Spam threads should be deleted

[Apple]

In my opinion, threads such as "What are you listening to?" and "What is the weather like where you live now?" are no better than spam. The conversation between members in these threads is non existent, it seems the only thing that the majority of people who post in these threads have in mind is post count.

I know that steps have already been made to ensure threads encouraging pointless posts are not allowed however these types of threads are no different and belong in spam. Do you really think that "What are you listening to now?" would have over 15 thousand replies if it was in spam?

I wasn't surprised to see the highest poster of the month has the most posts by far in one of these spam threads. Obviously a little annoyed as I refrained from posting in those types of threads and I came 2nd. :P

[mr.tom]

i think they can be nice when people talk about things in them too but i see what you mean, they should be moved to the spam forums imo

[Jordan]

Actually when James posted that there was going to be a Poster of the month, it said that posting in those sort of threads often would be seen and posts would of been deducted.

And I post in there once a day.

And I post in there once a day.Which is exactly why it should be gone. If people know its spam, and in a posting competition is acknowledged as spam, surely it should be spam? None of this 'oh but therse a couple exceptions' nonsense.

[Jordan]

Yes, It is partly in spam, but this discussion has proped up before, and James has said it's staying as it is.

[Callum.]

Habbox has always had them, not that I've ever really posted in them, but history should stay.

I agree, I've said it before but just got flamed. Any of those threads are pointless but management don't like to admit it.

[Neversoft]

I really don't see why some people have a problem with post count. If people want to get a high post count then why shouldn't they? It doesn't affect you in the slightest. Plus you can't complain about the person who won poster of the month replying in 'what are you listening to?' because you could have easily done the same only you chose not to. I really don't see the need for these threads to be in spam where they will probably just die off. I find them to be an interesting read. I myself have searched the 'what are you listening to?' thread many, many times just to see if people listened to the same music I did. They're good topics, lets not ruin them, okay?

A fact that you seem to enjoying abusing the hell out of (http://www.habboxforum.com/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=659324). Managerial reluctance to change is hardly sufficient reason for having regulated spam across the board which contributes nothing at all and requires no interesting user input while people having active conversations are punished with "off topic" warnings and get relegated to spam.

"They do no harm" and the ever-popular "omg why do you care about post count?!?" are irrelevant as it's still abuse of the system, especially when there are rank rewards for members with higher post counts and people are able to reap these rewards without actually being of any use whatsoever to the forum. We were right when this was brought up about Forum Games, and the situation isn't different now, it's just in different places

I said above, I post in there once a day... So It's been 93 days since it's been posted, and I've posted 92 times? :S
Anyway moving the What are you's will kill them out.

[Chippiewill]

The fact is, if there is no 'threaded' discussion, then it is spam. If people do not react or respond to other peoples posts (Unlike in the technology forum Post Dekstop/Setup) then it is basically spam and pointless and should be labelled as such. It is just like forum games. there used to be a rules preventing these threads from being created with management permission to prevent spammable threads. I remember when I used to use forum games a lot, it was possible to get 50 posts in one night just from that, I expect these threads are just the same.

[FlyingJesus]

I said above, I post in there once a day... So It's been 93 days since it's been posted, and I've posted 92 times? :S

And how many of those posts helped to create or further some sort of discussion?


Anyway moving the What are you's will kill them out.

That's kind of our point. If no-one would post in them without the post count it proves that they're just being abused as a tool, same as forum games were before

[Callum.]

How many posts did you get this month Jordos?

That post didn't actually make a valid point. How is it abusing the system? That's just a bizarre line of argument to create. Everybody is on level pegging. If people want to get a higher post count then let them - it's not abusing any sort of system. Certainly not like you and others abused the reputation system in the past anyway. Yet you have defended reputation being reset before just because you want your status on here. Likewise, if people want to build up status in the form of post-count and use these threads to do then why the hell not? It certainly isn't abusing any system.

[FlyingJesus]

The reputation system's different in that if you get lots of reps that's obviously because you're viewed highly and have in some way earned it - it's a cumulative thing which if allowed to be used properly mimicks real life by allowing those of greater esteem to have a larger effect on the reputation of others, much like how in school if the most popular kid doesn't like someone it has a bigger effect on their standing amongst peers than if the caretaker or lunch lady takes a disliking to them. Regardless of that, there are no extras that you get on forum for having high rep other than rep power, so you couldn't use the same argument against it.

People getting access to actual rewards (rather than the perceived/ego rewards of reputation) by utilising management's inability to realise that staying on topic isn't necessarily the same thing as a good post/thread is abuse of the system, because they're getting rewarded without helping the forum in any way. The features you get for having a high post count are supposed to be a thank-you for being an active and valuable member of the forum, and as keeps being said, threads such as those mentioned here are of no value.

Exactly, posts are to convince people to stay at an active and engaging forum (Which is why there are rewards for making posts) rather than to be made in threads where people can not reply to them (People should not be rewarded for making low quality posts that take five seconds). Posts which cannot be replied to (Without sounding REALLY weird) should be considered as spam as they contribute nothing except wasted Bandwidth and time.

