric backed away though, I was seeing the usual vitriol slowly seeping back in. There's a reason that moderators intervene in real-time during live debates; even the professionals have trouble keeping themselves in-check. I can easily understand why the rules were reaching the point of being "suffocating" though. The civil conversations were at the one extreme of what goes on in there. The other extreme still exists. It's rather pointless when someone can just copy/paste a Tweet without even first bothering to click one layer deeper into the conversation to discover the context; then someone else writes a lengthy reply to it, and either get shrugged off, if not completely ignored. It's just a waste of time at that point. There are far better places for that kind of "debate." And if anyone really needs to have that kind of rapidfire rage-culture but with a Pony slant, there's always 4chan. I'll say one other thing about the fact that things were better than the previous incarnation though. Maybe the new policies were working to keep things from degrading back to where they were. But it might also just be timing. The political landscape is definitely not what it was a year or so ago. The old Debate Pit died while the world was knee deep in the COVID lock-downs, and stress & paranoia were at an all-time high. But the chaos was already reaching a crescendo the previous year. Would even the current form of the Debate Pit be able to survive the next U.S. Presidential election? Considering how the playing field is shaping up right now, I very much doubt it. That does not sound at all like contributing a reason to bring back the Debate Pit. If you're saying all of your emoji use is sincere, then you are actually laughing (even if just internally) 99% of the time you read any post that disagrees with you, and then laughing again while replying. That suggests you are actually not interested in debate at all, and are just there 'for the lulz.' If you really need a place where you can get all your chuckles at the expense of anyone you don't agree with, there are far, FAR better options to consider.
