The main forums I peruse on BGG are game-specific, when I'm researching a specific board game. Those are civil, and folks are helpful if not social. As others have pointed out, different forums over there may be more social.

Here on RPGG it's sociable in many of the forums. It's more about community here.

@TomTi89 Ever read Fred Saberhagen's Book of Swords? It has 12 swords of power, made by the gods.

As long as people make it clear that this is a character to character disagreement. Which, admittedly, can be hard to remember (and hard to remember to remind people of) in a charged situation. But as long as it is kept in game and on a character level. it should work out. The problem, obviously, is keeping it in game and not spilling over. As a CH, I would step in if this got to heated and remind people that we are playing a game.

Luckily most of the discussion I see are about means (how do we do this?) not means (why are we doing this?). As mechanical and tactical discussion usually generate much less heat even when people disagree.

We had a Scion campaign once, where the characters joined forces with the baddies as enthusiastic as unwitting.
They "failed" to rescue the personification of the sun, thereby plunging the world in darkness (well, they found him/it conveniently prepped for an aztec style sacrifice and chose to finish that ritual by killing him because somehow they talked themselves into the conclusion that would return him to heaven, restoring the sun...).

Afterwards, when searching for the culprit, there was a prophecy somewhere along the lines of "something something, beware the one-eyed" and the players immediately managed to convince themselves (again without any input from me) that obvious answer was: Odin is the bad guy. Despite them repeatedly butting heads with a "Evil Eye MC" consisting of Fomorians, led by (famously one-eyed) Balor himself. At the next confrontation, it did not take Balor long to convince them that instead of fighting him, they need to help him steal Odin's spear.

Unfortunately, that was the last we ever played of that campaign - I would have loved to see how long it would have taken them to notice that they joined up with their primary antagonist.

I never watched Twin Peaks (did see lots of references to it, and I guess that's enough for me). But there are lots of shows and movies I've never seen and that's okay. 😊
I know I've seen ones that other people haven't. As well as books and comics and other media. Some of which I consider high quality stuff. But maybe other people wouldn't have much interest in. Some of the things I haven't watched because it's genres I am not into, for example.

I find the wargame sub-forums to be about as helpful and polite as the RPGG space. Whether that's because RPGs started out in wargame spaces and still share a common culture, I don't know. But it would make some amount of sense. I don't spend much time in any other BGG spaces any more, but based on what others are saying, it doesn't sound like they've changed much, if any.
