Well no rudeness was intendedWhoever you are, thanks for the feedback - whilst each persons opinion is respected I don't think the threads are too much of a hassle, as buttons said if they werent there, there'd be no threads at all for now and some of them are interesting insightful topics, it's the ones that just target 1 word answers which will be cracked down upon soon.

A while back, there was a similar thread to what I am about to say. I think it was decided that the threads were not going to be allowed and instead be moved to Forum Games, but I don't think it ever took effect - maybe I am wrong and it wasn't decided - but I think it was.
Anywayyyyy, Discuss Anything was known for interesting threads and discussions. Now its filled with one word answer threads which are just useless and as there are so many now, it means other people post more, thus the forum is filled with them
The following are from the first page of Discuss Anything:

These threads are just useless and I can make 100's of silly ones like these. The forum should be for proper and not crap like that.
Edited by Mr-Trainor (Forum Super Moderator): Merged in to previous thread as they both have discussion about the same topic.

I agree with this, but at the same time, where do you draw the line?
As you said, there are 100s of threads that could be made, but some are quite interesting and CAN provoke discussion, so it would seem wrong to just shove them into spam.
i'm out of touch, i'm out of love
i'll pick you up when you're getting down
and out of all these things i've done
i think i love you better now
In my opinion, these threads aren't really too bad - they provide a discussion to some extent and they fit into discuss anything perfectly, Discuss Anything hasn't been what it was for a couple of years now and that's probably because there are so many areas of the forum which can accommodate the more worthwhile posts, these posts aren't exactly spam - some of them are interesting, the what colour is your bedroom one for instance, I like it as the colour of someones bedroom can say a lot about them, some people don't reply with one word answers which is good.
I think it may be better to introduce a constructive posting rule for discuss anything (or even forum wide) to state that you cannot simply post a one word answer to a thread, this would thus eradicate any threads which can only be answered by one word - perhaps such as the radiator thread, although it will make threads such as "what colour is your room" better, as you would get more substantial responses.
I shall wait and see what other people think, although I think this would be a positive line to take.
