The immaturity level of this forum has reached an all-time high, and it's time that we all start to take a few deep breaths and think before we make our posts from now on. Every single time I log on to d2jsp and come to any sub-forum of the Sports Coliseum, the only threads I see are either troll threads or stupid and pointless. I'm tired of coming on here and not being able to make a post without it getting swarmed by trolls looking for a cheap laugh within 5 minutes. The Sports Coliseum used to be a means by which we could get away from the stupidity, rage, and immaturity of the rest of the d2jsp community.
I don't know why this shit started or who started it, but this has to stop. For the longest time, d2jsp has wanted to all but get rid of this sub-forum completely (for obvious reasons), and with the way things are going right now, it's hard to see why they don't just do it completely. We've become nothing more than a lesser version of a PvP forum, and the only type of community outreach and/or bonding activities that have occurred are just massive spammings of other sub-forums.
I get that we're getting an influx of newer posters, but a large portion of the problems related to the Sports Coliseum is directly caused by the older posters, who should man up and take responsibility for their actions. Some of the jokes on here are completely inappropriate, yet they're still being made and they're still getting the "rep" which they seek as a result of these jokes. I understand that your life may be stressful and you need a place to unwind and relieve that stress, but there's honestly a better place to do it than on d2jsp.
If you really feel the need to be immature, please do so outside of this thread; odds are, most of the trolls and spammers on here won't care anyways, but it's worth a try. It's time to clean up our act, one poster at a time. If you agree with this thread, then please reply with the following quote and add your name to our list.

I understand that the reason that the Sports Coliseum exists is to provide a forum via which members of the d2jsp community can discuss their favorite sports and related news and events. I solemnly swear from this day forward to exercise good judgment and not use d2jsp as a cyber-playground. I will make every attempt to ensure that our community continues to thrive, but in a way that both does not intend to offend others and is morally acceptable. I beseech my friends and the rest of the d2jsp community to make this vow as well in order to further the goal of making our little corner of the website a better place.
