Besides this, keep debates to a minimum as this is mostly just a place for those times in which OTD is almost unbearable.

This sounds like an ideal plan in theory, but idealism isn't going to hold up. Realistically, people who want to cause trouble will ruin such a thread if they disagree. And I mean that for BOTH 'sides'. It would be more effective to make a private message chat, and invite people who wish to be added to escape the constant discourse. If they consistently bring trouble and conflict, then remove them.
However, if you think it will work, go for it. Positivity boosts peoples' morale.

If they consistently bring trouble and conflict, then remove them. However, if you think it will work, go for it. Positivity boosts peoples' morale. i imagine it could work under the right circumstances. threads such as The Christian Patch and Pretzels have excelled at what they do. this is merely a place to cool down, to escape the drama. there will be no fighting or real debates here. this is my hope, at least. i understand what you're saying but i don't feel forumers would ruin this place just because they CAN. i'd like to think better of them.
you're idea is good but it sounds as though it could quickly turn into a cliche and there's no real way of integrating new people if they haven't a clue there is a PM for such a thing. thank you for your warning, though. c:
Idk if I have any place to post here bah, sour. anyone can post here! it's a place to just chill and chat without fighting or drama. there's no harm in you being here to do just that.

no offence but the Christian place is hardly a safe space. if you go on there they constantly talk about forum drama and have to get warning from mods to stop talking about it. this thread is a good idea, but a pm might be better. that's what we did for LGBT people.

i really wasn't aware of this. i can put it lower on the list but, for other christian forumers, i do think it could be considered a safer community to express their ideas in.i think this might be the greatest thing i've ever created the best. haha. i love it. cx
what's the whole thing about the FitnessGram Pacer Test?

Post by shortstop on Oct 12, 2016 15:19:08 GMT -5
The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Right. I definitely don't think you should call something a safe space if not everyone feels welcome there. I'm not attacking the thread, because conceptually, it's fine - even though I sometimes disagree with how things go in practice - but it's not really what I would call a safe space. It's not even really designed to be a general safe space, anyway? It's a place for Christians to hang, which is fine, but that doesn't make it a place for people to go and vent. Anyway, I think there are more than enough peace/positivity threads on here, but if you want another, good luck.
