epicmafia as a website where opportunities to reach out and show support to vulnerable people aren't hidden away because certain explicitly toxic and horrible people are allowed to roam and post freely. epicmafia as a website where hiding these opportunities away is the better option because there's no control over the self-maiming, humanity-killing community that the website harbours

i think a serious discussions subforum would be ridiculously stupid and i have no idea how people are interpretting this thread that way

this thread is outlining a concept of an “alternate universe”, as it were, where epicmafia doesn’t harbour its current horrible community and mindset, because it decided not to tolerate such toxicness earlier on in its life.

just imagine it and realise how impossible it is and how we’ve all accepted that it can’t be done

it’s really really sad.

i think harmful toxic users being understated as mere “trolls” is probably what i’d take note of from giga’s posts

i made a thread a while back talking about my psychological disorder when i didn't want to talk to anybody irl or anywhere else about it. if people think this is the place for them where it's good to let stuff out then they should go for it, but they should only be surprised at what they see in response if they only get back what they want from it. in other words, the chances of you getting a non-offensive or troll reply are one in a blue moon, and if you're prepared for that, then by all means fire away

this website could never have a serious discussion subforum because

1. banned users would troll it
2. the number of reports and moderation to be done in there would be through the roof
3. too many trolls

good idea and it does exist in many forums but in a dying userbase filled to the brim with trolls it will likely accomplish the opposite of its purpose

when you die, the guy giving the eulogy at your funeral isn't going to talk about that sick epicmafia setup you made or the time you cheated for a silver trophy. it's all about the impression you've made. just be a good person, sometimes it's all you can do

i think this site is inherently toxic because it premieres a meaningless set of rules and social standards while putting things that actually matter like being happy on the back burner. but honestly, i helped contribute to that just as much if not more than anyone. all i can do is repent.


theres no way this post actually means anything. ur just usig fluff words like premiere and backburner while just saying rules are meaningless and happiness is lame


happiness is the only thing that matters

all the constructs that were invented for the sole purposes of this website, gamethrowing, mishammering, or whatever, it doesn't mean anything. i don't remember 99% of the mafia games i've played over the years. the happiness /misery you get from this website is what's really important.

a lot of forums actually have a "serious discussion" subforum for stuff but god knows i wouldn't trust this site to have it
almost 7 years
i like the idea,a dedicated sub-forum for serious talk would be nice but it prob wont work because of two main reasons:
- community is too small, everyone knows each other. it's not the same as ranting about your personal issues to a bunch of strangers.
- toxicity isn't punished enough, you can be an absolute pos and still get away with it.

it's not the best idea to use a public space as a support system, whether it's online or not. find a close group of friends that can help you instead.
