Post any images

[Calvin]

When did the Photography/Other Images section get so boring that there was a need for a thread where users post any images? :P

Shouldn't it go in Spam considering they're nothing you can comment on, and certain users are just doing it for a higher post count?

[David]

agreed, even if you do comment you get edited for it lol

[Calvin]

agreed, even if you do comment you get edited for it lolWow, are you serious? If anybody wanted a page full of rubbish images then I'm sure they'd go to somewhere like FunnyJunk or use Google images..

Waits for this thread to turn into a thread about all the other threads.

Waits for this thread to turn into a thread about all the other threads.I think even post what you're listening to has more discussion than the post your images thread.. and why aren't people allowed to talk about the images anyway without getting edited?

[Samantha]

I think it's obvious that it should be in spam, I don't get its purpose whatsoever. If I wanted to post a random image I would use spam, I would just make a new thread and I believe it's the incentive of the post count that makes it get so many replies, and the fact it's stickied. Yeah it was ok for a while but I thought discussions were meant to be made, not just an image whereby you can't post unless there's another image you've posted too?

I remember the PAPOY thread used to (not sure if it still does) say that you can't edit your images like on graphic programmes but a lot of them are? Some of the comments in there aren't that much on topic but at least it's discussion unlike the images thread.

I'm pretty sure you can but you just need to post another image with it.

Must have been an old rule then? As I remember you weren't allowed to post pictures of celebrities before either.

[xxMATTGxx]

Must have been an old rule then? As I remember you weren't allowed to post pictures of celebrities before either.

Celebrities is different and you can if you are releating it to another member under this rule:


1B) You may post pictures of famous people, but only in reference to another picture (for example: "Oh, I think you look like Johnny Depp [picture here]"), if your post is found pointless and nothing to do with anything in this thread; it WILL be removed. (Same goes for random google images).

But in regards of edited photos that must have been a while back, not something we would try and block nowadays.

Yeah beforehand celebrities weren't allowed, must have been a while back too. I remember because I met Phil Taylor but didn't post the picture due to the rule :P.

[xxMATTGxx]

Yeah beforehand celebrities weren't allowed, must have been a while back too. I remember because I met Phil Taylor but didn't post the picture due to the rule :P.

If you had a photo with her then that wouldn't be a problem. I believe the older rule was put into place so users just didn't go into the thread and just post celebrities. But if you have had a photo with a celebrity or you are saying this member looks like this person then that is not an issue at all.

[Richie]

It makes no sense at all. The thread doesn't create discussion, it can't, if someone replies to an image they get an edit. You have two options 1) Chuck the thread in spam or 2) Let people reply to images, otherwise it just makes the rules look ridiculous.

You can reply to images, as mentioned in this thread twice, in the original thread and in every thread thats mentioned this.

"No nudity, adult or offensive material.
No images that avoid the forum filter.
Although not a rule, please try to avoid posting duplicates.
If you post at all you must post a random image."

In no way states you aren't allowed to comment.

All stupid threads like 'What are you listening to?', 'What are you eating?', 'Post a random image?' should be removed. So what if they have been around a long time, they're pointless and it is quite obvious these threads have only been created for post count, nothing else. Lets be honest, without sounding rude, no-one gives two craps about what you're eating, listening to or chuckle at a random purple elephant you post.

It isn't about me, it's about having stupid threads that create no discussion. If that was the answer to everthing people would post pointless stuff that normally goes in spam, in other forums and just say WELL... IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY POST OR THINK IT'S POINTLESS, DON'T READ IT.. these threads have been and still are directly breaking the pointless post rule.



A7 ~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion.If I'm honest I don't really give a **** though, if you guys want the forum to be full of stupid spam threads, I don't care. I wouldn't go out of my way these days to try get them removed but since there is a feedback thread on it I thought i'd show my opinion.

and a very few threads that break this rule are allowed/approved by management.

not going to argue the exact same point that was argued last week.

Like I said, I don't give a crap if they decide to keep them or not but for god sake if they're going to allow them at least alter the bloody rules so the forum rules doesn't contradict managements decision.

I don't think it's a huge deal that there's a thread for posting random pictures. It's all fun, and some love looking at pictures. It's not really bothering anyone. I don't see the problem. It brings more people to the forums that might be attracted to it. I personally love that they have it. I'd cry if they deleted it. Same with the "what are you listening to now" thread, along with the others. They're just a fun thing to do if you're bored.

