Anyone interested in a Crime Section?

Any chance of a True Crime Section please HQ? Then those that find discussing such things distasteful can hide the topic.

Obviously T and C's would still apply , I'm not suggesting a free for all,and yes it can be hidden if wanted.

I bet loads of threads would be deleted.
I'm not a fan of true crime discussions, they are usually just ghoulish gossip and we already have a section for that.
But then again I could hide the topic so it could work for me.

I'd use it if there was.

MycatsaPirate · 02/01/2017 17:16

Yes please.

I love reading about all the old crimes.

You think a section on True Crime would be tumbleweed Fallon?

Groovee · 02/01/2017 17:00

I'd be up for that

Yes please!

TheCakes · 02/01/2017 16:48

Crime is a matter of public interest and should be discussed (albeit sensitively).
There could be legal issues surrounding upcoming trials in terms of prejudice, but cases that have been concluded would be interesting.

Yy

Fallonjamie · 02/01/2017 16:43

That's the point though - a few people on a thread say they want that topic and then it's often tumbleweed once they're set up.

OpalTree · 02/01/2017 16:38

If there are lots of little used sections they can merge those ones with other sections or close them down. It's not a reason to no longer start new sections that there would be a demand for.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/01/2017 16:32

So no one can discuss crime at all?

OP posts:
Fallonjamie · 02/01/2017 16:32

There are already far too many little-used sections.

WellErrr · 02/01/2017 16:29

What about those who think it's so distasteful that there shouldn't BE a section? I'll go on that list.

Crime (and by default, it's victims) should not be entertainment.

Getnakedorgohome · 02/01/2017 16:25
