Indeed! And thanks for the invitation to do so.
You're of an opinion that The Spa is unnecessary, correct? Please correct me if I'm wrong, by the way. Still, if my assumption regarding your opinion of The Spa is correct, you're entitled to that opinion, for sure. However, The Spa will continue to exist for as long as people see fit for it to do so.
With that being said, although "would probably suit" isn't the same as "should", the implication is there all the same. Participation in The Spa is purely voluntary, same as any other section of the forums. If you're of a mind that its existence is futile, you're free to express that, but perhaps your commentary would be better suited in threads in sections of the forums with which you don't take issue.
The Spa is meant to be a harmonious place, after all. If its existence is bothersome, there are plenty of other sections within the forums where your opinions may find refuge without speaking against others' enjoyment of a small corner of the internet that was specifically designed for peaceful discussion(s).
You're welcome of course
I disagree with your statement that "the implication is there all the same". You could've asked me to clarify too, like I asked you, instead of making a claim that implies that you know better what I mean than I do. I wouldn't use "would probably suit" if I meant "should".
I don't really see the need for having both The Pub and The Lounge because in my opinion they have a great overlap and the difference that is there is not one that I personally think needs a split. I'd rather see Lush focus more on less features than adding more and more, and that includes sub forums. But hey, they're here and if there's a nice thread in either one that I want to respond to, then I don't feel uncomfortable posting there. Same with The Spa and The Think Tank.
The distinction between The Spa and The Think Tank is different than the one between The Pub and The Lounge of course since the difference here is more about the form and the amount of moderation than about the subjects itself. And where the topics do differ from the ones in The Think Tank I think, based on the current threads, that that content would easily fit either The Lounge, The Pub or some other sub forum that already existed before The Spa was created. And maybe there's just some OCD going on on my side where I prefer to see everything structured in clear, non-overlapping categories
I get the impression, and now it's your turn to correct me if I'm wrong, that my response to patokl earlier in this thread might have hit the wrong nerve. Or otherwise I don't know why you think I find The Spa bothersome instead of just redundant (personally). I said "the purpose of The Spa is only to show how annoying it is if there's too much moderation" because at that moment I really got the impression that that might actually be the case, as the level of moderation at that point felt like whole threads were being rewritten, which felt like the opposite of harmonious to me. And I was not the only one to comment on that. Anyway, you promised that that kind of moderation was of the past, and so I adjusted my opinion of The Spa accordingly.
BTW, I think we're having a peaceful discussion here.
