What do you want to happen to "fast threads"?

If it does pass, I look forward to the interesting threads that Kardan, Chippiewill and Marketing are going to be posting daily. I'm sure.



You and a few others seem to post in them, so when i've stopped posting in that forum - that discussion will be lost.

Alternatively, if you think its too UKIP-Tory orientated then you are free to post anything else.. yet you don't.



I'm in favour of letting people post what they want and if I don't like it then I DONT POST IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean Christ almighty, whats so hard to understand about that?



I don't advocate impartiality. I mean, duh?

People don't necessarily want detailed discussions... just want SOME SORT OF discussion - a forum is pointless if people post in a thread with a one word answer with no real desire to actually be a part of that thread..

I do indeed post in the Politics threads - generally because I find them laughable, sometimes because there are points I agree on (ie. the olive oil thread). The issue is, that Current Affairs forum is not really active; a few of us post in all the threads, the majority don't at all - and some do and just believe the main post, no matter what the source lol The thing is, you probably wouldn't post in a non-EU thread - so even if I or someone else posts something it is likely to be ignored. The ONLY threads that ever do really, really well in that forum are disasters (shootings, bombings, hurricanes etc)

To be fair though, the Current Affairs forum is not really being discussed - it only came up after you threatened to effectively stop posting altogether if the forum was not full of spam threads :L

no.....:S

i dont even get y we r having this poll and discussion when its something as simple as ignoring a thread u dont like and posting in threads that u like. its ridiculous and the most simple part of a having a forum

also considering these threads in question r far more active than any of the other threads on the whole forum its pretty evident that the forum r here for them :-)

No point in them being there if we move them to a sub-forum with post count disabled as the only reason these threads are posted in is to increase post counts + tokens.

I say we either ban them altogether or move them to a sub-forum with post counts enabled, as the second choice would still keep the forum "active".

I think the current rules deal with pointless threads just fine, as proven with the move of the coco pops thread. Therefore, I do not feel anything needs to be changed - but maybe on a case by case basis, e.g. certain user making lots of threads like this in a short space of time, then they could be dealt with. But yeah, I voted for the last option :P.

Totally agree with you.

Voted for ''Move the threads into a sub-forum under "Discuss Anything" with post count disabled'', ''Move them all to spam'' and ''Ban them altogether''. Any of those seems good.

current one, or move to sub forum with post count disabled.

THATS NOT TRUE

only skandair is doing that and the whole issue lies with skandair and not these threads. IF A NEW FORUM IS MADE THEN THIS IS GOING TO BE A MESS AND THE FORUM WILL *DIE*

Simple resolution. Create a new poll, with one option being to ban Skandair.

Case closed.
