Discuss anything

[mrwoooooooo]

What is management's opinion on the threads in discuss anything? Does rule A7 need changing?

this thread is pointless.

I find it really worrying though that threads are remaining in that section that are clearly awful. It's all nice that you encourage posting but it is encouraging really weird threads that have no meaning. I don't want to know someone who I don't knows mums maiden name.

There's clearly a correlation between pointless posting and 'Post 100 posts this week and get VIP'.

I do think that 'Discuss Anything' is slightly restricted (for example, I'd put the Habbox nomination thread in spam in there), but if there's threads that only have a one or two word answer and promote no further discussion, it should be in spam. So the mothers maiden names, favourite Habbox rule etc.

I'm currently going through the my unread post from today and any that I think should be moved to Spam, will be moved to Spam as they have been already. Although these posts seem pointless to most, some of them are spurring slight discussion. They're better than than the "What did you eat/drink/watch last" threads though!

Last time there was a spur of these one word reply threads, there was a feedback thread just like this one, you probably remember it! It had a poll to decide what would happen to these threads and the result was that they would stay in Discuss Anything and post count would increase.

I don't think it's posting these threads that are the problem. I think the problems are the people just going into these threads and many others (some of which they know nothing about) and just posting completely pointlessly just to get their post count up to get some Tokens or VIP.

Can we concede that discuss anything should have its post count disabled and spam have its post count enabled. Far more meaningful posts.

Ok, so I just had an actual look in discuss anthing.

MODERATION DEPARTMENT, GET A GRIP WHY IS THERE SO MUCH **** IN THERE?

Spammy one word threads and posts will be removed. If they haven't been already then it's because no one has got to them yet, however I assure you that they will be sorted properly asap.

Except all the old threads

Thanks for the neg rep Chippiewill, I didn't know creating threads warranted that.

No one is forcing you to open up and read the threads and we may as well move every second thread that exists in discuss everything if we follow your logic. God forbid people in this community who didn't make their accounts in 1990 create some discussion and conversation to keep things active

hxf is for teens, you don't expect extensive discussion in every thread, however i do think some of the threads in Discuss Anything could actually promote some good discussion like we could discuss the reasons why ass is better than boobs but yea some threads are weird

[Nick]

Do yah think there should be specific rules for just the discuss anything forum then?