[The Don]

I hate the thread and think people just use it to get their post count up, admittedly the same can be said for the other threads but at least some discussion can stem from them...

[Grig]

Post Any Images should be in spam because it is spam. A forum is to discuss, this is how post count goes up.

The fact there's a discussion over this, with people defending its place within the photography forums is so so stupid. But then again I do see many silly things going on, so it doesn't surprise me. Might as well a move KKK to discuss anything if people are following this stupid principle.

[Calvin]

Not when it's against the rules to abuse the thread ;)Unfortunately that post you quoted was only posted in that thread which I haven't viewed before now and not in the actual thread so it would be unfair to give users a warning or remove posts if they did this.

^ This entire thread has more discussion than that "Post Any Images" forum is going to get tbh. And loook where that thread is.. "spam".

I really cannot see the difference...

Post any images: Post any image you like and a discussion could take place.
Spam thread where images are posted (i.e. above): Post any image you like and a discussion could take place.

If you want the thread, either move it to spam or just disable post count in it. It's really quite ridiculous that I can gain post count by grabbing one of billions/trillions of images on google.

[Richie]

@Habbic (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=53890); Why is it such a big deal if it's moved to spam? The only arguments I can come up with is, you want to increase your post count or the thread will die, the only reason the thread will die is because post count will be disabled so no-one will bother posting stupid pointless images. Maybe you enjoy the thread Scott and are genuine about it (Still doesn't mean it isn't pointless) but the majority who post in that thread just want to raise their post count, lets be honest.

As for post any images, none whatsoever because they can go into other categories and most of them you can't discuss anyway."

[scottish]

In regard to other thread;


I had no reason to cry, you did because you lost your lovely 89 posts.

And it is constructive as I was discussing the topic and check my edit. :)

I've not lost any post count until whenever it gets updated ;) And I also couldn't care less about post count lol, if I did I'd attempt to get previous accounts unbanned and merged for an extra 2k+ post count per account ;)

It wasn't constructive, you're attempting to boast or whatever over something I ultimately couldn't care less about (if you read the thread I linked you twice you'd see ;)) but what I do disagree with is moving one but leaving the rest because they have significantly higher activity (i.e. most abused for post count).



as Lee; appears to be incapable of merging a thread.

[FlyingJesus]

I love the way that the genuine issue of certain pointless threads can be shrugged off by management simply saying "lol I knew you'd mention that!!!!!" as though that's an actual reason to do nothing about it rather than thinking that perhaps there's actually something to the argument if it comes up this often

Images can promote as much discussion, but the fact is it does not happen.

From what I've heard and i'm not going to look through every post on it as that thread has always seemed rather creepy, no-one comments on others.

Well as i've said from the beginning, I agree that it doesn't promote much discussion but neither do the other threads, so if one is removed they all should.

It has the ability to create discussion, but people aren't bothered with discussing, exact same as what your eating/listening to/wearing.

Literally the worst argument ever made concerning this. If it's "just a number" then surely no-one should complain if these (pointless) threads didn't have a post count, as obviously they're just such good threads that people would totes post in them just as much without the post count, right?

Yeah they are and I agree, however if management are set on not moving them (as we've seen in the past), then there's little that can be done! If you move one then they all need to be moved, but this will seriously damage activity in some of the forums which is a negative I suppose.

Which is exactly the problem, mattg has moved one of the threads so I'm asking why the rest aren't

If it wasn't moved I wouldn't mind, but moving one and leaving the rest that are breaking the exact same rule is just stupid surely?

[xxMATTGxx]

Right there is two options here:

1. Move "Post any images" back to where it was and leave any other threads.

2. Move all threads to spam/forum games or a sub-forum.

But there is still a lot of people who won't like either one. The poll vote was for number one but here we see again another thread being created saying it is stupid to have a thread such as "Post any images" have post count. So If we did go for number one, we would then also ignore any future threads that complain about them because otherwise we'll be having this discussion every month.

Create another section for threads like these and disable post count. People are saying their precious threads would be bombarded with nonsense if moved to spam (which doesn't make sense 'cause every one of those threads contain nonsense). So the only option would be to move all these threads into an new forum 'other' or something along those lines and disable post count.

3. Move the ****** post any images thread to spam and leave the rest how they are since discussion can be created within them whereas the image thread is solely for posting images which destroys any type of discussion

And then ignore any future threads that complain why that specific thread was moved and not the rest.

