[Hecktix]

As, it is a question aimed at staff. I cannot prvide a link as I am on my phone.

Alright. No Jake hasn't been paid to be active and post a ton of threads to get people posting and create discussion on the forum, that is what we want surely? Last time I checked we were a forum. If you feel that any of the threads are pointless then please do report them and the Moderation Team will check it out and if they agree with you then they shall be moved to the appropriate section. But from what I can see on the first page nearly all of them are creating discussion and users are replying to them. Which I don't think is a bad thing?

[Nicola]

I don't see a problem with these threads at all, they seem to be creating nice discussions and most people seem to be enjoying them.

It's not just the same person making all these threads though, a lot more people have been making threads recently in discuss anything.

[Tintinnabulate]

I would rather have an active forum than a dead forum tbh. He did what I was going to do, just before me :(.

[immense]

lolol hi adam, hows you?

i think people forget i did this before on immenseman, people didn't complain as much then >.> sad that you're judged on posts and rep lol, zzz.

[W00TZEH]

its **** annoying to go on a forum and see all the previous discussions not there filled with new ones but oh well nothing i can do about that! would be better if you just did one thread a day.

[dirrty]

god people are never happy.

[FlyingJesus]

Nice point you're making in sports section :P

[immense]

it's fab, really helped my post count

thanks pal

[Catzsy]

Well my personal view is and obviously it is up to the Forum Management to rule on this is that unless somebody actually starts a discussion which states their points of view, comprehensively, in the first post so that is kickstarts a substantial and valid thread and not ask a question and then just say 'do you?' or 'what is it?' which invites short replies that are on-topic making then rather superficial, but not against the rules threads. As Jake has said above 'it helped his post count' - not really what Habbox is about in my view but he is entitled as it presently stands. Something that should be looked at fairly urgently I believe.

[immense]

dictionary > sarcasm

some people would never be happy. how dare the forum have a lot of discussions for old and newer members alike to get involved in. seeing as i've got new members to post which has been acknowledged by forum management with my +rep i won't be changing what i do. if you think it's spammy, report it. simples.

Is that post aimed at me because I am not sure. If it is then as I say my personal view is that they are borderline spam unless the OP posts a significant first post which states their views on the topic rather then just a question otherwise it could be seen by other members just posting to get their post count up. It is something that obviously only management can rule on as at the moment it is marginally allowed.

[immense]

If you felt that way why have you been actively replying to them, they can't have bothered you that much. I think that's stupid. Imagine a new member coming on "What do you guys think of Habbo" as title then posting "So....?" as the actual post, they'd be penalised, is that what you're suggesting?! Incredibly bizarre.

Because at the moment, Jake, they are not against the rules but I have sympathy with other members over the substance of them. Yes I do think the thread you have suggested is pretty meaningless unless the OP takes the time
to kickstart the discussion with his/her views on the topic. As I say though, this is my personal view which is not necessarily the view of the forum management.

[immense]

I should hope not because that's preventing posting and discussion, a problem highlighted by general and forum management.

[Catzsy]

Well I am entitled to my opinion and it would bridge the gap of posting to get the post count up and threads with some substance and most members do elaborate on their thread titles and give their views. As a Smod though, I go by the rules laid down.

[Hecktix]

I personally feel that Jake's threads justified themselves, as he did sometimes put his view in or he asked further questions/expanded the main question. That's most of them though.

Today's threads posted by Adammm simply had one word like "So?" or "do you?" which is different to what Jake did mainly.

I don't see what the major fuss is as most of the threads are turning into discussions and it seems to be only those with one or two words in that are generating one or two word answers and I intend to look at this when I get back on Sunday evening.

These threads are really no different to Adam's in my view and they are just from the last couple of days.
There are no views of the OP just questions.

[immense]

Yes because those are two words long :rolleyes:

In fact, I only clicked 5 and one of them had my opinion in and the others asked questions prompting discussion. How dare people prompt discussion on a forum?!

Just my opinion, Jake. Nothing personal so there is no need for sarcasm :P I have always held the view that quality threads are what has made Habbox what it is but obviously other members have other opinions such as yourself.l

[immense]

Also both times I posted in spam asking if they wanted threads, both times the answer was yes. I posted one thread asking if I post too much and the answer no not too much and users enjoy it.

Well that's fine and you are entitled to your view. I see we should agree to disagree. It's not a personal attack on you.

