I agree, I was going to post a while ago but forgot. People only use it to raise their postcount, even if you move it to spam you'll notice it would die because people don't get their posts up in it. Move it to spam anyway.Quote:

Yeah people will stop posting once they stop getting their post count up from it
some sections got merged into different ones, so food and drink merged in discuss anythingQuote:

I agree. I'd asked about these threads before and was told that "there's exceptions to the rules" but was never quite told why they're an exception since they all absolutely no discussion in them, and promote pointless posting.
Yeah, same with the what are you listening to thread, the chances that a discussion is going to be made is slim, and another reply is even slimmer.Quote:

Is it possible to stop post count from increasing in one specific thread? If it is then do it to them, if not I guess just move it to spam or something.
All the threads like that get spammed and I have been doing it recently and its unacceptable! I think there should be a rule saying how often your allowed to post in the thread or move them to spam
At the end of the day, does it really matter, its a post count. I think its nice you get rewarded for your randomfactness. ;)
EDIT: Equally everyone can post an individual random fact and get their post counts up with threads.
Well, because there's a posting competition really. It's a competition and people shouldn't be able to spam to win it.Quote:

Also, post count is generally used as a kind of rep to see whether that person is trustworthy or not, kind of doesnt help that if someone just spammed their way there
If theres a posting competition then fair does, it ain't fair.Quote:

I agree that maybe not all three threads are not needed and are over used by some users. As I said if you alert a Super moderator or the moderators for the specific section then they will take action on it.
This is correct :)Quote:

I'm going away tomorrow but when I get time I will glance through these threads to see if I feel moderators are keeping on top of it.
If you think someone has used these threads to cheat in the Posting Competition, then I suggest you PM me before midnight :P
Two users have been disqualifed from the Habbox Summer Spectacular posting competition for spamming such threads.
