Personally no, I don't like it.

I don't believe that. Say DDC again lol. It rubs off on ya.

I see no need to hand out labels like "irrelevant" to our fellow members and human beings

as someone who has had long conversations with Ethang on DDO I can attest that this won't offend him, and it's also accurate. 

Seriously, no one likes DDC? I'm not going for what is proper, but it has a nice ring to it. It rolls off the tongue as easy as DDO did. Not to be mean but DART sounds kinda dumb. I'll go with the majority vote but DDC sounds good...."Debateart Dot Com". 

It's only going to be used by the members, like DDO. For the record, "DDO" made no sense at all. 

So you've sat down and talked with some sex offenders in a counsel capacity? What's that like. Is there any acknowledgment at all that they knew it was wrong, or are they just totally remorseless and vacant of empathy?

I have (I'm a Social Worker). Many offenders are anti social(among other things) which many describe as prefrontal cortex issue since thats where complex ideas and behaviors form.

As a side note..... the Agency I work for views violent crime from a public health perspective and in such have concluded that  simple biological interventions ,either separately or in conjunction with psychological interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy , have the ability to reduce violent behavior.

Yeah. I'm just saying I don't know how using ART in the abbreviation helps distinguish us from an art site with Art in the name.

The site's icon is literally DA.

Not completely as a counselor, one on one,  but it's a day program and we have sat in on their group. They sort of know it's wrong but still have little to no remorse. Or it's such a compulsion they have to really tamp it down and abstain from most sexual stuff like even normal porn. I will say the ones who do the counseling and actually engage are better at trying to not offend then the ones who don't. But we had a guy in a nursing home, can't get hard, trap another resident from his chair in her chair. She's non verbal and assaulted her even though he couldn't get erect. He is on dialysis and dying. Still dangerous. 

Well I don't know about "interest" but one of the worst I read up on was Carl Panzram, he's not even on the main circuit of who gets mentioned and he was by far the most "evil" of any I've read about. Don't get me wrong they are all bad, but this guy in particular really worries me and actually after reading his case and the notes he wrote in prison about all his alleged sodomy victims and murders made me ill, I kind of left it alone after that. Not cool, people do some twisted stuff. 

If there are movie classics, book classics and music classics, then there's serial killer classics. I see Jack the Ripper as a classic serial killer. 

So does H. H. Holmes, BTK, Zodiac, etc. 

A lot of the fictional serial killers in Criminal Minds were very interesting too. If some of them were real they'd join in the classic serial killers. 

My father was apparently childhood friends with a future serial killer. For privacy reasons, I won't specify which.

A good point, the Zodiac Killer is probably a better comparison. But the Zodiac Killer is himself quite iconic because it happened at a time when television and the rapid news cycle were starting to get established fmpov.

It was highly sensationalized, but also presented widespread coverage and an example in action of how widespread media coverage can affect the behaviors of a killer, and even feed into it 🤔

DART

For sure

DART

it's easier to just all cap it

I do not understand the logic in using “DART”. 

To explain: Debate.Org is referred to as “DDO” — and this is because it is common to shorten names and titles. However, one would normally use single letters for each word in the name or title. 

“DART” makes no sense as it attempts to conjoin a letter with the second part of a title, as opposed to shortening the title by exclusively using the first letters to both, or all, parts of it. 

This is what an abbreviation is.

"DA" is sufficient.

Also I'd like to point out a few things. First is that this website has no income unlike DDO (at least in the past), ads barely work anymore because of all kinds of ad blockers and it requires lots of traffic anyway to make any money outta it. I'll probably come up with some donation system but I don't imagine it will cover more than hosting services and a couple cups of coffee for me. Also considering that the website mostly operating in the US area, paying for some Google search positioning services out of my own pocket would simply get me broke, so that ain't an option. And the last thing I'd like to mention is that DDO is 10 years old and at some point of time it had lots of people working on it (or so I think, not sure though), whereas this website is 1 month old and there are 1.5 - 2.5 people working on it and not even full time so it's also limiting ...

But if you have any suggestions, I am always open for those :)

This is how it is though, the religion forum never really did interact with any of the other forums. You were your own island and now that you're seeing the rest of us for the first time we're unfamiliar faces. Everyone here however knows each other and knows the religious users. You know other religious users and nobody beyond that. 

I be here

You know what... i just might have to stick around and keep you all out of trouble ;p I've noticed you venturing out into the "popular" threads... where everyone knows each other except of course the cursed "religion people." Lol. I actually like it... the outcasts. I've always adored such a position. But... this site really does move slow... i've always been the 'in the fast lane' type of guy.

Well, DDO slowly looks like it's coming back. I don't think i will be using this site when it does come back. I already stopped using debate island bc of this site... but, DDO is my main. I've been a loyal little soldier lol. 

How did it take 7 pages for us to reach this conclusion?

*starts to pollute more and litter

I'm one step ahead of you, Castin!

To truly eliminate the problem we must destroy the Earth. Only then will we have order. It's obviously the only logical conclusion. 

So, if we ban the user "Earth", then problem solved?

I arguably had the most activity around my name.

This is incorrect. 

In fact, people who did not use the religion forum on DDO have no knowledge of who you are. You were an irrelevant member there, and are an irrelevant member here.

I just speak the truth. Tell someone to "stfu no one cares" and then insta perm ban them if they so much as post ever again

flawless

Here's a good example of what I meant by innocent believers and corrupt sick practitioners. Check out this Catholic Priest that slaps this baby in the face in front of the babies own parents. Look at the countenance of the parents, and look at the countenance of that demon priest, looks like he would eat the face off that baby if no one was around, makes me sick. I would have leveled that guy right there in that church if I was that father.

Should I show people your post history on ddo?

I don't think forum blocks should be a thing on a debate site.

You guys continue to provide evidence for moderation demands

The whole post frequency point is just utterly arbitrary beyond that. As Castin pointed out, i've done that before. Would that be held as a punishable offense? I doubt it

@Castin- You keep up with pointing out when i ramble and I'll poop in ur wheaties 😤😂

At present, the block function only works with PM's. However, I have spoken with Mikhail today and he plans to extend this function to the forum and debates section(s). This should mean that if you block someone, they cannot respond to any posts that you make.
