Testing the waters

Postby Angel_Killer_777 » Fri Oct 18, 2002 6:44 pm

Yo mods, whats up?

Now I remember reading that unproductive threads like "what does this word mean to you" will be deleted. But those threads do fall in to the description of the WOT forum "Wacko weird crazy off topic fun stuff goes here... ". Plus nothing here is productive, if it was it would at least go in the OT forum. So, what are the rules for threads here?

either they reallt aren't on, which is odd cuz there is supposed to be a shit of them now, or my question stuped them.
I'm not asking to be a hero, sometimes works out that way.

I don't even know what is considered spam in this forum, that's why I'm asking.

Whether it falls into the category or not isn't the issue here. The issue is that it is unproductive. Alright, so then we have to understand exactly what is productive. Productive, as I see it, is a thread that actually goes somewhere rather than just going in really big circles like those threads do. They serve no purpose other than letting, say, ten or so people talk to each other back and forth.

And, rather than argue about this, why don't you just accept that Phade, and many other people, doesn't want those pointless threads around here?

I don't think the mods are going to directly respond to posts very often, but don't think that they aren't there.

And as for spam, if you are debating whether something you've written is spam or not, don't post it. It's pretty simple. If you are debating, then most likely it's not even worth posting.

Then why the devil is the way off topic here?

[MOD]: Because this thread is about mods and the site.

I have acceted that Phade does want "pointless" posts around here. Do you see me posting one word again?

I want to know what is concidered pointless. I didn't consider one word pointless, but alot of other people did. I did consider those AIM chat threads pointsless, but no one less ever seemed to think so.

So I'm asking the mods, sense they are the ones who do the moding, what is concidered pointless. Unless they just like wasting there time deleting thread after thread, it would be a good idea to put up some real guide lines or something so that people know what to is conidered spam and what is concidered "productive."

Spam - an unsolicited advertisement usually in the form of an email or forum post.

Pointless thread - any thread that has no conversational or informational point, usually used to boost a person's post count or just to have their name on the board
