'What...' threads that do not contribute to discussion...

[Sammeth.]

To be fair I only voted to make it uneven, but still Chris has already said it will be trialled so it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Its a bit of a tough one. If the threads encourage posting then that's brilliant. But if the posts in these threads don't actually contribute much worth to the forum, other than giving off a slightly increased total at the end of each month, then is it actually worth it? I think the idea of a subforum isn't something that should be ignored, and a trial of it seems an ideal way to go.

It will indirectly increase better posts to the forum, as when there's more forum activity it means people are more likely to stay on and become engaged in more 'heavy' discussions as they browse. I mean, take smaller Habbo forums over the years and you'll not find as much in-depth discussion or debate (if any at all) as you will find on Habbox Forum - because for every hundred members who enjoy posting tat, you might gain only one member who likes more intellectual/in-depth posts. If you deter the number overall, then ultimately you'll have a negative knock on effect on more in-depth posts/threads.

If the number of members wanting serious/more in-depth discussion is say for example, one in every hundred then obviously the more people overall you attract then you'll attract more people who prefer that style of posting.

Could have sworn the poll ended. Okay so the poll ends at 11:10pm tonight, my bad!

FlyingJesus has already made clear that he knows these measures that he and others argue for will mean less posts

No, they would mean less COUNTED posts. If people genuinely want to post in those topics then they will continue to do so. I'm pretty sure Spam is the most active area by a long way despite posts not counting in there - people post in places that they want to post in

14 vs 13 now lmao.

Can I switch my vote?

It's a shame you can't, the threads really aren't as big a problem as people think they are. It's just removing one active part of the forum because apparently posts mean something these days :/

Post counts have always meant something to people

Only superficially You'll have to make a ton of posts to get any worth while user group benefits (platinum is the only useful level) and you only win MOTM by making good quality posts. There are never any serial spammers in these threads, mainly because the lack of activity these days means you'll have to double post, which people feel uncomfortable with doing. Plus the rule should cover all these threads if the rule was created (yet another pointless rule to go with the few that were removed). If you give liberties out to "Post your setup/desktop/vehicle" threads, then the rule is biased and unconstructive.

lmao what

Don't tell me there is a MOTM award for posting in "post your..." threads? If that's the problem a simple changing of the award criteria seems easier.
