Time to stop this..

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.

Well Grig what do you expect when the thread isn't of any substance?

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 -.- -.- -.-

*REMOVED*

I complained too ... just that my thread was merged. And why does it matter if the user only has 23 posts :S

The pure ignorance of some users. FYI I previously had thousands of posts. I also think the fact you are saying I can't post feedback because I am 'new/returned' is pathetic.

I am lad after this thread has progressed though I am not the only one to not like this. I would like to ask you this thought Oli, what threads actually make a decent discussion? Give me 5 out of the billion previously posted. They are useless threads.

Also I 100% agree with Catzy, make section in the forum for these stupid threads AND turn off post count. Before long NOBODY would use them.

They're hardly spam, some are quite informative. If anything you're pointing out when it crosses the line and becomes pointless to discuss these things. It'll die down, no point changing forums or making new ones for a phase

Some of them are quite interesting about people (such as the what colour is your bedroom one) however I feel that if we enforce a rule which would mean a substantial reply then such threads would cease to exist, rather than banning the threads change the rules for posting protocol, banning short one worded answers (which aren't worthy of a postcount anyway) and closing any thread which can only be responded to by a one or two word answer.

I agree with Gomme, these threads aren't spam and some are quite informative - there just needs to be more strict guidelines on how to reply to them.

I would be happy if a rule change was made, although I can personally see a lot of people saying things like 'I have 10 windows in my house. Windows are nice they let in light' - that extra sentence was simply be added just to get around the rule

Of course new rules could be tried, but I still think if a section was made for them with NO post count, people would gradually not other posting!

Any examples, Gomme?

That would be a waste of time for the management. It'll die down, this forum is a master at phases, this is just one of those thread phases that'll fizzle out in time and it'll return to the more informative threads what ask for more detailed information. If anything, the moderator(s) in the Discuss Anything forum could just move them to spam.

Any ones that are statistical or say anything about the member. Bedroom colour for example, and the number of televisions in the house. Radiators is kinda pointless because every house should have a radiator in every major room - it would be easier just to say how many rooms there are in the house and work out the number of radiators from there if it's ofthat much interest

I don't think so, really tbh. Dan's one about windows is fine as he actually asks about the age and charactor of the house which attracts constructive answers. The others just attract one word answers so not really constructive.
