Threads that create very little discussion or short answers such as yes or no. I also assume threads where you post a picture of your router/graphics card is also included. But @Chippiewill; may also want threads like "What are you listening to" to be part of it.

Didn't he say something about waiting for Will?

3 - The information, even if people did count, is hardly useful.

The things in bold are subjective. Some people may think it has a point, and the information may be useful.
As for the second point, I didn't realise that people had to post truthful things

In that case, we need to get rid of many, many threads

Move the threads into a sub-forum under "Discuss Anything" with post count enabled
Move the threads into a sub-forum under "Discuss Anything" with post count disabled
Move them all to spam
Ban them altogether
Don't change anything and let them continue

Feel free to change them to ones that you think would make more sense.

What falls under 'the threads' though?

Make it multiple choice.

Which ever ones you, Chippiewill and anyone else who doesn't like them can come up with.

sub-forum with post count enabled or no movement I'd probably say but removing the stupid ones like the cocopops. If we just keep removing post count from stuff then it's just gonna put off new members from joining tbh that care about raising their post count which is most of them

@Kardan; @Chippiewill;

Is there any specific threads you would want to include that you think shouldn't be posted in the main forums?

**FlyingJesus** · 19-05-2013, 07:26 PM

I just read through this whole thread but I can't understand any of it due to Will's use of a comma splice in the opening post.

4real though I'm personally not overly bothered which way this goes (although I'd rather have non-discussion threads put away in a no-post-count area) as long as the rules are made clear and enacted upon in a consistent way. The only requisite justification for a "pointless" thread in my opinion is one that does not allow for or actively promote discussion; these threads that are being complained about fall under that since typically people go into them to post an answer and then never return, but obviously not everyone will agree with that classification.
