Get rid of post your... junk threads

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing :P. I was just responding to a point that said they're pointless and should have the whole thread moved to spam. But also, mods wouldn't usually deal with pointless posts from a few years back, i.e. the posts at the beginning of these threads.

But yeah, I don't have a strong opinion on whether these threads should go or not tbh.

(See Dragga's thread on Crimea for an example of a whole thread being moved to spam because of pointless posting).

Oh yeah that's true, I forgot about threads which are entirely pointless :P - but see my point above in this post about how they go years back so it'd be a bit unfair removing someones postcount from posts so long ago.

I agree that moving 24,000 posts just because a few people have spammed about 1,000 would be unfair - so just close that thread and re-open in forum games :)

i think it would be fun to remove every1s postcount, even from years ago :Naughty:

especially shockerz going from 5k to 200 :Naughty:

I doubt RedStratocas will come back and be angry at losing 43 posts but if the compromise is that the original (or original double anyway) stays where it is then whatev, as long as it's not allowed to continue as a haven for inactivity and effortless reward

So what did you post in there then for that to happen? I forgot that you can't possibly comment on something based on thought and your own opinions...

Of course you can have opinions, but stating them as fact when there are genuine facts against it is ludicrous. As for what I posted, you'll have to forgive me for not remembering the entire wording after all this time but I believe I had the audacity to ask someone what it was that they liked about the content of their post. You know, attempting to start a discussion

Well that shouldn't have happened. I don't think the threads are perfect and some things need to be changes but I don't think they should be placed elsewhere.

@The Don; - I reported the double post, but @e5; says you can double post in these threads if you're adding new 'information'. So there is definitely not a rule like 'You must wait before X people have posted before you can post again'.

I think relying on e5 for information that makes sense is like relying on Melissa McCarthy for fashion tips
