Isn't a word

ON TOPIC ANYWAY...
For those serious about getting the rule changed, it seems Chris is quite open to suggestions so please feel free to make some, even rewrite the entire rule and lets all have ONE BIG HAPPY DISCUSSION

Why don't we scrap the pointless posting rule and add a [serious] prefix (similar to the system used on ask reddit) which people can add to their threads whereby the current pointless posting rules will be enforced? Then add a rule along the lines of "Discussion must bear relevance to the thread or any content that may arise from it" so that allows for threads to evolve whilst also preventing all the problems that arise from people pointless posting. This also allows serious threads to remain on topic. Then include spam in post count.

Interesting idea actually - What are everyone's views on having something like this put into place?

You could argue that all forums are [Serious] and if you don't want to be serious, spam is there with no pointless post rule enforced.

Well the forums are there to filter subjects down into similar topics so people can easily view the content they are interested in. Spam is much more similar to messenger in the sense that the topics don't have to be about a particular subject and people can post completely off topic, basically forcing the topic into another one, whereas this system would allow conversations to naturally change. The serious tags would most likely be used by people in debates (in some circumstances)/health related threads etc where the content should revolve around the original topic.

Maybe not but it is a combination of two words. Making a post with two words in a single word.

BITE ME.

I like the idea, but it would rely on people actually using the tags. We have a lot of prefix tags at the moment which a lot of people just forget/can't be bothered to use

You can force people to use prefixes by the way. Just a lot of them are currently optional - But if you look at the support forum for example. You have to choose one before you can post the thread.
