posting challenge

[:odey:]

like the ones that stimulate conversation, its a good way to meet new people and improve your insight and opinion on things. Where things like "Do you like cheese" with all the posts "yes" or "no" they should just be deleted.

I don't agree that they should be deleted though, because they wouldn't be if there wasn't a posting competition going on...

I wasnt aware there was :L I was just talking in general theres just no need for them

i like them haha, don't see anything wrong with them

Oh there's a posting competition? That would explain a lot.

A particular favourite of mine was "Has someone ever thrown something at you?" and the "How are you feeling?" thread. The forum is full of the least thought provoking threads possible and quite frankly I'd be amazed if anyone was actually interested in what people have to say in these threads.

then why did no-one make them before the posting competition dotdotdot

oh @Jordy; the how are you feeling thread was made before the competition lol maybe people do enjoy reading these threads, can't all be as indepth and intellectual as us

That makes it worse lol. Dear god why has that thread not been locked? i couldn't give a **** how people are feeling, if I really cared I'd send them a PM but lets face it, I don't care how a bunch of people I don't know feel.

cWhilst the rest of the forum seem to enjoy bashing the management atm, I was of the opinion the forum was at it's best for years with a real concerted effort to listen to members and innovative ideas but I'm seeing quite senior moderators frequently and unnecessarily move threads from the correct section to the wrong section. And now there's a spate of useless threads they simply don't seem to be doing anything about

This is like one of the most interesting threads lately, you say we are moving threads to the wrong section? Which ones? And the Forum Department are aware of these stupid threads being made lately and we are still talking about a solution for them, just waiting for a final answer from Scott and Brandon when they come online soon.

You've got it the wrong way around - these threads WOULD be moved/deleted if the posting comp wasn't happening because for the most part they generate absolutely no discussion. Ironically I've seen more discussion in the 2 pages of this satirical thread than in pretty much the entirety of the other question threads put together

Personally they're not high on my list of loves as they're somewhat limited in terms of content and so do not actually promote active discussion at all, but what do you think?

Discuss

Define 'pointless question threads'. I don't really like those threads but I won't say they shouldn't be made at all. And I don't understand why you're saying it doesn't promote active discussion. It does promote discussion ; be it active or not, that I can't guarantee as some MODs/SMODs here edit posts made for discussion as pointless. For example, threads like 'do you like cheese' can promote discussion because we can always talk about why/how/when we like cheese, what cheese we like etc. It depends on how the user posts it and how some MODs/SMODs edit certain posts imho.

This I have to agree as one thread of mine which is obviously about life was moved to discuss anything. However, it won't really affect anything. There'll still be posts. Just a waste of time imo

i think they are the best threads xo

Best threads as you don't have to think much to answer, not to discuss.

Singular posts answering the thread question is not a discussion, what we're doing now is a discussion
