Proposal (regarding Forum Games)

[JoeyK.]

The problem is it might be another spam forum. I am not sure what the big deal is if people want to increase their post count, its their choice really .

The big deal is that it's against the very first of the "Forum Threads" rules, isn't it?

C1. Don't post for the sake of your post count - It's always nice to have a high post count, it may seem as though people will respect you more with a higher number beside your name, but it doesn't really mean anything on these forums. We respect each of you whether you have 1 post or 1000.

However, I don't agree with the proposal... Instead, I believe that the spam games should just be closed, or instead just moved to the spam forum. I believe that people should be able to raise their post counts playing some of the games, or at least the ones that require actual creativity / thought. I just think that the forum needs to have a bit more moderation to keep the spam games out.

If the proposal were to go through, I believe it would discourage many of the games that are actually creative / require time, as there would be less incentive to continue them.

Thats what I mean, most people don't even know about it.

My thread has offered a solution to the problem and has addressed issues that may arise whereas your thread was simply saying it should be closed, period.

It already is another spam Forum. By changing it in the way I have suggested it will be a Forum just for games and anything off topic can be punished appropriately. The idea of Forum Games is to have fun and mess around a bit, not to get your post count up. JoeyK.'s post also addresses the second part of your post about post counts also; it's against the rules.

So far I think the poll says a lot anyway .

Agreed, Garion in fact more inappropriate posts are made there than anywhere else in the forum in my opinion under the 'guise' of games. Starting afresh would make it easier for it to be moderated well.

I don't agree, I enjoy taking part in some of the games in there.

Well I am shocked that you agree with the FM, again. Anyway, nobody is saying that there won't be games but if you were a moderator you would realise that the section as it is is quite hard to police. I have reported quite a few posts from there in the last few days, some of which were pretty inappropriate.

There is no need to attack people like that, it’s not very nice. Everyone is entitle to their own opinion and my opinion is that the Forum Games section gets used allot and, I personally enjoy taking part in some of the games within the section.

Maybe if post count was removed from that forum like someone suggested above or remake the forum as a child forum in the spam forum and hide the original games forum.

You won't have any problem then! My proposal suggests that the Forum Games section should be closed and hidden from view and then a new one created - so you can still take part in, and enjoy, "some of the games in there" as they can be recreated etc . I haven't said totally close it down, I said hide it and create a new one where post count doesn't increase .

Catzsy didnt "attack" you. LOLLL.

Jesus.

I'm for it.
