Best angle of all: retirement
Essentially the Cage is where people can post whatever they want. You know this. If there is doubt about posting it in the GSD they can post it in here care free of getting banned or infracted.
This.
I see the purpose of the Cage as making it so that the only reason one should get banned is because they are utterly ******ed and beyond redemption. If you can't follow the rules, even with the freedom brought by the Cage, you are a fucking idiot.
It's never been any good for flaming. Once in a while a spectacular dumbass gives a good show, but usually it's call out threads (started even by so called reputable posters) with no response, just three or four pages of everyone else jacking off. The best recent flame thread was one sided and went nowhere pretty fast. I just don't see how banning that group of guys will do any good if another four or five kids will just step up into their place.
