If DVs get set up in DF, I'm ok with that, but I'd rather have it occur organically, I don't want to change my posting/viewing habits to make it happen, mainly because I don't really care either way.
But poof was right in that users (at least some of them) will develop an e-peen by getting dv'd into oblivion. The most obvious of these is Zeni. I can't fucking believe people here still give him attention. Literally all he wants is to get shat on. Fucking ignore him. And if dv's get instated anywhere on the board, contributing to his negative rep will be another thing he wants.
Also DVs on nodebb led to far more whining from people with thin skin than I've seen whining here.
Furthermore, I'm in agreement with Mexo that more extreme separation of DF and FFA would be a bad thing. The current separation we have now works for me.
I'm also in agreement with the person who said (I can't remember who) that people who make ok threads in FFA but the threads get moved to DF because of some asshattery due to others in the thread would get punished unfairly. Someone might start off in an innocuous thread in FFA that gets moved to DF because of others asshattery, but still want to contribute to the non-asshattery of the topic now in DF, especially the OP. The poster of a thread shouldn't feel obligated to abandon their thread because some other asshat got it moved to DF.
