Coming to the thread late but I just read this post and honestly agree with it 100%, I think just avoiding the Pit is the right track. The way it is ran is truly Orwellian, and I think you have the exact right idea to just stay out of it.

FWIW I don’t much think the pit adds anything to this forum, and I’d have just banned someone for attacking a rape victim if I was running a message board.