Yawn.

lmao at that link you posted


As of late, the term spam has begun to take on a new meaning and has entered the American lexicon, with it being used to denote not only electronic, but also other variations of advertisements seen as being annoying or inappropriate.

Lo and behold it's not an acronym. Congratulations, you're now backing folk etymology, go you.

[Kyle]

Those that start threads with two-word questions usually go on to explain their views further on in the threads. Starting a thread with a question offers other users an opportunity to present their views first, before the OP gets their chance to talk.

You wouldn't usually start a discussion irl (Granted, a forum isn't irl) with something along the lines of "What do you think of *topic*, my view is that *view*". You would ask a question, wait for an answer, then give your view.

Yes, the majority of these topics could be seen as spamming the forum but I, and many other members, don't really give a hoot. The forum is active for once.

Oh, and Jake, 'stupid pointless annoying message' is a false etymology.

[immense]

see, even kyle has returned. this is fabulous. hi kyle.

[W00TZEH]

Just leave it to one a day ye ok? im in charge here

[immense]

a lot of my threads are in spam anyway you cheeky lot

[Adamm]

no they're not.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE THREADS THAT JAKE HAS MADE AND THE THREADS THAT I HAVE MADE.

Or are you too starstruck to see this?

[Dan2nd]

Personally I see no problem with it some of the threads that have been started by Jake have actually turned into a really good discussion

[Tintinnabulate]

I can understand what Catzsy is saying (which Garion also reinforced in a different thread) that Habbox is known for its quality.

[immense]

adam - i've made more posts in spam since i've been back. so yeha, they are.

saurav - yeah, their quality skins, graphics, design and overall layouts lolol

p.s. my threads have produced thousands of posts, i looked at all other big forums when i started the posts at the bottom of the forum and atm hxf have gone up by more than any one of them which wouldn't have been the case otherwise.

[W00TZEH]

It's just Jake trying to boost his ego, 'habbox is dead without me' so just don't take the bait :)

[FlyingJesus]

I wouldn't say most are sparking "discussion" actually - it tends to be people posting their answer and then that's it for the most part... other than Jake replying to everything like the old version of Kyle

not at all, habbox will continue with or without me. sure i'm the most active poster, doesn't mean i am habbox. common misconception about me. if i wanted everyone to be like wow it's jake!! i'd get my name back to immenseman, i won't ever do that. almost, good try.

and @ tom, people are posting their replies yes, like you just posted yours :S

You know what they say though, Jake. 'Doesn't matter what the package looks like it's the content that matters' although I don't see anything wrong with the skins, graphics, design and overall layouts. I suppose it's a matter of choice and there is always room for improvement on any forum/website.

[FlyingJesus]

I don't believe I ever said they weren't posting replies, just that it wasn't leading to much actual discussion.

[immense]

Since 2006 people have been posting their answers to questions posted on the forum. Sue them.

I have seen 4 threads which have been posted within the last week being re-posted. People really need to use the search.php page. It exists for a reason. Or a quick glance on the first 3 pages will tell you if it exists. Its getting a bit annoying seeing repeats of the same threads.

Secondly threads such as this (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=644936&p=6479378#post6479378) doesn't really prompt a discussion.

Person 1: Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
Person 2: no
Person 1: Omg why
Person 2: Cos I cant
Person 1: Omg why though

Yeah, thats an amazing discussion.

Its the perfect way of turning habboxforum for being known for having great discussions to having pointless discussions.

[Adamm]

threads shoukd be created by the thread starter because they are interested, not just for prompting discussion.

[immense]

i am very interested in all my threads

I have had a look for the 4 threads and I think they have been closed? I agree Saurav, with the contents of your post.
@ Jake - I have to say whilst maybe your last post was a bit flippant it did make me laugh.

[Black_Apalachi]

I'm all for getting discussion going as much as possible, but when a forum section goes from one or two recent threads to two pages worth of recent threads, it is slightly overwhelming. I'm sure it would be a lot more favourable to have a few decent discussion topics every few days rather than a dozen vague, quantitative, one-word-answer questions in a single day and then no more for a month.

[AaronOnlineKid]

Hopefully it wont get moved again >.<

[W00TZEH]

hi

this is getting annoying now, going on a forum to read previous threads only to find that they're all on the 2nd page.

thanks.

[Nixt]

I kind of agree that creating only a few threads per day is a little more beneficial than posting a dozen at once. Nevertheless I don't think it's a really bad thing providing they are properly moderated and so we're not going to stop members from doing it.