If anyone can point me to the conversation in what are you listening to that would be corking. Pretty sure that the thread having "potential for discussion" doesn't mean that the several thousand posts with none whatsoever aren't rulebreaking

I said discussion can be created, never said there is a conversation in there atm, but there's more hope for it rather than the post any images thread :P

[FlyingJesus]

Yes but that's rather like saying "I made a thread about opinions on monarchy vs republic and because the premise is pure, the fact that people spent the entire thread just posting the names of monarchs and presidents isn't an issue"

[MKR&*42]

Tbh I only like "What are you listening to" because it reminds me of certain songs. Admittedly there's very little discussion, but there is a lot of potential there.

[The Don]

You are entirely correct, I am being biased however you must realise that the premise of the post any random image thread is absolutely ridiculous and nothing more can come from it other than spam, whereas the other threads do have a slight chance to produce discussion. However I'm not too fussed whether they all get chucked in spam if it means the post any images thread gets moved...

[scottish]

Right there is two options here:

1. Move "Post any images" back to where it was and leave any other threads.

2. Move all threads to spam/forum games or a sub-forum.

But there is still a lot of people who won't like either one. The poll vote was for number one but here we see again another thread being created saying it is stupid to have a thread such as "Post any images" have post count. So If we did go for number one, we would then also ignore any future threads that complain about them because otherwise we'll be having this discussion every month.

what's going on then?

[xxMATTGxx]

Can you move it back to other graphics until you decide what to do then.So you can get a temporary +90 post count? ;)

[scottish]

Not everyone is obsessed with post count like yourself ;)

and no, I don't see the point in it being in forum games and the others left, so they need to come to a decision to move them all or leave them alone (as the majority already voted to do...)

Leaving it alone and ignoring this thread just leaves room to forget about it, so should revert their actions and finally make a decision.

[Chris]

Ok it's been moved back to it's original forum. We are going to be sticking by the poll results from the other thread.

[Calvin]

Not everyone is obsessed with post count like yourself ;)
Right then, because I'm the one who desperately wants a thread back just to raise my post count a little higher? Makes sense.

The others should stay as I've already said because they can bring up discussion, whereas the "post any images" thread has none at all and they can all be posted in other categories.

edit; now that it's been moved, watch scottish; suddenly start posting in there. ;)

If you've read any reply or post i've made you'd realise where i'm coming from instead of being stupid and automatically going "OMGZ POST COUTNZLMZZLMZ EJHEKHEHEHEH"

I've posted several times stating I honestly couldn't care if every Post your ___ thread got moved and we lost post count for every thread, I disagree with moving ONE thread and leaving the rest which break the same rule, and promote as little discussion as this one does.

Thanks chris.

Wow so despite the fact that literally everyone except Dan accepts that these threads are utterly pointless, it's been moved back and turned into a non-issue just because it's easier for Chris to do that than actually run the forum properly. Lovesit

No, it was reverted back because of the poll results. Like I said before, had the poll results have said yes to moving them then that is what would have happened.

[Samantha]

I severly doubt that. I believe that if you'd have made a forum for these threads you'd have probably kept the ones previous where they were and just moved any new ones there.

Anyway, don't see the discussion isn't it, a mod made the thread so probably staying, I don't post in it so I won't cry over it.

[MKR&*42]

We've already had this discussion here. http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=757833. Post count is just a number, it does not matter and will not have an effect on your life.

I was just about to congratulate the decision that it had been moved...

FUUUUUUUUUU.....

[xxMATTGxx]

Revote?

One where people have to actually state reasons and not have them be easily refutable would be nice - logic is a wonderful thing when making decisions

Do that and everyone will hit you, because people will always complain no matter what the end result of the poll is tbh.

[Kardan]

Revote?

I'm biased, so of course I'll say yes...

On the other hand, if we have a revote the outcome will be the same as before, 'Yes' to the threads being moved, but then will the poll reopen and magically become 'No'? :P

But yeah, everyone knows where I stand on it all, don't let post count be anbled on any of the pointless threads.

[xxMATTGxx]

Do that and everyone will hit you, because people will always complain no matter what the end result of the poll is tbh.

That is very true to be honest. I think regardless of the outcome there will be users on both sides who will either be happy or unhappy. Most will be unhappy as their post count will reduce quite a lot depending on how much they have posted in such threads.

[Kardan]

I don't see why the forum is so against removing post count? Surely if people were bothered by post count decreasing, they should post more things in actual discussion threads?

The users who have posted in those threads are the ones who would be against the most. Also are threads like: Post your setup, post your desktop considered pointless or do the at least contribute something?

