CC Threads

Surely the CC tag only means that if you dislike it, you can't just be like "That's crap".

So surely this means that the posts highlighted are fine, because you are allowed to simply say you like them, I mean, if Habbox say that it was introduced to stop people abusing post counts, then maybe they should look at every single 'Post your...' thread or the whole 'Congratulations' sub forum.

If I wanted too I could raise my post count massively by spending all day in the 'Post random images' thread, I mean, heck - why is that even there?

Oh God, don't even bring up the "Post random images" thread. Sure there was a massive debate about it in feedback the other month lmao^

Was anything done? Does post count go up in it? If it does, I think I might restart the debate on it ;)

I genuinely don't know. I think the debate was over whether it should be moved to spam or not, because it offers very few constructive replies.

Then again, so does "what are you listening to", "what are you wearing", "what was the last show you watched" et al. So lord knows, I'll check the post count now? :P

I believe post count is enabled in it. Mine went from 4,494 to 4,945 when I posted in it, so it must be enabled.

I would easily campaign for them all to be moved to spam, I mean, the only one I can imagine people would be unhappy about would be the music thread...

I think the issue with it being moved to spam is that

a) not many people post in spam anymore, unless someone does the mention that includes everyone online (and we know that pisses some people off, as saw in a feedback thread :L)
b) spam threads tend to die quite quickly because so many get created irregardless of how many people post in spam (because it tends to be the same people xD),

"Events discussion" has done quite well to stay on the front page of spam threads. But when "What is your mood" or something got moved into there, it lasted for about a day then completely vanished.

I do agree that many of those types of threads aren't constructive though. Lord knows what to do with them - I only use the music one to help remind me of some music haha.

No I believe for the CC tags it's both whether you like or dislike it, I think mainly it's the rule that states 'why' you think a part is good or a part is bad which would suggest a rewrite.

I agree that perhaps to avoid confusion the rule could be re-written. I'm sure @Martin; will take it into consideration! :)

The rule should be rewritten, I always interpreted CC as, don't just say it's bad, suggest ways it could be improved. I'm pretty sure CC never meant you couldn't say 'That's great, well done!'

Before the rule stated that 'don't just say it's bad, say something that could be improved' or something, but this was never followed and members just said things like 'that's rubbish' and never got warned. Apparently, it wasn't fair to warn those who were negative but not those who were positive regardless of it being written in the rule. The CC tags then came requiring CC whether it was good or bad, however, it looks like it's fell back into its old ways minorily too. A rewrite is definitely needed!
