    Stopping Drama - Mini SP Explained

    Why forums are not the answer

    With some recent small drama happening today because of a forum post, it is obvious the community doesn't know how to deal with the issues they face.

    It is best to compare drama to a fire. Fires are maintain through a fuel source and oxygen. For our example, there is a sufficient amount of oxygen present for combustion, however, there is only so much fuel. Our fuel for drama is people.

    The drama first starts at the source, which can be a user, build, forum, etc. Like a fire, drama must find more fuel to expand and sustain itself. If it can not, then it will die out after burning through it's supply. The most common way for drama to spread on this site is through forum posts about peoples' opinions and observations. By making these posts, the poster brings the drama to attention of more people. These viewers will make posts about the drama, either taking sides, calling for people to stop, or more. This leads to an exponential growth of the drama as more and more users are exposed to it and make posts about it.


    What about you?

    Now I must sound like a massive hypocrite right not. Aren't I bringing more attention to drama by making a forum post explaining how drama spreads and how to stop it? Well no actually. The reason is that I never pointed out a specific issue in this post. By avoiding naming an issue, I am not bringing attention to it, thereby reducing the chance for drama to spread via my post.

    However, this is not a guarantee way to stop it. I have no control over what people say in the comment section. A debate might pop up as people try to state their opinion on a certain topic, provide an example, or something. Please keep drama out of my post comments. Thank you.


    Conclusion

    While I cannot provided specific examples out of fear of spreading the drama, I suggest you keep an eye on the forums and do your own research. Look for patterns and the cause and effects of posts relating to drama. You may find that they go hand in hand with my observations.

    The only way to stop drama is to ignore it. By doing that, you are 100% stopping it from spreading through you by depriving it of it's fuel. Remember to keep any drama out of my comments and have a great day or night, the choice is yours.
