Why was P&R Forum shut down? - Luvnit2 - 09-27-2024
I have no idea why moderators chose to shut down the P&R forum for 1 week without an explanation. I try to respect those in charge. However, it is hard to respect those making decisions and keeping us in the dark.
What is up with the P&R forum? Why did Holic say shut down for 1 week and now close to 2 weeks? I have had others reach out and ask why.
Can we get an explanation please?

2 weeks to slow the spread of overheated political rhetoric.

We were told 1 week, but never why it was shut down.
To me, it is a very lame excuse. We are adults and there is a COC firmly in place.
I see as much or more negative rhetoric in game day threads to shut them down, but they are not shut down.
Anyway, TY for the update.
A lot has happened in 2 weeks including a ton of things in Israel and Lebanon.

It’s just a guess out of me, I don’t actually know. This came about right around when someone tried to kill Trump again, so I just assumed.

The only logical reason is that Holic received complaints about it and thus shut it down to address them. I get it, this is a football board, PnR, while possibly the second most popular sub forum after the main one, is probably a pain in his ass. I'd put a disclaimer on PnR that you participate as an adult knowing that people can, and will get heated, and beyond overt personal attacks/threats you're going to have to strap on you big boy pants if you want to post there. But, again, I can see how it's easier for Holic to just let it die on the vine.

My guess it has something to do with 'Holic adding the new "Responsive" theme mobile feature. Which he got online yesterday I think and PNR is closed for the weekends right?

I'm not aware of the former, so I cannot address that. As for the latter, unless I am mistaken PnR hasn't been closed on weekends for some time.
