Discuss anything

Murder inspires current affairs threads

Not many of them lmfao

Still more than the number of legit threads inspired by the spammy pointless ones :P

maybe a certain members posts should all just be directed to spam.
problem solved.

I do think that 'Discuss Anything' is slightly restricted (for example, I'd put the Habbox nomination thread in spam in there), but if there's threads that only have a one or two word answer and promote no further discussion, it should be in spam. So the mothers maiden names, favourite Habbox rule etc.

I agree with moving the nominations thread to Discuss Anything.

And KKK

sounds like the majority of the forum

I don't understand the huge issue.
If you don't like what it says, exit out of it and read another.

The word discuss means it should be a question that requires thought and people talking with each other, but that could then be argued as being in the debate section.

Just drop it.

A7. Do not post pointlessly ~
[1] ~ Do not post off-topic ~ An off-topic post has no relevance to the topic or any previous post that is relevant, or does little to positively contribute to the discussion.
[2] ~ Do not spam/make pointless posts. It is not allowed to post random, meaningless, posts or threads on the forum. Examples of this are (ROFLCOPTER!!!!!!); (BYRDSB +HKK; ) (I am a plane)
[3] ~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion. Posting short replies such as "Yes" or "Nope" is also forbidden.

[4] you are allowed to double posts and you can post pointlessly and off topic (excluding posts such as "aisgfhsuifh")

[5]It is not allowed to post pointless posts or threads like "aifdhgsdfhgsdo" or numerous threads which essentially "spam" the New Posts search.

Spam rules override the general forum rules, so rules [1] and [2] do not apply in spam. Rule [3] however does still apply in the spam forum, as there is no rule in the spam rules saying otherwise. Also worth noting that rule [5] means you can't post many threads in spam at one time, no matter the topic.

So, really, with rules [3] and [5], why are threads not being removed from spam? The rules don't say 'If you make these threads, we will remove the post count for them by putting them into spam', the rules say 'Do not make these threads'...

I just wonder why some rules are followed and others are not :P

I'm pretty sure they've been moved into spam for the past 9 years without it being an issue...
