Did you not read my first post :rolleyes: it clearly explained why it matters.

Also I apologise but I just realised someone else posted it a few hours before me. I talked about it with the FM earlier in the day and posted to see what others think.

The other thread can be found here: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=656197

I will request a moderator to lock this.

HabboxForum was known for it's quality of threads but now it seems the current management are only concerned with quantity.

To me it looks like Discuss Anything is Spam #2 as by the looks of this thread, it suggests that what is posted in Spam (well a lot of it) can be posted in Discuss Anything.

As mentioned in my previous post I feel that it would be more beneficial to put a stop to one word replies rather than these kind of threads, by putting a stop to one word replies it should ensure that most of these topics get substantial repiles which I believe some of them are capable of, it will also eradicate the need for the more stupid pisstake ones which can only really be responded with a one word answer.

Would you allow "What colour is your bedroom wall?"

You said it suggests the persons personality (or something like that) but a lot of people never repaint their rooms and leave it the way it has been. Its also a one word thread.

I don't personally have a problem with a thread like that, some people do repaint, some don't. With that thread most replies (such as the one by yourself may I add) are more than one word, I would rather tackle people using one word to reply when it takes no longer to add something else, "what colour is your bedroom" could still be there with an extended constructive posting rule in place, however other threads such as 'how many radiators are in your house' probably wouldn't.

The only reason mine was more than one word is the wall is more than one colour
But yeah, the quicker you can make a rule on whats allowed and what isn't, it would be good as "Which hand do you write with?" is useless.

I have to agree. These are not constructive threads at all and how on earth can members be expected to reply constructively to weak threads like these because they attract one or two word answers. Wootzeh was making a point and I think we all know they are more suitable for spam and not long ago they clogged up the new posts for quite awhile. It is just posting for post count - nothing more, nothing less. Its not all about stats and how many threads are posted. Habbox has always been known for quality threads and quite honestly the members who do post quality threads will be put off by what is basically spamming. Bad decision I feel to let them happen in the first place. It set a bad precedent which others have followed. If you had a quick Q&A forum where the post count was disabled they would disappear in a flash.

As I said when this last came up and as is still the case, these threads do not generate discussion. Having a lot of replies is not discussion, it basically amounts to a poll with a post count.

These threads have lots of answers but cannot be called discussion because nobody is discussing anything, it's just an answer per person then leave for the most part. Discuss Anything is literally spam with post count enabled, considering anything with an actual topic can be housed elsewhere.

Yeh, it's annoying when people get their posts up by one worded answers. Imo, should be made a guideline for that forum that it has to be more than one rule and constructive. Most of these post bore me for the fact that the answers are not insightful, that's why I'm not a regular posted within that section and such.

[W00TZEH]

the radiators thread was left because the thread actually recieved a positive response - proving to W00TZEH who made the thread to take the piss that these threads can generate discussion.

WHAT? I POSTED IT EXPECTING PEOPLE TO REPLY OBVIOUSLY? :S ALTHOUGH I WOULDN'T GO AS FAR AS SAYING IT CREATED 'DISCUSSION'.#

AND FYI, I MADE THE THREAD CAUSE I SAW 'DO YOU HAVE BLINDS OR CURTAINS' AND I WAS ALL LIKE ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH -.- -.- -.-
