Who are you to judge what does and does not have a point?I think you've completely misunderstood the point that quality control isn't an aspect of moderation. That doesn't mean that threads can't be moved to Spam for not having a point. It means that threads like, let's say, my recent thread 'Do you like Oriental Screens?' - a mod doesn't have a right to close that thread because it's lacking in quality or because they don't like oriental screens. However, asking 'How many coco pops do you have in a bowl?' can be moved for not having a point at all - not because a mod doesn't like it. Quality and having a point, are two different things in this case.

As I posted already, the Spam forum rules state that any thread that does not have a point can be moved to Spam. That is why the coco pops thread has been moved to spam.Can we just settle this whole argument at do whatever you want as long as it's within the rules? The 'stupid' threads (in your eyes) that are being created do not break the rules and some people may actually find them interesting. Yes, perhaps the Coco Pops one is a little too far, but it's generated more discussion than other threads on HabboxForum and none of them are short answers. So it's not against this rule:
"~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion."
I don't even know what this thread is about anymore tbh, so sorry if that was off the topic you're talking about now.

Well that's your own fault. If you want to follow it, go to the Spam forum. You can even subscribe to the thread and be notified of any further posts to make sure you don't miss out on any more interesting replies.
why is it pointless? i dont understandAs I posted already, the Spam forum rules state that any thread that does not have a point can be moved to Spam. That is why the coco pops thread has been moved to spam.

i used to put the names of my favourite singers here... then i realised nobody cared
Ok. Well my common sense dictates that Post What you're listening to, PAPOY, post a random image, what did you just eat, etc. SHOULD ALL BE MOVED TO SPAM because they feature less discussion than a "POINTLESS" thread about cocopops and in fact ACTIVELY DISCOURAGE ACTIVE DISCUSSION IN CLEAR VIOLATION OF FORUM RULES.
That's common sense.

Oh are the adults still behaving like children, I thought we would have got other this a long time ago.
Just let them continue to make "stupid" threads and further destroy their own argument that we should reduce stupid threads.

So there's a continuation of an argument over something that has already been dealt with? Or am I missing something here? Someone TL;DR the 'todays' moan for me please if I am missing something.
