Title: MODS ## Word Poker Stories-This and That etc.
Post by: MPOWER on September 08, 2006, 06:40:48 AM
Blonde   /:-|  can you please put all "This and that stuff" and "Poker word story stuff"
under it's own banner to get them off the General page. I think there here to stay.

The first one was funny and original.

Regards

M

Although I agree that they can be a pain at times and seems to take over the general discussion, isn't that exactly what the General Discussion board is for?

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the lot of them banished to the basement of Blonde, but too many people love the "post count bump" threads, so they will sadly be around for a long time to come.

I think a child board of general discussion 'word games and puzzles' would be good to keep it all together.  Are people really bothered about post count?  On some forums it grants you some kind of status, but not on here.  On a forum I used to post on they had a similar board, where your post count didn't increase, so that's an option.

i think its supply and demand..people seem to be happy to have a wee run at the stories...why i dont know as they are mind numbing  but its pretty harmless and it doesnt take much to scroll down to what you really want to see...c`mon now a wee bit tolerance

that aside if it annoys then ignore....if you put it on a child board thats another board....couple of potential blondes look at the site and are slightly put of as they dont know where the blazes to start reading..so not too many boards
hopefully they will gradually slide and disappear, if not then thats people power

We have these debates as a team of mods from time to time

We have plans post bb3 for a new Main board so are unlikely to want to add another child board too

I also don't see a lot of evidence on here, unlike some other forums, of post count bumping or post counts mattering. Post counts don't matter on here.

It's your forum and your board, if people want to post on the threads let them. If not, ignore it.

I suggested to tightend in a PM a while ago that the option to ignore threads/users would be a great idea.... maybe that is what the people want?!   it will put an end to banal threads being created complaining about banal threads being created

good idea, but I gather it's unavailable on this forum software.

I've never understood this argument fully.

As I see it, it's like saying to your local corner shop to please put the Daily Mirror and Daily Star on different shelves from the Times and the Independant.

I've tried it, he gives you a funny look.

It may be a dangerous precedent, what's next?

All welcome threads to be banished from the holy general discussion board? All happy birthday and all chirp threads perhaps. I think the excellent community spirit that exists on this forum is in part due to all these seemingly irrelevant threads.

If things get too bad, I guess an On Topic and Off Topic General Discussion board is maybe the way to go. As patman says though, you don't want too many boards if it can at all be possibly avoided.

I think a far better idea is to just ban bradley strider, charmaine, tightend, Claw75, blot pp, thetank and Nemesis.

Problem solved  ;goodvevil;

To what extent can they really be irritating?

I've never really experienced the on line interaction and entertainment they provide,  and think that they're a harmless laugh that serve only to project the friendly ethos of blonde and enhance the welcoming online ambiance they create

No, but that half-witted, attention craving, uppity bugger who loves himself more than he perhaps should will be. ;chieften;

He's asked me to tell you that he'll see you there.  :)up

I hadn't read this thread before posting my pointless friday afternoon thread, oops. Timing would suggest otherwise, so just wanted to clarify that.

Irritaing if you reply to them and forever see new replies to your posts. :)

On some forums you are able to hover your cursor over the title of the thread and it shows the 1st post of the thread (the authors)

Great idea if you ask me and it does come in handy.

"General stuff" is an internet standard! You can't move things like 2 word story from the general board because that is exactly where they are supposed to go :)  ;goodvevil;

Nice to be a Hippo Karabiner

They do a good job at squashing dirty little Reptiles.

Herbivores can still squash.