I totally agree, but I don't think management really care about the bandwidth once the forums active :P

Agreed. One thing about Habbox Forum that could always be guaranteed was that members posting to get their post count up would be contacted almost immediately thus ensuring that there was content of good quality for members to read and reply to. As far as I know pointless posts and threads are still against the rules. I would consider that starting a thread and just asking a question without giving an opinion is pointless and only done for one reason. I hope the leniency is not a panic measure just to give the impression that the forum is more active because if it is the quality of this forum is going to plummet and just be left to the spammers and the egotists.

Well said, but thats all it is for, quatity not quality and we know it, otherwise they would of too action looking at the complaints already.

If they were in spam they wouldn't be anywhere near as popular. A thread the other day was moved to spam, had around ten replies before it was moved to spam, and got two more after - even though it has been in spam for longer.

That's my dislike for them.

[Sharon]

Don't see the massive harm in having them - it's a good post raiser and it's normally what newer members post in to get a post count.

You missed damn right stupid - What are you listening to? is one of the longest running threads on HabboxForum, to turn it to spam would be a stupid mistake, we all know if a thread like that was in spam it'd stay on topic for 5 minutes. Neversoft made some very good points regarding why this thread should be where it is.

It's not often Jake and I see eye to eye, however he's nailed this one on the head with this post, his recent thread spree has been managed well by the moderation team and any "spamlike" threads have been moved to spam as stated they should be in this thread, the other threads Jake has posted have raised quite worthwhile discussions and you guys should be giving him rep not moaning about them, OMG THREADS ARE BEING MADE ON THE FORUM? WTF????

[immense]

Post A Pic was removed from spam because people were being bullied. Now they're not. Perhaps people would be bullied if they listened to music other people thought was odd. Are you promoting bullying? Or are you just wanting to rip all history out of the forum - some of these threads have been up for years and have never caused any issues. It's always the same people who have been here for a while with high posts that don't want them gone. It makes me laugh. These threads are some of the most important - it allows new users to establish themselves and fit in with the community. Something HxF needs. Maybe, as well as promoting bullying you want HxF to fail.

If you knew anything about the moderation, like Hecktix who has replied you will see a lot of my threads have been moved to spam. Even ones which were created years ago and allowed to stay in Discuss Anything - being here for just over 3 years perhaps you don't understand the history of some of the mentioned threads. To add, I think it's very unlikely I'm going to overtake my 18,500 posts on my Immenseman account. I post actively - not to overtake my old account because I'm a chatty person. You're the one with your post count in your sig - get over it.

No it doesn't, it allows people like you to spam your way back into a high post count. You said it yourself. The age of the thread is moot, rules are RULES. There will be no bullying since there is no discussion, people genuinely couldn't care less about what you're listening to as is evident from the posts in that thread. It only serves to boost the post count of people like you.

I find it funny how you keep rattling on about me and my post count but like I've already mentioned you're the overly cool kid who has their post count in their signature. Trying to prove a point about posting? Go you. We can see it in your user bit, thanks. Also, you pick and choose which bits to reply to because I have trumped you. They serve an essential role in allowing new users to become established on the forum. As FlyingJesus has pointed out before, members don't persevere with this forum. Perhaps they find it to hard to break into. If this is the case they will find it considerably harder by moving these threads into spam. Which won't happen anyway as General Management oppose the idea. Checkmate.

Again, you go back to the same baseline. The pros outweigh the cons. In response to your irrelevant point just so you can sleep easy. Numerous times in threads like PAPOY and Post What You're Listening To there has been some discussion. "Cool was that picture taken in Ireland - I went there, here's one of me there: IMG" or something like "YAY you're listening to MCR, I love that band!"

Out of curiosity, do you understand what discussion is?

And you'll notice the ones that only produce 1 - 2 word answers get moved.

I've just looked over about 8 pages, there was one event of discussion in EIGHT pages, I also have my account set to forty posts per page so to put it into your terms that's 320 posts with one post of discussion.

If you actually read the posts in the thread (is that really too much to ask for some people) you would have seen quite clearly there are more reasons for keeping them. All you moaners come back with is "there is no diskushun". Sometimes in health forums and I ask a question, everyone replies to my opening post rather than the ones in the thread and therefore aren't discussing the topic - but answering/replying. Same can be applied to the thread you mentioned.

It's a forum. Hence the name, Habbox FORUM - I thought even you would be able to work that one. In addition, you don't use these threads, there are plenty of newer users 2009 onwards who are trying to get a bigger post count to establish themselves. Is that doing any harm? Is it ****. Is it harming you or anybody else? No. Just because you've been here a bit longer you have forgotten what it's like to be a newb. I know you haven't been here very long in comparison to some people and that leads me onto my next point, maybe you don't understand Habbox and what it's about. A fun place. Fun. Fun. Would you like a dictionary definition for the word fun? Stop trying to squash it all.

Evidence for this? Personally the day the management started panicing about number of threads posted and how many users were online is the day this forum started to go downhill.
If I remember rightly there were virually just about two members banging on about habbox being less popular. Quite honestly It is seems the londer you shout and the more dominant you are the more you appreciated these days even if the threads can be moved to spam - it means that the person was spamming in the first place and continuing to do it all the time should mean action is taken. I do not believe that the FM or AGM (staff) have taken the right decision on this occasion and in fact it has the reverse effect of putting valuable members off the forum.
At the end of the day, Jake, Habbox Forum is not all about 'you'.
