Hey fellow CBMers!! I just wanted to lay out a few of my thoughts here about Fisting.
I am going start at where does it come from. When someone would post an article, someone would post first. At first it was fun for all involved from what I saw. Then people started to get sick of it. Someone eventually coined the phrase First to Fist ergo evolved into Fisting.
I still for one am completely entertained by the fact that people try to be post as quickly as possible to a freshly posted article. It creates competition and fun among the members here at this website.
On the other side of the coin though, some people who do this don't say anything about the article they post on which greatly annoys some readers.
It seems that it ended being so bad that the complainers got favored and the first posters starting getting deleted. Now it appears to me that people are delete happy.
Where do we go now? Well, I think if someone post's first, that's fine, but they would have to keep in mind that they would also need to make a comment about the article. Now it's a forum here and I don't want to see too much censorship, although I still believe we still need a little structure here too. If we police ourselves, it wouldn't give a reason for one of the editors to take action and start cracking down on us. Let's keep it fun!!
Finally, any of your thoughts good or bad on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Your Buddy,
