Spam threads should be deleted

[immense]

haha you think you're the dogs **** correcting errors in peoples sentences. Yeah maybe Jen & Jord do have loadsa posts in them threads but still you're the one creating them :S

My threads that are seen as spam have been removed to spam. All others provoke discussion. Clearly, you're not aware that's what forums do. You'll learn.

Regardless, these threads need to be removed or moved to spam as they clearly break forum rules.

Rules are open to interpretation. Are you suggesting we move Post What You're Listening To into spam when it has been there for countless years and some people will lost over 1,000 posts. Bizarre. Selfish. Silly.

Lock the threads and create a new ones in spam. Then those who posted in the threads won't lose their posts.

Yes, sure. Or close the thread and reopen a new one in music, just because it's an old thread doesn't make it exempt from forum rules.
Please also explain how this is 'Bizarre', 'Selfish' or 'Silly'.

Is there ANY discussion in this thread: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...6384&p=6827156

Stop defending your spam just so you can, as you call it, get your posts past your other account.

You missed damn right stupid - What are you listening to? is one of the longest running threads on HabboxForum, to turn it to spam would be a stupid mistake, we all know if a thread like that was in spam it'd stay on topic for 5 minutes. Neversoft made some very good points regarding why this thread should be where it is.

It's not often Jake and I see eye to eye, however he's nailed this one on the head with this post, his recent thread spree has been managed well by the moderation team and any "spamlike" threads have been moved to spam as stated they should be in this thread, the other threads Jake has posted have raised quite worthwhile discussions and you guys should be giving him rep not moaning about them, OMG THREADS ARE BEING MADE ON THE FORUM? WTF????

Post A Pic was removed from spam because people were being bullied. Now they're not. Perhaps people would be bullied if they listened to music other people thought was odd. Are you promoting bullying? Or are you just wanting to rip all history out of the forum - some of these threads have been up for years and have never caused any issues. It's always the same people who have been here for a while with high posts that don't want them gone. It makes me laugh. These threads are some of the most important - it allows new users to establish themselves and fit in with the community. Something HxF needs. Maybe, as well as promoting bullying you want HxF to fail.

If you knew anything about the moderation, like Hecktix who has replied you will see a lot of my threads have been moved to spam. Even ones which were created years ago and allowed to stay in Discuss Anything - being here for just over 3 years perhaps you don't understand the history of some of the mentioned threads. To add, I think it's very unlikely I'm going to overtake my 18,500 posts on my Immenseman account. I post actively - not to overtake my old account because I'm a chatty person. You're the one with your post count in your sig - get over it.

No it doesn't, it allows people like you to spam your way back into a high post count. You said it yourself. The age of the thread is moot, rules are RULES. There will be no bullying since there is no discussion, people genuinely couldn't care less about what you're listening to as is evident from the posts in that thread. It only serves to boost the post count of people like you.

Edit:

Perhaps you don't understand the history of some of the mentioned threads.

I don't need too, all I need to know is it promotes no discussion and therefore has no place on a discussion board.

People like me? As I've already explained, some people have thousands from said threads, I do not. You notice me because I'm HxF King. I find it funny how you keep rattling on about me and my post count but like I've already mentioned you're the overly cool kid who has their post count in their signature. Trying to prove a point about posting? Go you. We can see it in your user bit, thanks. Also, you pick and choose which bits to reply to because I have trumped you. They serve an essential role in allowing new users to become established on the forum. As FlyingJesus has pointed out before, members don't persevere with this forum. Perhaps they find it to hard to break into. If this is the case they will find it considerably harder by moving these threads into spam. Which won't happen anyway as General Management oppose the idea. Checkmate.

"~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion."

There is no legitimate reason to allow these threads to stay, there is no discussion and there is no 'genuine' enjoyment in making posts within these threads. All they are is spam.

Again, you go back to the same baseline. The pros outweigh the cons. In response to your irrelevant point just so you can sleep easy. Numerous times in threads like PAPOY and Post What You're Listening To there has been some discussion. "Cool was that picture taken in Ireland - I went there, here's one of me there: IMG" or something like "YAY you're listening to MCR, I love that band!"

Out of curiosity, do you understand what discussion is?

And you'll notice the ones that only produce 1 - 2 word answers get moved.
