[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 4710915, member: 725"] Dear Enworld, I would like to request that posts that are related to the health of members of the community/business to be restricted to the more appropriate forum of "Off Topic forum currently named 'Embiggen'". Not only is that the most appropriate forum imho, but it also gives us folks that don't want to deal with the depressing reality of sickness and death a breather. No offense, but I see enough of the depressing reality in my direct environment. There is a very good reason why I don't watch the news, the news paper or any news related internet site (except computer or game related sites). It just depresses me, I'm actually a lot happier not knowing who got murdered/died/raped/etc. today. I really don't want to be confronted with that on a regular basis while browsing the forums that are an escape of the cruel realities of life, this is a fantasy RPG related site after all. I'm not a (manic) depressive, I'm not on mood adjusting drugs, or anything serious like that. So it's not a 'BIG' deal, but it does lessen my enjoyment of ENworld, I suspect that it effects some of the ENworld members in the same way. The last three weeks there was a sticky on the top of the General RPG Discussions involving Reveille and a coma. Being curious what it was about, I read the first post. I didn't express my support by posting, that is just not my way (although I did feel bad for the guy and particularly his family). But being reminded of that bad news every time I loaded General RPG Discussions isn't my idea of a fun time. I thought of this post at that time, but thought it would be in bad taste to post it at that time, now that it's known that it wasn't true I suspect that it is in acceptable taste. ENworld is has more then 81,000 members and is still growing every day. With this amount of members chances are that something 'bad' will happen on a regular basis (if not a daily basis). I really don't need to read about that on ENworld, at least not in the main General RPG Discussions forum. This might come across as a bit insensitive, but ignorance is bliss for some of us... Hopefully this will be discussed by the moderators, especially in light of the attention seeking of Reveille, an activity that could be discouraged by moving such threads to less active areas of the forum. Thanks in advance, Cergorach [/QUOTE]
