'What...' threads that do not contribute to discussion...

Indeed, personally I never thought there was a need in the first place - why some forum members should be allowed to dictate to other forum members what types of threads are suitable and not suitable is beyond me. I'd perhaps understand if they had to read every thread posted on the forum, but they don't have to click on the threads (as I often choose to do) so what is the problem.

The progress Habbox has made in abolishing rules and giving users more freedom from rules over the past few years has been an excellent thing, long may it continue with meddling proposals such as this being defeated.

I simply asked earlier if nothing was going to be done about it, and fair enough if it isn't because of the poll, I just think management as a whole should make the final decision together rather than someone making the decision on their own who has been against it all along, it's just a bit biased if I'm honest.

It looks like Kardan is 'going EU' on us all after the poll rejected his idea, urging forum management to ignore the wishes of the majority who turned against this idea when it was properly examined.

Even if you had secured a majority I don't think you or others are justified in determining what is a suitable post or not.

I'd 100% back that.

I still think that a lot of those who don't care either way probably voted no :P

Perhaps a compromise would be a moratorium on new ones while not removing the post count from old ones? Or forcing all new ones to be posted in these subforums.

But then I could make an equally baseless claim and say that most of the people voting yes also don't care either way that much.

As I said in my post you quoted, I'm not urging them to go against the poll results, I can see it's been defeated, it's just I would have liked a discussion on the poll results, rather than just one member of management taking it upon themselves - but that's just personal preference, it wouldn't change anything so it doesn't matter :)

And as for enabling post count in spam, even if a poll reached a majority, I think management would overrule it.

If there was an option which was either: I don't care or don't mind then I would have probably chose that. To me it doesn't matter If they were all moved to a sub-forum or just left as they are. The problem about this is that there will always be different views from different users and while some people think the threads should be moved to a sub-forum and then there's others who think they should remain.

Maybe a lot of people did in fact vote no because they have a lot of posts in them threads and that means they would lose quite a lot of post count. Although that could have been some what stopped by closing those threads in those sections and then creating a sub-forum for any future threads that are like these. Going against the poll when the majority have won would have probably caused people to have a go at management for doing that. It's not like Chris has come into this thread and said: No straight away. Members of this forum was given a poll and the vote that won was no. So therefore he has listened to the users in terms of that.


In terms of turning on post count in spam that will always be a no for quite some time regardless of what the poll will say.

Lol, what do you mean "rather than just one member of management taking it upon themselves" Chris gave a poll which as you've pointed out was defeated. It's not as if the poll had a yes majority and Chris went against it. No need to start kicking and screaming because you haven't gotten your own way.

Are people even reading my posts? :P I know it's been defeated and I'm not asking that they go against the poll, I just would have preferred if management had looked at the thread and discussed it after the poll had finished, but they hadn't :P And it's not as if that really matters, it's just a personal preference as I said before :P

What else is there to discuss though? Surely its all been said in the previous pages and then users decided what they wanted via the poll.

Not to keep banging on, but what happened to this?

From what I can tell, the poll won, but then people disagreed with it winning, so it was re-opened and the poll closed? :P

How come the poll re-opened?

People asked for it. It was after confusion on what the options actually meant and then they asked for a re-poll and for it to be open longer - It's on the early pages of the thread.
