Top 10 coolest (playable) game characters.

Do you mean a trash bin section? Seems to be a good idea.

[spiraldoor]

Do you mean a trash bin section?

Pretty much, yeah. And locked threads which are actually interesting and were locked for a good reason (such as the thread-starter's request) could be left in their respective forums.

[Xenon]

That's because you lock them. And don't act like all non-game topics reach 20 posts...they don't.

I haven't locked all of them. The ones that I genuinely thought could be good discussions, just sank down the page almost immediately.

And Rayman is...a game. Therefore, those with enough interest in Rayman to become members of a Rayman forum are...gamers. We are all gamers here. Naturally, we would like to be allowed to talk about games, and not just have one thread for all the thousands of games we've played.

You already do talk about games you've played, in the "What games are you playing now?" thread. And that topic is proof that multi-discussions can work.

I also think there should be a Spam subforum, where pointless and stupid threads could be moved after they've been locked. And nobody would be able to post there. I'm sick of looking at a bunch of locked threads every single time I visit this place. But I would rather talk about the games forum first.

We already have one of those, actually.

That happens to a lot of threads. It wouldn't happen if they were in a subforum, as there wouldn't be a second page to it. Unless it was extremely active, of course.

That thread was meant to about games that we're currently playing.

And have you noticed that that thread is massive? And you think people wouldn't post in game threads.

O RLY? Where?

*EDIT* Fixed bbcode. *EDIT*

[stan423321]

Could I ask... where?
EDIT: Pwned by spiral.

[Xenon]

The reason why old topics don't get posts is not because they are far down the page, but because nobody has anything interesting to add.

The trash can isn't viewable to ordinary users, obviously.

[stan423321]

So many topics are outta it, anyway... And why isn't it viewable? O.K., that's not a huge problem.

[spiraldoor]

No. The reason they don't get posts is because they're far down the page. There are a whole bunch of ancient threads that I'd like to post in, but I can't, because it's "bumping", which is "annoying".

The trash can isn't viewable to ordinary users, obviously.

Two things:

1: Why isn't it visible?
2: Why are there still a bunch of locked spam topics not in it?

[Xenon]

No. The reason they don't get posts is because they're far down the page. There are a whole bunch of ancient threads that I'd like to post in, but I can't, because it's "bumping", which is "annoying".

That's not really right though, is it? People will post in any NEW topic (indicated by the brighter button) that they have something to add to. It doesn't matter how far down the page it is at all, as long as the last reply was made recently. Bumping is different. Bumping is posting in a topic that has NOT been replied to for a long while.

Two things:

1: Why isn't it visible?
2: Why are there still a bunch of locked spam topics not in it?

1: Why should it be visible to you? It's got advertisements and porn and stuff like that in it anyway.
2: Some are left to give the user who created it reason behind its locking. But there aren't any spam ones, as such.

So you would actually be annoyed if someone posted in the top thread after a long lapse in activity?

1: Why should it be visible to you? It's got advertisements and porn and stuff like that in it anyway.
2: Some are left to give the user who created it reason behind its locking. But there aren't any spam ones, as such.

1: In that case, why should it even be visible to you? Why not delete the advertisement and porn threads? Why hoard them all away for the mods to peruse? WHY?
2: Yes. There. Are. And what's wrong with just sending a PM to the creators of locked threads to give them a reason for the locking? Why leave the locked threads where everyone has to look at them?

BACK ON TOPIC - GAMES SUBFORUM

[Xenon]

I'm bored of arguing with you. You're telling me to delete all spam threads, but what is the point in that? Why not throw them into a trash forum where the authors' IP addresses can be compared with other spammers'?

By the way, I think you need to read my first point again. Your comment makes no sense in relation to it.

[Cairnie]

Trashed all three threads in question. Ugh god.

[stan423321]

Can we go b2t? Making a sub-forum... well, I think it's more community topic than off-topic.

[Tobbe]

A games sub-forum isn't the topic.

[stan423321]

So that's why we should go b2t.

[spiraldoor]

I'm bored of arguing with you. You're telling me to delete all spam threads, but what is the point in that? Why not throw them into a trash forum where the authors' IP addresses can be compared with other spammers'?

That's what I was suggesting. I only said to delete the advertisements and port threads, because they are not interesting or amusing in any way. Why not, I dunno, just ban those who post spam threads? Or keep the porn and advertisements in a seperate subforum to the more acceptable spam?

[blacklumbob]

1: ratchet(coolest gadgets out there)

Because. There. Is. No. Point. Threads that are in the trash forum are useless topics that cannot be seen by normal users, porn or otherwise. There is absolutely no need for these not-so-spammy threads to be viewable to users.

About the games subforum, I've already shared my view on that.

Then why are they?

Nobody shares your views. Where's Hunch?

[Xenon]

Because they aren't. Damn, why is this proving so hard to explain?

And I don't really care if you disagree with me. Or anyone else for that matter. I have common sense up my sleeve.
