Some of them are pointless yes (i.e. first letter of name) but some like the what tab do you have open aren't. If you're going to say "well no-one cares" then apply it to every "what are you..... " thread.
I don't think theyre all pointless and id rather have something to post in on this forum than nothing at all.
well the majority of your posts are low quality and generally moaning about something on the forum... i'd like something to be done about those :D

This problem was solved when post your crap was moved to a forum with no post count. And shock, the number of posts in them went down. Who'd have thought people didn't give a toss about those threads?!
Activity is good, but content is even better.

Terrible? Sorry but I am not the one who wants to ban members from posting threads that actually increases activity?
Let's get this straight:
People complain about activity
People complain about the threads
If you want the activity you need to allow these types of threads, you need to accept new members who may also be younger and also might be "noobs". This is why other fansite forums are successful. We cannot start banning this sort of stuff no more, this isn't Habbox that was here five years ago when you could ask for threads that were perfect in everyone's eyes.

As I've already said there's no point having loads of active threads if they're all **** discussion. Quality must be maintained and that's what historically separated Habbox from other fansites.

On topic:
I thought those threads that were limited to one or two worded replies were moved to spam? Someone is clearly not doing their job right if you allow the 'What letter does your name start with?' to stay in discuss anything. The thread is spam ridden and ventured off topic originally unsure whether it was a serious thread.

They probably don't promote it due to many probably being in spam as the top posters includes spam posts for some reason, but then again Skandair doesn't post in spam as much so you might expect them to create discussion more.
Anyway, I'm not really fussed what threads we have - I noticed him creating odd thread, but I didn't see the scale of it or anything, some of them are a bit on the edge with the letter one not being moved to spam or anything, but it got a lot of replies.

In all seriousness, the only people on HxF who would choose V7 over an awesome forum are staff.. the community - which is essentially the forum and nothing else - care about the forum. V7 is a bigger joke than V6 to be honest.

---
The only reason people didn't like the non-post count forum was because it stopped them getting some easy post count. That is the ONLY reason - what is the point in a forum which people go on to get a bigger number, without any real care about what they are actually posting? It simply defies the point in the forum. To be honest, I wouldn't be too bothered if you moved them all to a forum WITH post count - just keep all the ******** away from the genuine content so I don't have to filter through crap.

you could try to make it interesting with your posts? or other people's posts may be interesting? i really dont see how a title can sound interesting then suddenly not be once you see the contents. when you're posting a thread, your own post doesnt need to be amazing because its not a debate or showing off, its a free for all. face it, you're all not happy unless you're moaning about something, yet none of u have great threads either? if i'm not interested in replying to a thread, whether the thread is interesting or not, i simply do not reply.
(is my punctuation and grammar ok for you chippewill? please don't make me bring in the caps :()

yeah cause the forum has options to discuss ANYTHING and go off topic, you'll find that on most forums.
problem with putting these threads in spam is that some people avoid spam therefore won't be able to contribute whilst on discuss anything or health/life everyone will be willing to participate if they wish. if i want to target everyone ill post outside of spam because in spam u generally only get the same people posting

But surely there is no such thing as immature threads if they provide a discussion point. And hasn't everyone said that quality doesn't matter? And that mods aren't to decide what a 'good' thread is?

deal with problems by making interesting threads yourself if you are that bothered, but quite frankly just get used to the threads the newer people are making because it's the future of the fansite if you want it to improve. you are just being so ridiculously childish and it is proving no point other than your stupidity

Oh my god it's so atrocious to want a virtual form of currency.
Let's say Skandair made 10-15 "pointless" threads (under your opinion) and someone posts in each of them. They only gain a maximum of 75 tokens (give or take) which is hardly the end of the universe considering the cheapest item in the shop is 2000 tokens. Post count increases by 15 wow.
What is the massive concern over post count, if suddenly people start taking 1/2 years to reach God status we have an issue - but the top 20 posters on the forum have remained largely the same for quite some time and these so called "pointless threads" have been around a fair while...

If you so desire then fine. Was only arguing with you because you claim:
1) Let's reduce these un-interesting, pointless threads.
2) Post in/post more pointless threads!!!!
Which is completely contradictory.

