Less technical related posts.
More people looking to stir the pot, aka trolls.
More derogatory, small minded, one track people.
Even if they come for only the smackdown, they will venture out sooner or later. I, like most in here, can keep the smackdown type things (srk forum posts) in here. While posting in a the related forum I hold zero grudge and wont bring up something that happened in a bs thread/forum. It would upset me very much if someone ruined a thread with that. I see it happen extremely often on svt.
Before some of you cry.. Jay asked what it would bring. Those are the top things that come to my mind. Post up the things that come to yours, good or bad.
I can think of a couple good things, that get out weighed by cons, but ill leave those up to you guys...Makes the debate more interesting!

Please add what you think the good things are. We have the power to make this a section worth wild or let it turn out like the SVT section.
I believe it would help to clean up the other sections in SR&K all around and maybe even bring more good members to the site. If a thread in the SR&K section gets out of hand instead of locking it down you could move it to the Smack down (or whatever we would want to call it) section to be hashed out instead of carrying it on to other threads or even starting new threads about it. There would be a section we could go to like this thread to vent and start thread about just about whatever we wanted to without the repercussions of being banned (unless they break the rules of the smack down thread). As I said before Jay, we have the power to make this section the way we want it. And just like in the past if folks do not follow the rules of the section they will just be banned. If a thread gets out of hand and the persons involved continue to act like children then they can be banned as well. It can be a smack down thread with an LS1tech class and I do believe it would be a success. This thread is 48 pages of insults and kitty bullshit but I bet you haven't gotten not one complaint about another member on this site or about any topics posted in here. We haven't had an issue thus far following the rules (as most LS1tech don't have an issue with this) and I don't see there being one. We can all act like children sometimes but if there is a place to go to unwind a bit and maybe bitch about something that is getting under our skin for the day we won't be ignited by some of the stupidity that is sometimes found in the SR&K section.

1) Bring in new members, who will quickly realize that this is still primarily a tech site with the added advantage of having a "venting" section, where unlike the SR&K section, they won't be banned. So in effect it will keep the riff raff all in one easy to manage section.
2) Even threads that go to hell can be moved over into the new section to allow for a continuation of venting, without having to lock an otherwise completely good thread.
3) It would help LS1tech's image by showing that we too can handle such a section, all the while not taking away from our highly respected tech sections. There would be an obvious and definite distinction between this new section and all others.
4) It would be serving a purpose, much like our bench racing forums do by allowing people to speculate and guess. It would help keep certain unrelated discussions out of our tech sections while providing an alternative to heavy moderation and locking threads.
5) It would provide an opportunity for us to keep a close eye on all those "trouble maker" members, since this is undoubtedly where they would congregate

***I am not exactly known for my **** talking or bs'ing and I don't often participate much in that type of thing, but I can appreciate an obvious advantage to having a section like this.
6) In addition to helping us to read and participate in other more serious forums without having to put up with **** talking etc., it would also allow for a bs section (where nearly anything goes) WITHOUT having to incorporate a street racing or kill story.
I see this as a win win win. It allows members of the "large mouthed" variety to exercise their strengths

Just a few off the top of my head. Some of these may seem redundant, but that is simply because much of my reasoning is worth mentioning more than once, since it applies to a variety of cirucumstances.

Although I can appreciate that some will undoubtedly join just for the "curb stomp" section (
), I actually see a good lot of what you are stating as being more "pros" than "cons". I mean even if the section would attract more derogatory, small minded people (descriptions which are mainly subjective and opinion), they would be new members who would have to follow the rules of ALL sections they post in regardless. The way I see it, new members are a good thing for the continued success of LS1tech, and if they "venture" out sooner or later into the other more tech related sections, they will be subject to all the applicable rules and guidelines of that respective section, of course.
I think a smack down section would help promote the following:
1) Bring in new members, who will quickly realize that this is still primarily a tech site with the added advantage of having a "venting" section, where unlike the SR&K section, they won't be banned. So in effect it will keep the riff raff all in one easy to manage section.

. It helps the moderators focus on their duties by removing a lot of the animosity that can develop and ferment in their sections. It brings in new members, something the admins can appreciate. Finally, it allows us members to locate, quarantine, and remedy "problem" members in an appropriately moderated forum, without having to bring down the whole site in a flurry of locked threads, banned members, and pissed off moderators ![Nod](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)

I must say I am surprised as this was very well written. I had no idea you could articulate such a thing...

Do you really think that such a section would create MORE bs? The bs you're referring is never "generated" by opportunities (such as a smack down section), it is stuff that happens anyways. Most bullshitters and trolls don't ask for permission, and most aren't waiting for a section to open up, they will just troll our good threads anyways imo. Trolling is mostly going to happen one way or the other, but this section would give us some control over it is all. I see such a section as being more of an oppoutunity for us "non-troll" types to be able to curb stomp the real trolls, who otherwise instigate and torment us where we can't really speak our mind. Thanks for your input though man, and I am not trying to say your opinion is wrong, it is just based on false assumptions though imo.

This is what I mean by it is up to us to make this thing the way we want it. It will not end up like SVT's thread and if some trolls come in there and try to turn into that they will just be banned. Look at it as a place of freedom and a last resort for the trolls on the site. We can name it the last chance lounge.. LOL You come in and play then it's ok, if you come in to instigate and start **** then you’re out the door.. You know what I mean?

Yeah I mean, it is not so much going to add to the bs, but rather just contain what there already is. I am sure that there will be those who would take part who otherwise wouldn't, but they wouldn't necessarily be trolls. If they were here to simply troll, we would know them already. Like I said, I don't talk a lot of **** but I can see the need for such a section. I think it would clean up our other threads and bring all the bs to one easy to manage location. Trolls will be required to follow the same rules as anyone else, the rules that have always applied regarding trolling. I think even on a trial basis this would prove to be worthy of consideration.

I don't know why picking up a phone to call one of our countless sponsors is so hard.
PS- I'm sure I'm being a hypocrite and I've done something that I was just bitching about before.

We all know I am an angel here, never cause any issues, **** any off or get in confrontations, so this whole smackdown thing is a tough thing for little, nice guy me to imagine.
I think it works, but only to a point. A lot of guys who frequent SR&K don't venture out much into the tech forums, but a good amount do (like that lemons douche who posts too much. Get a life!). Some of those guys though, have ventured out, made a couple posts and learned more about our platform and became (more) interested. It also means we can get rid of BS threads here in SR&K, which I happen to really like, but then they have their own place. SR&K is very different than any other part of the site, hell, it could be it's own website, so the **** that would go in the smackdown section wouldn't fly in the Lounge.
However, I think that some people would join specifically for the Smackdown section and could spill out of it and cause issues outside of the section, which is definitely not wanted.
I'm undecided, but if I had to vote, I'd say no. Can I be on the voting committee?

Also, if this does come to fruition, we need to name is something different that SVTP did.