[Kardan]

The users who have posted in those threads are the ones who would be against the most. Also are threads like: Post your setup, post your desktop considered pointless or do the at least contribute something?

My view on it is quite simple.

'Post your setup', realistically you can't post in that thread every few hours with your new computer setup, heck, not even every week. The same with 'Post your desktop.

'Post your setup' does create discussion because people are interested in their one-off posts. Nobody is interested that some girl has wore jeans and a t-shirt and then pyjamas the last 28 days in a row. Of course the discussion value of each thread is different to everyone, but some are much more clear than others.

[FlyingJesus]

Surely it's fairly simple to discern between threads that have conversation and threads that don't? And then with any that do have actual discussions that are left in their places (post your setup supposedly does although I haven't looked through it myself) it would be easy enough to just moderate it as you would any other legitimate thread, editing/warning those posts which aren't contributing anything at all

[MKR&*42]

I don't see why the forum is so against removing post count? Surely if people were bothered by post count decreasing, they should post more things in actual discussion threads?

And thus require them to think of well thought out statements which require effort, what a silly idea to suggest to people who gain 100s of posts a month simply by stating their music taste, what film they watch, a random image etc ;) If the users who have posted loads in these threads (AND YES ADMITTEDLY I HAVE 150 POSTS IN THE "WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO" THREAD) are doing it over a long period of time, then they won't adjust to "genuine discussion" and will therefore complain once their easy method of gaining post count diminishes because they might actually have to type more than 10 words.

I'm not saying everyone who posts in those threads can't create a genuine discussion on the forum, but it's just a lazy route to getting the post count. Especially by grabbing a damn bloody image from google images.

[Martin]

That is very true to be honest. I think regardless of the outcome there will be users on both sides who will either be happy or unhappy. Most will be unhappy as their post count will reduce quite a lot depending on how much they have posted in such threads.

Why would anyone have to lose post count anyway though? Couldn't you just close the current threads, use the copy thread tool to copy them accross to wherever they are going (new subforum or w.e for threads which dont have discussion), therefore leaving the original threads (unstuck though ofc) where they were, and post count not being changed and so their post counts won't reduce.

The copied threads would obviously be in a place where post count is then disabled, meaning both sides are happy. Perhaps people werent aware when they voted that it could be made so no current post counts would be lost/changed. If people want to up their post count then hopefully they will then look at posting in threads which do have lots of discussion in them if the pointless ones are out the way.

I think this was always going to be the problem with polls, even if you do go by the results you are going to have a split between peoples opinions afterwards. I don't personally see what harm it would have done to trial such a thing anyway, since I guess if current threads are allowed there isn't really much to stop people thinking its okay to create new ones similar.

[xxMATTGxx]

Here's my view but doesn't mean it will get applied because Chris hates me for saying revote :'(


Move all the threads into a new-sub forum with post count disabled. This sub-forum will be a place for the threads that do not create discussion at all or very little. Such as: Post any images, what you've just ate, what you are listening to.

The original place of the threads would still have a link to the moved threads so they can be accessible with ease (redirects)

Threads that can't actually be used to spam or do at least have some decent discussion should remain such as: desktops and setups. Those threads have rules in place about spamming anyway.



Yes post count will go down from the users who used it the most. But is it deserved post count? It should be about quality and not quantity. MissAlice;'s quote)

Think that sounds like a good, fair idea Matt :) and I agree about the techy ones such as desktops etc, since it is hard to use those purely for post count/spam them and they are actually interesting and can promote some discussion. I am glad you are thinking about giving this a go though and don't really see the harm in trying it- especially when people don't have to lose any of their current post count at all, and it will keep these type of threads seperate from actual discussion.

[scottish]

Then it's one member of management saying they're going with poll, and another saying no :P

Perhaps management need to have a discussion and figure if they're actually going to listen to the poll (honestly couldn't care less if they all got moved or stayed, but having a poll and ignoring the results is fairly pointless, as what would be the point in the poll? :P)

Think the redirects would be a cool idea, so to people it would feel like they are there but they arent really! (if thats makes sense :()

but I do also think it would be a good idea to just copy the original threads to their new location (then close/unstick them) rather than move them, so that nobody loses any of the post count they currently have, but it starts from a fresh with no post count enabled from the point you copy it. I can't really see anyone having an issue with it if its done that way because they arent really losing anything, and it just makes it more organised for future and solves the problem really.

