If there is something you really don't want to see here, like something from other forums or internet groups or just something you can't stand, please post it here and I will try to comply.
I promise I won't put any captchas at all. I don't know if proboards has them or not but I haven't seen them.

What I really wouldn't like to see here is any of those nauseatingly cliquey type threads that the Random Discussion area of Wrong Planet is riddled with. I mean the sort of vomit inducing garbage that consists of a select band of "chosen few" starting threads to pat each other on the back and tell all and sundry how wonderful they are.

I mean the sort of vomit inducing garbage that consists of a select band of "chosen few" starting threads to pat each other on the back and tell all and sundry how wonderful they are. The hug a member and such? I started the compliment a member one one night when there were no new posts and I was bored and had done all those counting and movie name ones. I was trying to think of something and that seemed like it would fit. Thats the only nonconversational thread I've started though. I only participated in the nonconversational threads a couple times and I sure won't be starting any here If people end up starting any of the nonconversational threads I'll create a subforum for them. I could also make a member group forum that's accessed only by people who join it. That way folks who like all those type threads will have their own place for them and they won't be in the regular one. If anybody does end up starting them I'd like to find a compromise between those who like them and those who don't. I never really cared for those type threads myself and it can be hard to wade through them looking for regular discussion posts. Since you mentioned it I'll try and remember to start that if they are created. If I forget please remind me. I don't forget things because something doesn't matter much I forget because of menopause. I'm having a time remembering anything right now including bills, medicine and Dr appointments. So do remind me. I have to be reminded of most things right now and it won't bother me or anything. There is a good chance nobody will start them though. Thanks for letting me know what you want. I'd like to try and give members what they want more than they did at WP. |

Like I posted somewhere else I do like a general chitchat thread. I think it's a good way to get to know each other better and share stuff. We have one on my teen forum that is a lot of fun. But I dunno, maybe those can be seen as cliquey, even though anyone and everyone is encouraged to participate if they want. There is a lot of social nuance stuff I don't grasp. I just jump in and have fun and am oblivious to stuff that seems to bother others. Fortunately despite that, I don't get any complaints about my conduct for which I'm thankful.
Just want to add that I am very impressed and pleased with how this forum has been designed. So far it has everything I want as far as features go. Really fantastic job OOM!

I've got absolutely nothing against a chitchat thread or threads. What I object to over at Wrong Planet is that the same dozen or so members monopolize several of the Random Discussion threads and turn them into mutual admiration love ins. It's nauseatingly twee and it's also ignorant because it essentially excludes anyone who isn't a member of their exclusive little clique.

Absolutely no threads designed for the sole purpose of making fun of/saying mean things about people from WP or other forums.

I'll second that, not that I think that most members here would want to do stuff like that. Unfortunately there are a few members of WP who appear to have no qualms about expressing negative opinions about this website over there. Oh well, what ever makes them happy. |

Oh, I have no grudge against WP. I enjoyed the hell out of my time there. I only left because I got mad and it got too over the top with rules. One day I may go back, who knows. I made this one because I enjoy posting on a forum and like most of ya'll even if we disagree violently, and also because I thought maybe some WP folks might want a similar place with fewer rules and even if they don't post here often they could bring a locked thread over here and continue it or a PPR type thread etc where they don't allow it to keep on at WP.
I'm not saying it's ok to harrass or be a dick to somebody. It's not. I'll get that moderated. But it's ok to disagree in a dick like fashion, and to say something about the person's opinion or viewpoint, but not about the person. Phrasing is important.
But I'm in no way against WP. It's not a spite forum at all I guess. I thought it might be at first but it's not. Everybody from there is welcome here, even those who I really disagree with. They can come here and post their views all day long. No telling them to hush about it either. Let folks know they can migrate locked threads here as long as it's not a bar fight.

You can complain about something they did, but no making fun or bashing. Just common sense there. It'll start up some shit and we don't want that happening. |
