****** threads

I think any thread which doesn't promote active discussion should be moved to spam. Very simple AND ITS ALREADY A RULE.

[Mr-Trainor]

opinions change though?

I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall, everything I've said in this thread and the Eurovision winners thread, you've come up with a response like this. Less than 10 minutes ago you said, and I quote:

make some interesting ones and i wont have to spam

Firstly, you said you're scared of Spam. Secondly, go make some threads yourself then. Although tbh, there are a lot of good threads atm where you can go and post, just go look in a few forums and you'll find one .

So what's active discussion? How many people need to be discussing it before it's active? How far do they have to discuss it for it to be considered a worthwhile discussion?

Any thread which has no point, is moved to spam - as stated in the Spam forum rules.

It's difficult to tell, but let's not kid ourselves that Post a Random Image promotes active discussion, in fact the thread rules actively DISCOURAGE active discussion. Same with Coco pops and the first letter of the name thread. Of course it's a fuzzy line and that is why traditionally there was in fact a rule requiring permission to create any 'Post Your' thread and it was very effective on cutting down on threads which don't promote active discussion. As Mr-Trainor has said, use of common sense, if someone has created a thread right along the same vein as another recent thread and it's not even a remotely interesting topic (e.g. "what documents do you have open in np++ or <insert ide/text editor here>" or "Post your keyboard.") then it's obviously not going to promote discussion.

Any thread which has no point, is moved to spam - as stated in the Spam forum rules.

In reality I have no issue with the rule, but under the pretence of not enforcing quality that flies in the face of common sense.
