Perhaps we could have a place where people can go and just "rant".
It's a good way to deal with stress and unwind from a rough day.
One could argue putting it in the spam forum, but then a lot of people may take advantage of that and... spam it. That especially wouldn't be good if the topic was actually very meaningful to the person.

I predict it will be used for a week, and people will stop using it.
If you're pissed off, go and train on some obstacles!
And making a thread where you rant could lead to discussion, so if anything, it should be in the General forum.

one forum I used to go to had a "Maturity Board" where it was explicitly stated that you had to be mature...if you weren't, you could be post fined, suspended, or even banned, depending on the severity and recurrence of your actions.

That's stoopid. I'm sure chief appreciates that you're making his idea look great by demonstrating why it's needed

I been on boards with a rant section and they worked fine.
Also If it's going to go in "general" it could at least be a sub-forum.

But this forum isn't popular enough for something like that. NO ONE has those rants on this forum, I don't think making a board will change that completely. There's barley any threads in Spam/General.

Even still, I consider an "Active Board" one that has MANY MANY posts per day. G4tv's Off Topic board has a post every 10 minutes (At least when I was on back in the day)
There's not a post every 10 minutes in either board. My point is there's not enough posts to warrant a totally new sub board, which is why these are always denied by other users, it's not needed unless our board is MORE active/crowded.
Is that a better way of saying it? MORE active.
The point of sub boards is when the main board is crowded with post, they find a way of dividing up boards. The general talk forum isn't crowded, and guess what? We STILL divided it, and now we have 2 forums. We don't need to divide it anymore.

You're just being silly JP. Who cares if it doesn't get much activity if it serves its purpose? If you didn't notice this forum is NOT the g4 boards so obviously we don't have as much activity.
Last post, yesterday? Who cares if a forum goes 1 day without a post. Are you serious?

How about you add a post there were you rant about something, because it needs activity, you have an idea for a thread, so do it there! Problem solved.

How "active" a board is isn't the matter here. How many topics have we actually had that are actually about ranting? None come to my mind.
There were a lot of spam in the posts, that was solved by adding in a spam forum. There was a lot of user content and now we have procedures in place for that. Right now, there isn't any place for that. If it got started and a lot of people started posting in it, then maybe. Until then, no sub-board imo.

People don't want to sound whiny or annoying, if we had a place for it then I'm sure it'd be used.
