Since a lot of good discussion (especially topics fighting for our 2A right) seem to go there, could we get a sticky explaining The Litterbox and how to go there? Also especially because when a topic goes there its activity doesn't show up in the "Unread" feed.

Its right in there on the main forum index page...gaining access is pretty self explanatory.

Why do important 2a topics even end up there? Perhaps change the name to to the unmoderated forum. The name litterbox doesn't exactly exactly make most people want to run over and check it out.

One of the reasons I've never visited and never will. I believe it portrays any valid opinions posted there as......well we all are familiar with what is usually deposited in a litter box and to add insult to injury the password is "Trashcan"?...a tongue in cheek slap in the face. I further believe that it paints it's visitors in a rather callous and disrespectful light.....exactly why the name and password was so carefully and laughingly chosen.

 

I dare say however, it is highly effective....at least in my case.

I see it now guys ...thanks. I had forgotten how to navigate to it using Tapatalk.

Never be ashamed of the Litterbox. It is a natural place for 2A discussion here, because it is the only forum that is really free. By and large the conversations there have the same level of decorum as any other area in the forum.

 

Petty name calling never made me change my mind about anything in pre-school, it sure as hell won't these many decades later.

 

If anything, they should rename it "Freedom's Ring."

Freedoms ring ...lol I like it

"Freedom Ring"  Has a nice ring to it. I have no real problem with the concept and judging from the hits, it's a real success. I'm old school and what I find rather offensive is the condescension that comes with the name and description of the "Litter Box". the kiddy table, if you will or some place to keep the rabble of the forum.

 

I am neither.

Freedoms ring ...lol I like it

i actually like it also.....   Let me work on something

 

 

I agree the "Litterbox" is a success for what I wanted it to do for the rest of the forum....

But now the password needs to reflect the new name... How  about "Free!Speech"   :D

LOL.... how about "dont push your luck"  

No problem......

Thank you... I believe the new handle to be not only fitting but will attract more contributors and dialog, now can I humbly request a equally fitting password be considered?

Thank you Sir..... It's encouraging to know that management listens and acts.

I liked 'litterbox' more. Not a big deal, though.

This is an understatement. People generally don't insult each other in there, not even "petty name calling." I'm sure you can find some examples, but it's just not the way people on this board interact by and large. You can pick 10 random threads on Arf and I will show you one or two that are equivalent to the worst annual examples of disputes or hissyfits on this forum. People just don't work like that here.

 

Funny thing is, the handful of nastiest things that have been said to me here were said by two mods, not other members. I'm not mod bashing, I think that is both amusing and says a lot about the general character of the regular members here. One of those calmed down when I responded, because he was not a douche just angry and lost his composure. Still funny. The mods here enforce some very strict rules, some of which are quite silly. But they don't do it with a heavy hand. How many people have been banned here? I can probably count it on my hand. But the silliness has been largely mitigated by the introduction of the Litter Box. I think more of you should go in there because half of the stuff is important discussion that is not allowed elsewhere for whatever reason. It's not a gathering of trolls and malcontents.
