If people stick to the rules outlined in the original post there's no reason why it can't stay where it is ;)

I think the fact they're just spamming images in some cases though it's annoying. I posted once and felt it pointless but I don't mind if it stays :P. However, it says don't post nudity but like Katy Perry covering her boobs could be nudity to some and not others.

lmao that thread should so be in spam, or have post count disabled. see far too many threads moved to spam because of pointless posting and what-not. i remember my 'post what you last purchased' thread was moved to spam because of two posts which were pointless.

People already do that with other post your threads..

Personally think it should be in the spam forum, but then I'm sure someone will argue that the 'What was the last thing you' threads should be in spam too. :P

Think we needa special subforum in general forums with no post count for these special 'post your..' threads since there seems to be quite a few of them pop up during the year haha. Like a place for one word threads which aren't really discussion but still are interesting to some people and different to 'spam' to keep it seperate.

fairly sure the idea was posted for mods to decide or something like that before jordan actually posted/stickied it so...

also if it were to be moved to spam every post a _______ / post your ____ thread should be moved to spam as well.

I think we all need to realise these sort of threads are not going to have a solution to them unless we make a sub forum for the similar threads with post count disabled. But that idea was turned down. We've already told you that moving them to spam would kill the discussion straight away and most likely have different discussions within the thread. The thread was not intended to be there for abuse and at the moment no one has abused it. Like any other thread like this, people get told off we feel they are doing just that.

I don't even know why this hasn't been moved yet? Andiis 'post hunger games pictures' was moved to spam and how is that any different from that?! I ain't a fan of any of the post whatever threads and giving them their own sections seems like a good idea.

I don't understand what it is about this forum, we seem to have people arguing for less forum posts being made at a time when the forum needs more posts. And before somebody says about quality/quantity I know, but at the end of the day if you have a ghost forum then you won't have any quality posts made because there won't be the members left to make them.

Personally myself i'd allow post count in Spam to count, just maybe introduce a rule that you have to wait for somebody to respond before you can post again.

Seeing as you told people not to post if they don't have an image that already killed the discussion pretty much :rolleyes:.

HabboxForum has to be the only forum I've seen who has these sort of problems where people complain about certain threads such as this. We either have them, move them all to a sub-forum with no post count or ban them altogether.

OMG TRUE TRUE !!!!!! BACKING YOU UP 100% my hunger games thread was to see more images and interesting ones on hunger games which personally i wouldn't have called spam but yet the mods moved it like 10mins after and was not happy at all about that cause now i couldn't see anything posted no more =[

THIS THREAD DEFO NEEDS MOVED TO SPAM OR THERE WILL BE LOADS OF OTHER POST YOUR THREADS :D created by myself obv and others

Instead of doing that why don't you help us come up with a good outcome by using one of the 3 suggestions Matt posted. Keep them as they are, ban them altogether or create a separate forum for them?

I know a few people in the moderation team agreed with doing this last time this propped up and some other members did like the idea too but it got turned down which was a shame.

How about moving the picture thread to spam and then everyone gets on with their lives?

You guys must have known making that thread outside of spam would cause trouble so why do it

We have all the post your threads or whatever they're called which tbh I don't really mind but POST A RANDOM IMAGE is just taking the piss

That won't be the only issue here because that thread would then get derailed but it works on other forums, just not Habbox. You could also argue all of the other "Post Your" threads should be moved to spam such as the music one. Which If I remember correctly is what some members wanted as they didn't think it had any discussion purposes whatsoever.

But with threads such as post your favorite city etc people can then be like oh i went their its lovely etc and actually strike up a conversation with someone where as this type of thread for just images only is more pointless and stupid than half the threads in spam

People could reply back to the pictures thread either. To be fair, the reason you just said could be said to any type of "Post your threads" in theory.

Yeah forget that rule (in terms of this thread) but in theory you could to any sort of post your threads as the others don't have rules.

Well then, the others still have the possibility to generate some conversation then. The picture thread just seems so much more pointless than the others? There has been other threads to post picture and they were moved to spam so what makes this any different?

Yes but it always goes back to the many threads we have had before where it involves all of them.

If your life stops based on a thread being in a specific forum then that's perhaps something you should look into.

It says don't post unless you're posting a picture

You can reply with a comment or even take part in a discussion with others in the thread as long as your post contains a picture

This has the opportunity to generate a conversation as well.

I'm fairly sure 99% of the 'Post what you're listening to' users don't even look at posts and just instantly post to get +1

It's no more pointless than any other 'post you...' threads especially ones like post what you're currently wearing, lol.

I have a feeling that a separate forum with no post count wouldn't work either since I suspect a lot of posts do not arise from genuine interest.

Minus the post what your listening to, the others topics mean you have to wait some time to post. Like the tv one or the what time did you wake up. This you could literally team up with someone and constantly spam images.

And then a moderator would notice this either by themselves or by someone reporting the user and something would be done :P!

I personally would like a one post per page (Default posts per page) or one post per 24 hours (Whichever is sooner) limit on "post your" threads unless the posts directly involve discussion, particularly the ones which get a lot of traffic such as listening and watching. It's basically the same unspoken rule which the technology forum has.

I post in the 'Post what you're listening to' thread and also read through it to see what others listen to. There was a huge thread about this before where various other members also agreed

Also Red;

If anyone's tragic enough to pair up with someone else to increase their post count, I will genuinely be shocked.
