'What...' threads that do not contribute to discussion...

No there isn't

Good

Still not sure where this idea that posts hold any actual value comes from. A quick nose at the User Rank system and you'd have to spam like crazy in these threads, and the total post count for some of them doesn't seem to suggest much (if any) abuse of the system. If the ranking system changed with fewer posts between ranks (hundreds, not thousands) then there would be a point - but the concerns seem a bit far stretched.

"Post your vehicle..." has 734 posts which doesn't warrant any concern. You'd need to be just one single user to have made all those posts to gain any abilities, and even then you'd be facing difficulities climbing the rank system

The "Post what you are listening to" thread, which is arguably the main offender, has 24,401 posts and is a thread which is 7 years old and split amongst many, many users. Assuming there have been only 30 users using that thread, that would make roughly 813 posts each. These posts are worthless in climbing the ranking system, especially as 30 wasn't being generous. There are quitely possibly double/treble that who have used that forum, making more or less posts.

If we want to be tedious about the quality and quantity of posts in the forum in general, many people post in the forum and many are ignored (not replied to) so do they really contribute if nobody particularly cares?

It's also assuming people have the time and energy to waste wanting to climb a ranking system which really is the least of today's worldly concerns. Most people would probably get bored if their one goal in life was to climb the Habbox Forum User Rank System

It's a shame you can't, the threads really aren't as big a problem as people think they are. It's just removing one active part of the forum because apparently posts mean something these days :/

It's really a dreadful shame I couldn't switch. It would have become 15 vs 15, and I know Chris isn't keen on the idea, so I doubt it would have been implemented if it was 15 vs 15.

I'm not keen on the idea but I couldn't scrap the poll after it was introduced because that would be unfair. Since people want to see the section made, there isn't much choice but to introduce it for a trial period.

I assume every post your etc thread will be moved to this section including music?

Not moved as that will remove everyones post count and I'm sure you can imagine what peoples reaction to that would be . The current threads will be copied into the new section and closed.

I didn't get to vote or know about the poll ;/ If your going to base drastic decisions on a poll. At least post an announcement and let people know about it? :S

[scottish]

@Chris; for some reason isn't letting me quote so

That's pointless, if you're going to move every post your then do it fairly and move everyone regardless of post count (moving threads to a new section to stop people abusing threads for post count, then refusing to move the single thread thats abused most for post count, logic?)..

If you're going to move every thread but that then it's just unfair, and if that's the case I wish to keep my post count from every other thread so wheres the fairness in only music getting to keep theirs just because people have done over 1k posts to boost post count?

Either move everyone fairly, or don't move any... No one thread should get an exception that no other is...

If you're going to move all the threads based on a 2 vote advantage in a poll that wasn't open long enough then i suggest you hand in your resignation.
@Chris; will the posts currently in the threads still count but any posts after the removal won't? idgi

Also, should re-do the poll and actually bring attention to it either by a forced read or an announcement, 30 people voted in this...

Habbox no longer uses force read threads due to the annoyance of them. Notices/Announcements are fine though.
