RWI


Recommended Posts

My thought on this has grown stronger and stronger lately. I fell that the section should be removed. A majority of posts in the section are nothing more than government and country bashing from the same people over and over.

The section itself has become a bit of a target for hatred towards each others countries and flame wars.

I myself am guilty of this, but more on the side of frustration at the fact its the same people, same ****, different day.

Anyway, thats my view, just wondered if im the only one that feels this way.

Please refraing from the comments of "dont like it, dont go there" that comment too is old and pointless.

Problem is, take away the containment that exists in having a specific section and it'll jsut migrate into general discussion and MM.

I got bored of RWI a long time ago with the religious and political self rightous zealots that exist. I post mainly in Gamers Hangout and the fanboyism and flaming that exists there is minute in comparison to RWI.

The zealots need to learn to accept and I'd personally like to see much stricter warnings and bans.

This is what i mean. It's always the same people posting in that section and its always about either anti government or anti west views. Its not just the fact that they are posting opposing views, but its always the same thing over and over and from the most strangest of "sources".

It really doesnt seem to bring much to Neowin, other than a headache for the mods. So in my view, it should either go, or more tighter rules put in place as to what can and cannot be posted there.

I realise we may lose a few members by imposing those rules, but ultimatly, those same users tend not to bring anything to Neowin as a whole and spend their time ONLY posting flame material in that section, trying to impose, other than air their views.

It should be removed. This is supposedly a tech forum.

I agree. Imo, this section adds no value to Neowin, and isn't really relevant to the theme of the site. NW would be a nicer place without it.

RWI is here to stay. Just simply avoid the section if you do not want to participate or view it. :)

Technology will always be the primary focus on Neowin, but we have also evolved over the years to have multiple types of subjects and content.

If it's a tech forum, what next? Removal of Neobahn? Sporting Arena? Area 51? Science Discussion and News?

Maybe we should even get rid of 168 while we're at it! :o

RWI is an interesting forum, I see no need for its removal. What happens in there is very similar to real life, some of those things are simply hot issues.

Old but not pointless. It's quite simple, if you don't like the section, don't read the threads there.

So? Sensitive much?

Not at all. It used to be an interesting section to read before certain groups formed and started posting the same bias news items over and over again and then, instead of discussing opposing views, they start twisting peoples words and getting all ****y when they get stuck in a corner, because their view has been proven wrong.

If it's removed then these people will filter into other sections of the forum and continue to post bias articles, thoughts or whatever, however at the moment people who don't like that section of the forum can simply not go there. I don't and haven't in a while now :p
