Why is there...

[-:Undertaker:-]

Why is there a new forum that has been created (under which post counts do not increase) for short reply threads? I recall the forum having a vote in the feedback section, and the majority were clearly against this type of meddling around with what people can or cannot post.

If the vote is just going to be ignored (and I don't even think much of a vote on it, as far as i'm concerned it's none of my business how other people post) then why bother asking in the first place? rather similar to how the EU works.

A vote should be taken into consideration but management will always use discretion over the matter.

because @scott; cried lol
you can tell the forum will dry up and be merged with spam eventually. it wont work, it worked perfectly fine just the way it was. i dont see why they just didnt move that stupid picture thread.

From what I remember, wasn't Chris against this proposal and sided with the majority? or is it the case (as I suspect) that a number of forum users who lost the vote have contacted management and hounded them into implementing this as a 'trial'? I do wonder.

pretty much this, there was a huge thread over the post a random picture thread and then scott kicked up a fuss so they made a sub forum and moved all threads there rather than just putting the picture thread in spam

I didn't exactly like the idea to start with but once we found a way of making it fair to everyone then it wasn't such a big issue. So far it hasn't caused any problems so all is good!

He didn't really have an opinion (Or at least express one) iirc. And just went with the vote, at some point later he either achieved an opinion or I think Matt implemented the forum. Can't quite remember.

except the forum has a total of nine threads..... there is only so many of these threads that can be made, its not like every other section where it has a specific topic and there will always be something to post... (obviously not in the case of jokes since even that dried up and got merged). Was that even considered that people will stop posting eventually lol..... i liked them threads cause it was a good way for new users to get their post count up

No one will like whatever decision management do in regards of this. So people who aren't a fan will most likely have to deal with the fact that there is a sub-forum for these threads with post count turned off. Now if this forum wasn't HabboxForum and had a different userbase then these threads probably would have stayed where they are as it is the only forum who I've come across that care so much about them.

That is my rant over and I apologise if this annoys anyone.

In which case, why was a vote held and why did management not simply say that the results would be ignored if they went the 'wrong way'?

It would have saved a great deal of trouble, time and effort if it was made clear that the results would simply be ignored.
