Spam threads should be deleted

[immense]

I really don't understand why anyone would deny the fact that threads such as "What are you listening to?" do not promote any discussion whatsoever and take about 2 seconds to post in.

As FlyingJesus has already said:

If you actually read the posts in the thread (is that really too much to ask for some people) you would have seen quite clearly there are more reasons for keeping them. All you moaners come back with is "there is no diskushun". Sometimes in health forums and I ask a question, everyone replies to my opening post rather than the ones in the thread and therefore aren't discussing the topic - but answering/replying. Same can be applied to the thread you mentioned.

I haven't seen a reason worthy enough of allowing them yet in my opinion. Obviously management aren't going to want rid as they bring in so many posts.

I haven't seen any yet. Except for 'it's heritage' or some other rubbish reason why it's allowed to break the rules.

+ Allow new users to establish themselves
+ They reply to the original post which is what the idea behind a forum is
+ Some of them have been here 6 years and never caused any issues

Three to get your tongues wagging.

+ Allow new users to establish themselves

By adding to no discussion and by just boosting their post count? Also I have not seen any posts from new users in the "What are you listening to" thread.

+ They reply to the original post which is what the idea behind a forum is

No,

a) It's a discussion board not a forum
b) It's breaking a rule on this forum
c) The idea behind a discussion board is to reply to other posts as well as the original post. That's why it's threaded discussion.

+ Some of them have been here 6 years and never caused any issues

And? That doesn't mean anything. Just because the thread is old does not make it worthwhile to keep.

It's a forum. Hence the name, Habbox FORUM - I thought even you would be able to work that one. In addition, you don't use these threads, there are plenty of newer users 2009 onwards who are trying to get a bigger post count to establish themselves. Is that doing any harm? Is it ****. Is it harming you or anybody else? No. Just because you've been here a bit longer you have forgotten what it's like to be a newb. I know you haven't been here very long in comparison to some people and that leads me onto my next point, maybe you don't understand Habbox and what it's about. A fun place. Fun. Fun. Would you like a dictionary definition for the word fun? Stop trying to squash it all.

Evidence for this? Personally the day the management started panicing about number of threads posted and how many users were online is the day this forum started to go downhill.
If I remember rightly there were virually just about two members banging on about habbox being less popular. Quite honestly It is seems the londer you shout and the more dominant you are the more you appreciated these days even if the threads can be moved to spam - it means that the person was spamming in the first place and continuing to do it all the time should mean action is taken. I do not believe that the FM or AGM (staff) have taken the right decision on this occasion and in fact it has the reverse effect of putting valuable members off the forum.
At the end of the day, Jake, Habbox Forum is not all about 'you'.
