I think updates should have their own threads, not everyone goes back to the same thread over and over after they have put their 2cents in.
Just keep it simple to name calling or flaming, debates with logical points, etc.
Everyone has their own point of view and opinions can be changed, but not with name calling and insults.
Other than that, just post topics that have to do with the board, not "Does Brad Pitt have a good body in Fight Club" , or "Could Fedor win the Olympia with this physique" type of bullshit.
