222. Maybe DU needs a Back Alley group

Let's face it - a lot of people come to DU to fight with one another. Part of the game appears to be to see how far you can push the limits without getting hidden or banned.

It is clear that DU has been designed to encourage this kind of activity. Maybe the next version of DU could have the ability for a subset of people in a hot thread to take it to the "Back Alley," where there are practically no rules - personal insults, racist remarks, all are fair game. I'm sure the DU developers would add in other features to make it more interesting -- maybe it would be a death match where it doesn't end until someone is banned.

As much as people say they don't like this stuff, I suspect it would be highly popular.

I'm not seriously suggesting a "Back Alley" group, but I am serious that DU is designed to promote conflict. We need to keep this in mind in threads like this.
