pointless posting

Like this poll? I swear this has been done so many times before omg, although I think this poll was more related to quick one word reply threads, but its a simlar thing really.

LOL

That poll *really* shouldn't have had multiple choice involved.

@Phil; - if you do a poll, no multiple choice.

Been there done that with the poll, I don't think getting rid of threads which are clearly popular due to a vocal minority is sensible. *waits for Tom to equate this to slavery or something completely irrelevant* but the fact of the matter is those threads have been a non issue for years. Kardan and co just love to moan and I definitely think you should make your decision based on the facts rather than a poll. I definitely think there should be a rule put in place to prevent people abusing those threads to get token to convert to credits, I don't however think they should be burried in spam when they have been consistently popular.

If we are a vocal minority, then a thread open to all users where they can give their feedback anonymously should be fair.

I think it needed multiple choice because of how badly it was set out - otherwise looking only at percentages the "don't change it/I'm terrible at reasoning" camp would have come out ahead because of a 4-way split in everything else

[Yawn]

it says it all rly that the ppl who post in these threads havent actually said a word yet :rolleyes:

How do they stifle discussion? The only threads which they are relative to are the ones they are in. It's not as if it flows over to other threads and posts. You're acting like they are holding the forum back from deep discussion when they simply aren't. You can quite easily ignore the threads if they are that much of a bother to you.

There is still no call to get rid of them, not sure where you're getting this from. As for minority, previously there were 122 votes for some sort of change as opposed to 41 who wanted them left



Your definition of fact is somewhat off; these threads have been a constant issue for many years



This I do agree with; and the fact is that they are pointless threads that not only do not promote but actively stifle discussion

I don't think I'll do a poll. I'd rather try to come up with some sort of solution (ok yh I'll probably make one) but at the moment I really don't know what I'm going to do about them but a decision probably won't be made today

I think the fairest way that poll should have gone was a one-way vote between all the options. See if any options got 50%, if not, discard the lowest and re-open voting again.

Basically the AV system. I remember looking through who voted what for that thread, and there were some dodgy combinations

To be quite honest I doubt majority of people care about the logical reasoning and consistency of the rules on a habbo forum. As if said previously you can quite easily ignore the threads if you only want deep and philosophical discussions.

@Phil; At least the choice is quite simple.

1) Leave them enabling post count/token but introduce harsher rules which require moderation.
2) Close them and re-open them in forum games

(Also, not sure why people are saying 'Let the thread die and then re-open', why not simply close and open?)

With option 1, it will work as long as the rules are good enough and the mods are good at enforcing.
With option 2, it will work but the issue is certain people no longer wanting to post in those threads (I wonder why )

Either is good.

And it's not as if they've been offline, they've been online posting in their favourite threads
@Shockwave.2CC; - Please tell us your views.

They stifle discussion within themselves, as has actually been explained previously. They (totally illogically) do not allow for discussion to take place, as the only thing that's allowed to be posted in them is a short, pointless answer - something that quite rightly is rejected elsewhere. I could quite easily ignore porn and snuff videos but that's not a good argument for having them on the forum