[Calvin]

That sounds good :) I think as long as its made clear in the description what its for it will be fine. With like examples or something. Then maybe a short thread could be made/stuck within the new subforum too with a few guidelines saying what kind of threads the subforum is for (threads which have one word replies, or require you to post a certain thing that does not promote discussion etc), and basically telling people to stay with the topic and not post unrelated crap (since that would basically be spam) :P


I'm not sure about it being in discuss anything though, since there is nothing to be discussed in these threads really, and it might confuse some people into thinking what they can/cannot post etc.

Spam is for pointless threads/no post count so I'm not sure if it would be better suited as a subforum within spam. It's a tricky one really.

[Kardan]

Just as an example to how much spam goes on, one user just posted a song in the music thread which lasts 4 minutes and 50 seconds, and 3 minutes later posts a new song.

We did actually listen to the users we just decided to change the decision of that weeks down the line. Poll isn't a concrete decision and management will always have the last say on what happens and what doesn't happen on Habbox. It does mean we can change our decision as well :P

Plus the options on the poll weren't that great and I don't believe there was one where you could keep the post count but a copy of the thread would be moved to the new section.

[Kardan]

Glad to see the issue is sorted, should there be a sticky thread stating the guidelines for the forum and what threads should be created, or will threads created elsewhere be moved if needed?

[hamheyelliot]

I like it, but I definitely think the section description:

"This section is for threads that only allow for short replies and little discussion."

is a bit off-putting, it makes me wonder why people would even bother posting there - to me it's kind of saying "we're aware this stuff was pretty much for the sake of your post count before, what the hell are you doing here nowadays"

I like it, but I definitely think the section description:

"This section is for threads that only allow for short replies and little discussion."

I think it's fine, I mean, why would you want to post that you are wearing jeans and a T-Shirt every single day... :P But it's there if people want too :)

I suppose you're right, something tells me it'll spiral down a bit though unless people make some slightly more engaging threads

Then surely that shows people were just abusing it for post count?

[lawrawrrr]

well yes they basically were.....

Ok now thats sorted brings me to the next question

why did you add a poll to the previous thread complaining about this if you have no intention of listening to the users?


-waits for @scottish (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=53890); to complain that you're ignoring the feedback poll results lolol-

Told you so. ;)

It's clear that it needed to be improved, everyone has kept their post count and it's happy days so what's the problem?

[scottish]

I don't believe I was complaining, it was a simple question with a simple answer, and it's been answered by mattg.

[Chippiewill]

If only it was possible to turn post count off in specific threads not the overall forum.
I'd just like to say that I think I know I way to do this via a cron.

[mrwoooooooo]

heres an idea, hide everyones post count.

its easily done

Looks like Jordan got a little mad that something he agreed with is getting moved so start dishing out pms :P oh and scottish; you're calling Calvin; stupid for apparently 'abusing' the image thread yet you went off in a mad one and start spamming the other forums in hope of getting them removed............. :S



hi lads

hi lads

I'm assuming you got PMed along with Calvin as you both abused the thread so I reported your posts :)

I'm calling calvin stupid because it's fairly obvious hes abusing the thread for post count and is playing stupid acting as if he never knew he'd get told off for it (as I said before, he might actually be that stupid)

I'm not calling him stupid for abusing them.

literally the worst decision ever made by forum management by creating that thread and moving them all there all because habbix threw his toys out of his pram and cried lol

no ones going to post in them anymore and the forum they are in will be dead in no time lol

[Chris]

We can't please everyone. A line has to be drawn somewhere and this is where we have decided to draw it. No one has lost post count, the threads still exist and can be posed in freely.

Why will nobody post in them? The threads are still there, the only thing that has changed is that post count can't be abused, and if people won't post in them because they don't gain post count, then fair enough.

because people ONLY posted in them for post count, now they won't bother

[sex]

^^^^^ yeah what laura said, did you think people actually posted what they are currently wearing or eating because they thought people might be interested? these would be better off in spam now with the main ones stickied rather than a whole new forum for them

[FlyingJesus]

no ones going to post in them anymore and the forum they are in will be dead in no time lol

Thus proving that they were pointless threads and people didn't have any actual interest in them other than what they could do for post count. If that's the case then good riddance to crap threads surely

[Kardan]

because people ONLY posted in them for post count, now they won't bother

Then why is it such a shame that people won't post in these threads anymore?

[xxMATTGxx]

That is why they wanted them moved to a place where post count isn't enabled :P

[Samantha]

Also I don't see why the threads are stickied anymore? Surely if they're THAT active without post count they don't need it anymore.

Sorted, not that it really mattered :P
