Or you know you could contact HO and inform them of things that are happening like that. Not everything has to be called out and it would make it a lot easier for HO if people just funneled evidence to them so they could make the necessary decisions

That doesn't really indict the Thunderdome's existence though, right? Even if HO makes the decision based on collection of evidence people will still want to talk about it. TD is a holding place so volatile discussions don't spill out into discussion, announcements, media, etc.

That's illogical:
- False cause fallacy (having a place where people can be toxic does not necessarily cause people to be polite elsewhere)
- Either or fallacy (the idea that "either we have somewhere for people to be toxic or they will be toxic on entire site" is not necessarily true)

I here before the Thunderdome and it was chaos everywhere

The Thunderdome SIGNIFICANTLY cleaned the forum up. Without it we would be back to seeing toxicity slung everywhere, and the forums would be much less enjoyable like they sometimes were then

I can promise you the Thunderdome is necessary. Sorry if you don't like, don't go in it. Because if we get rid of it you won't be able to go anywhere on the forum instead of that one place