Technically you only need to buy 40 months of donator for every 2 weeks of VIP. Also apparently they're looking into selling VIP outright anyway. But also people won't buy donator if they already have VIP.

Agreed, but others previously, like the one about letters should have been in spam immediately yet it wasn't, therefore, the others shouldn't be if we're going off that rule - it doesn't matter though. Those who are doing it for tokens can still earn them regardless of whether they get moved to spam due to the polls in them.

It's also been established that 'Post your' threads are fine, since that forum got removed a few months back, and it's been shown before that moderators do not enforce the 'do not post one/two word replies' rule.
So actually, there's nothing wrong with the threads. Hence why they're all still around. Yes, the topicsaren't as discussive as some others, but these threads are getting many replies, so it's increasing activity, which must be a good thing :)

Yeah I know that, but some of them still belong in Spam. Whether or not they're actually going to be moved to spam or not is another issue :P.

I've long held the belief that most of the threads in spam do not belong in spam to the same degree as discuss anything.

It takes a terrible kind of Forum Manager to actively discourage discussion:

Just curious, why is there a thread with rules specifically engineered towards preventing discussion - in clear violation of forum rules?

To determine how many coco cops are in various people's cereal bowls obviously.
In reality they should just impose their own rule:
~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion.

Omg. Do you seriously think people are going to go pour out a bowl of coco pops to the exact amount they'd eat, then count them all to get the exact number of how many is in there. And then, do you really think people are finding that information to be interesting in any way? The thread has no point.

The entire situation is all one massive reductio ad absurdum, the point of the thread is to force management's hand so that they have to concede that quality is in fact a factor in regards to moderation of the forum. Either that or they're massively inconsistent.

I've moved the coco pops thread to spam.
And now the point has finally been proven. Quality control is an aspect of Moderation. Now that we have determined that in fact quality should and IS enforced can we now have an actual discussion about the degree of enforcement.
Matthew

Because that was one of the most pointless threads I've seen in a while... If you disagree... wow.
Can we just settle this whole argument at do whatever you want as long as it's within the rules? The 'stupid' threads (in your eyes) that are being created do not break the rules and some people may actually find them interesting. Yes, perhaps the Coco Pops one is a little too far, but it's generated more discussion than other threads on HabboxForum and none of them are short answers. So it's not against this rule:
"~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion."
I don't even know what this thread is about anymore tbh, so sorry if that was off the topic you're talking about now.

19-05-2013, 01:53 PM
I think you've completely misunderstood the point that quality control isn't an aspect of moderation. That doesn't mean that threads can't be moved to Spam for not having a point. It means that threads like, let's say, my recent thread 'Do you like Oriental Screens?' - a mod doesn't have a right to close that thread because it's lacking in quality or because they don't like oriental screens. However, asking 'How many coco pops do you have in a bowl?' can be moved for not having a point at all - not because a mod doesn't like it. Quality and having a point, are two different things in this case.

Ok. Well my common sense dictates that Post What you're listening to, PAPOY, post a random image, what did you just eat, etc. SHOULD ALL BE MOVED TO SPAM because they feature less discussion than a "POINTLESS" thread about cocopops and in fact ACTIVELY DISCOURAGE ACTIVE DISCUSSION IN CLEAR VIOLATION OF FORUM RULES.
That's common sense.

Because clearly no-one was actually counting the coco-pops.
Post a video of you counting all 800 or whatever coco pops that you put in your bowl and you can prove me wrong.
Until then, its staying in spam.

So there's a continuation of an argument over something that has already been dealt with? Or am I missing something here? Someone TL;DR the 'todays' moan for me please if I am missing something.

Actually they don't, because people are less likely to be lying when they said what they last ate, what they lasted listened to. Plus, PAPOY gets a post of discussion from when I last checked it (which was a while ago).

It doesn't have to be every person, even if one song was listened to by somebody else then that thread had a purpose.
If at least one of you fools counted your coco pops then get that thread moved back to discuss anything, but I would be surprised if even you would stoop that low and count your coco pops lol...
