Current Events > MyAnimeList had a Current Events Board

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://myanimelist.net/forum/?board=6

It shut down in 2021. Here is the mod's final message:

"After long and careful consideration, the moderating team has decided to close the Current Events board.

Over the years, CE has become more and more of a toxic place. Three years ago, we modified the board rules in an attempt to curb the worst of these threads: clickbait/sensationalist topics posted more to get a reaction than to have meaningful discussion.

Unfortunately, it hasn't helped much.

Problematic threads which are against the rules continue to be posted on a regular basis, despite constant moderator intervention. Even harmless threads often become problematic threads from a handful of bad actors who either skirt the rules or create troll accounts to stir up drama.

Of all new posts on the public forum, CE accounts for less than 1% of them (0.98%). However, CE takes much more than 1% of the moderation team's attention and time. Our report queue is regularly filled to the brim with CE problems, slowing our response time to more active areas of the forum: namely, Anime Discussion and Anime Series sub-boards.

And ultimately, MyAnimeList is an anime website; it is not a political or news forum.

The Current Events board was born out of a desire for more "serious" conversations to be separated from more "casual", but these topics can no longer be discussed seriously without continuous moderator presence. Even if we had 2x, or 5x, or 10x as many moderators as we do now, the question would remain if 1/3 to 1/2 of our team should be focused on a board with 1% of the community's activity.

Thus, in the best interests of the community on a whole, we have decided it is finally time to close CE.

The Current Events board will be archived, so users will be able to find old posts they created and will not lose their post counts. Harmless topics which strike up a general conversation (e.g. sports threads) will be accommodated in Casual Discussion going forward. Controversial and/or sensitive topics will not be allowed. We invite users to discuss these topics on other platforms which are more suited to handling them.

To avoid being in violation, please read the updated Casual Discussion rules before posting threads there.

While we regret this action will bring disappointment to some users who enjoy the Current Events board, we hope that you will understand the motivation and careful thought that went into this decision."

Well if ce is going down, then imma post aoc feet pics. Try me Fandom

the CE Curse is universal

I stopped posting there years ago. Current Events use to be called General Discussion. MAL started to go to shit when they suddenly and without warning made it a rule to not link to fansub sites. No announcement anywhere about it. Just some random mod making it a rule violation.
