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

[Kardan]

Management may have seen them and deemed them useful after creation, or they were made before rule regarding 1/2 word replies was put in place.

This sounds acceptable in theory, but I doubt management have actually discussed each thread and declaired them useful.

"Following several comments in feedback I have made several changes to the pointless posting rule, which now reads:

~ Do not post short, one or two word responses without reasoning or explanation, for instance "I agree", try giving a short explanation or reason for your answer! This means that threads which only allow for a short, one or two word answer will be closed or moved to spam.

This rule shall be in force as of now, however posts which would be considered as breaking this rule on or before this date 18/07/2010 will not be dealt with, threads however will be closed or moved to spam still.

There will be some exceptions to this rule with the permission of Forum Management, such as "What are you listening to?" "What are you eating?" and "What are you drinking?" ~ should you wish to make a thread like this you must PM the Forum Manager (Oli) to gain permission."

That's okay, so posts are legal, but the threads can still be moved to spam or closed if needed. So music, eating/drinking and random images are okay for this rule - but what about the other threads, these should be closed then unless management have said they have approved them?

As those threads existed at the time (I'm assuming not going to read post date of every post __ thread, you can if you wish ) I'd assume the exception included them

As it says, "such as" doesn't mean it's limited to those that were listed.

I could probably find many threads that were created after the date if I looked. The rule states that staff must approve them, but I honestly don't think people have PM'ed management and gained permission, they've just created them and nobody has done anything about it.

(Although I'm sure if I went ahead and created one it'd get shut down in an instance and this rule would be enforced )

Why does it matter, It's not as if we have loads of these threads being created on a regular basis...

No, we don't My issue isn't about them being created, because they simply are not
