this forum is called discuss anything..

However, maybe we could merge the unpopular and unused forums back into Discuss Anything?

And maybe rename it Discuss Anything Else if we must :P

That, my friends, is a good idea.

His thread was pretty spam worthy.

"wt u think of nancy"
--
"ye discuss"

The think I would put in Disscuss Anything is things like "What would you do if the world only consisted on 1,000 people and you were one of them."

I agree. You would at least type a bit civilized to show that you're not in the spam section. :P

Shoulnt it be called General Discusion?

Or actually go by what spam means and not re-write a definition for it to suit HxF :rolleyes: Spam is literally crap and is obviously meant to be crap, stuff that isn't useful.

Great post.

Lol I am surprised how much I have been agreeing with you lately :P (It's so out of my nature :P)

I recently mentioned the Spam v Discuss Anything idea to Elkaa and it is a toughie but it is up to Mods to move as they see fit.

For example a post in Discuss Anything which says "Davina McCall is fit" would be moved to spam but if you were to create a discussion i.e. "Who thinks Davina McCall is a good presenter?" then it'd be discuss anything.

In my opinion anyway :)

That's not spam... A thread title cannot tell you what is spam and what isn't, it can only suggest. What tells you what threads/posts are and are not spam are the posts and replies made in the thread. A thread can be useful if it had "Davina is FIT," because it is sharing the opinion of another member which is what a forum is about. It is only spam if the post made in the thread is unrelated and incredibly useless to the forum.

When I was a moderator in General I would wait for the topic to get a few replys. If they were like "lol" etc then I would move it, even if it was a civilized topic. If there was only one silly reply then they would obviously get a "Do not post pointlessly" edit. Like the other moderators are saying, it's a tricky one but it's down to personal judgment.

merge unused sections with discuss anything, one being the joke forum - it's hardly used, the only real reason threads are in there because they are moved from discuss anything.
