If the arguments get nipped in the bud, then they won't end up taking over a thread (just like this one)Admin/pregphil know that we are all adults in here (at least we are supposed to be). They allow a certain amount of freedom to avoid creating a heavily policed environment that makes people feel like their parents are watching. I think they don't mind foul language as long as it is not racist, homophobic, or threatening someone's life. I think we as members can do a lot to control discussions that become unproductive arguments. You can tell when someone is becoming toxic just by reading their comments. A good strategy would be to end the argument by providing no further responses to the combative person.
If they can take down a user making death threats in a timely manner, then they should have no problem preventing arguments. This site has been around for 10 years now and has thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of visitors/users. Hire more admins since it's obvious that 2 people can't maintain this site by themselves.
Others who visit the thread and read the combative comments should not chime in with their two cents. If no one engages the combative person the argument will be snuffed out.
So far that hasn't worked out that well. Even the more mature members end up bickering and adding their two cents. Like I get it, threatening to kill someone is messed up and whoever said should be banned on the spot.
We don't need 25 people necroing the thread saying the exact same thing. At point you're just keeping the toxic thread alive instead of letting it die and getting buried.
