You made that thread knowing that the rule was in place, just to get a reaction.

Even so, it proves a very good point that polls can hardly be used anymore.

How do you know that? Exactly, you don't. I posted it out of curiosity of peoples internet speeds, it is NOT a post your thread and shoud NOT be closed.

I don't understand just about any thread could in some way be seen as a 'post your' thread... for example when I posted this thread:

I went to see this today it was quite good Jim Carrey did look rather old though . I was wondering if anyone else is planning to or has seen it and what you thought of it .

Yeah if you've never heard of it >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_Man_(film)

I was asking for them to 'post your' opinion

You posted that thread at 8:50pm, which was certainly after you'd seen this thread. That means you definitely knew about the rule, so please don't question my knowledge.

Yes but the fact it isn't a post your thread means that I didn't even have this thread in mind when posting it. So, when it's knowledge it is impossible for you to be certain of, yes, I will question it :)

Bit of a silly rule in the first place, why not get rid of it but keep it in moderation..

My thoughts exactly. All threads are based around opinions and what's going on in your life. Coincidently, a forum like this exists for exactly those reasons! "Post" your" threads should only be closed when they're a bit pointless and don't really strike a discussion e.g. "What are you having for dinner?" It'll be abused due to the topic only really lasting a day, but then again, that's not even a good reason to close those threads.

This rule was created for a specific reason, in response to complaints. There were "Post Your" threads like Post Your Banks thread. Many "Post Your" threads were fairly pointless. It appears that when creating the rules we were fairly shortsighted. It included many things that we didn't intend to include.

I want to stress, however, that there is a way to do things, and certain people seem to be really freakin bad at it. The one who actually sparked discussion was GommeInc who made good points in the appropriate form. Even the thread starter was fairly good with his comments. But two users in particular stand out as the reasons things don't get done but instead get mired into defensive arguments.

There won't really be a rule, we will simply reserve the right to close threads we feel are pointless. Simply because there is no rule that can replace the judgement necessary. Apparently Moderators have interpreted Post Your threads to be a much wider category than originally intended, and that's not necessarily their fault. I've had a lot to look at as our focus has been Christmas and overhauling Habbox so I didn't pay as much attention to the effect of this as I should have. This is one place where the Forum Manager will come in handy, without me there was nobody to really look hard at this rule and its effects in the forums, but now the FMs will be able to.

This is a forum fgs where people talk, I don't see why this rule is needed, who cares if peoples post count increase that's the point. Each post you make increases your count, plus half the people on this forum don't care about post count unless they're noobs or just god damn ignorant. Get rid of this stupid ******* rule ***.

Yes you all do a good job but you need to seriously think about rules before you make them in future. Take the rule away and if any post your threads are made and turned into spam, close them, otherwise, leave them alone.

Also, back the behave point, this isn't a school or a prison, it's a forum for discussions and I'm not going to be told I'm not trusted to behave by somebody I don't know, you can't stop me from doing jack ****, sorry but that was a proper stupid thing to say.

Bans should only be given when people cause serious disruption to the forum and spam everywhere and argue all the time.. not for silly little things like this. It's like arresting someone for talking about something.
