There is a reason that violent video games sell so well and why Hollywood keeps cranking out movies with large amounts of explicit violence. Yes it sells and somewhere inside all of us is there is a thirst to see blood. When a fight brakes out, spectators show up real quick.
So yes from an entertainment perspective, the war zone is a really good thing. When people hear that a really good fight is brewing (PMTS versus PSIA, BB versus HH etc) we might get new members real fast just so they can show up and get a few swings in themselves.
There is only one real problem, they never go anywhere. No one ever wins and no one ever changes to the other team (at least not from what they read on forums). It's like tic tac toe and in the end that is a really boring game for precisely the the same reason (no one ever wins).
I see no reason to have a war zone. I do think that many mods in discussions have been potentially premature and it would make great sense to truly define the expected protocol for posting in a sticky up top. I for one am still unclear why asking a question of another poster in a post is considered uncivil?
