@BeryllCorp If this is implemented, drama posts will switch from feelings to other tags depending on the users. There is also the third party aspect, where members will share and voice their opinions on the matter. Finally, it would be punishing users who are not even involved by taking away certain features from them.
I believe it would make more sense to add a new rule prohibiting drama posts. The new rules shouldnt be try to cover all corners as it will undoubtedly catch some users in the cross fire. By banning drama posts and giving drama a broad definition, it allows for the mods to judge on a case by case basis.
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.
@Defalt1 If that was the case, why do we have the feelings tag? Perhaps it may have been misused in the past but this post is truly about the feelings of an user.
@Defalt1 This post is the feelings of WiiMini, who feels there should A. be an end to the Ren issue and B. And end to all drama. This is why the forum has the tag feelings, which is described as For those players who just really need to talk about their feelings.
@Defalt1 Perhaps by bringing attention to the elephant in the room, we can fix the issue and never have to deal with this again. If you don't care, then don't click and comment on these types of forum posts. Like drama, their ambition and will to continue the fight will die out over time. Comment telling them to stop extends the life of their flame and gives them a reason to continue.

@Potato21 @DerpTheSoyacfartala Ignore the forum post then, ignore the problem. However, don't complain when this type of issue comes up again in the future. The time to face our problems as a community is now, not later. If we don't like these types of posts in the forums, lets work to fix the problems that bring them so we never have to see them again. If we are tired of hearing about the drama and issue, lets work to make sure we never hear it again.
@Potato21 It's like saying if it works why fix it?
The problem is our current predicament isn't working. The same cycle keeps happening over and over again. Post like this bring attention to this problem we would rather just ignore. However, I am conflicted. While this brings light to the main problem, it also brings light to the drama and spreading it. There is no easy way to work around this.
@spefyjerbf As with my last forum post, making a post about drama only fuels it's expansion. However, this post is bringing light to a greater issue, which is the constant cycle of drama and calling for a rise in support to fix it.
@KnightOfRen Simple, we prove them wrong and inspire change. The system needs to be reset or changed. However, this will take time. For now, Ill switch the meme build to a more umbrella type post to help.

Drama posts tend to get upvotes from supporters and comments from critics. Also, what if your forum post includes both a teaser and an announcement?

@WiiMini I feel like I have said this before on a certain removed post
