What do you want to happen to "fast threads"?

[Phil]

Either way the post count will be included if it stays where it is or in a sub-forum with post count enabled so I really don't see why this argument is taking place?

By moving them into a sub forum it leaves discuss anything open to some proper discussion.

But this would shift almost all of the discussion in that forum into the sub-forum. Discussion isn't very ongoing in the Discuss Anything forum right now and these so called 'fast threads' is what's keeping it alive. I didn't notice it so much before but now that I'm moderating that section, I can see it's not very active at all

When post your threads were moved to a post count disabled forum in the past the number of posts dropped for the first week, but after that the number of posts recovered because more discussion went on in better threads.

@Chippiewill; stop being childish. The poll is over and the most popular choice is to leave them as they are. There isn't any more discussion to be had since they've been moved before to a different subforum which turned out to be a failure and more importantly, more people are in favour of it staying.

It's not childish, It's a fundamental misreading of the results. More people are in favour of it moving than it staying.

it was a multiple choice poll so if people were so adamant about moving the threads they would have done what you did and voted for every other option, but they didn't. Catch-22, even if you win you still lose as chippiewill will find loopholes to get his own way.

if a thread is gd ppl will post in it. if its bad ppl wont post and it will flop down the forum to the bottom never to be seen again. chippiewill and the other boring ppl saying if a thread is gd in their opinion or not is irrelevant. no1 cares for ur opinion ur irrelevant and so are the other squares who want a subforum.

there is nothing stopping u making "proper discussion" in the discuss anything forum right now and this poll about fast threads makes no difference to proper discussion. u want proper discussion MAKE IT but we dont need to shift the entire forum about to suit that. if u make a discussion thread and it flops its cos ur thread isnt gd enough and no1 wants to post in it and nothing else (not that u ever make discussion threads so there is evidently no issue).

this all boils down to IF U LIKE A THREAD POST IN IT. IF U DONT LIKE IT DONT POST. this is common sense and wat ppl do anyway so there is no need to change anything :Innocent:

Let them stay, end of the day it's just another thing to enforce. It's not breaking the forum really, and it's the start of restricting people doing things which will make them post less.

Sure, proper discussion can be created but the whole argument is based around these 'pointless' threads pushing high quality threads down the page, which makes sense.

I just think people need to stop being ******* eejits and posting stupid threads constantly every 2 mins. I don't see why mods can't just warn those people who are blatantly spamming the forum, use your noggin.

If mods are incapable of using their discretion maybe a sub forum for these threads is the right way to go. If they can, keep the threads but warn those who are creating the threads just to be utter *****.
