I can totally understand why keeping it shut down is a pain in your neck you no longer have to deal with.  If I may suggest a less nuclear option, make it clear that participation in that sub-forum carries the risk of getting offended or feeling attacked.  Outside of direct threats or verbal attacks, e.g. calling someone a useless mother$#%@er, , which I have not seen in years, you should be expected to be an adult and deal with it or choose not to.  But, again, I can see how option A is much easier for you.  Thanks for having it there all these years though, regardless of what decision you come to.

I agree, it is not in our hands. Holic did warn about personal attacks. My view is anyone who violated the rule the COC would kick in and they world be suspended. Those offended and refused to accept others point of view to have a discussion should self-ban themselves.

As I have mentioned, our fans in jungle noise constantly attack each other, coaches and the players. It is sad if the final decision is to remove the P&R forum. We have some heated discussions at times, but as I learned a long time ago do not bring up politics or religion at family gatherings if you are ill prepared to have a candid discussion.

I hope the forum reopens. But, if not life will go on as God has a plan for everything.

P&R will be on our Discord server for the rest of the year.

What if we stay 6 feet apart?
