Useless Crap Subforum
« on: May 03, 2007, 01:40:11 PM »
Just offering my opinion to the mods and admins, take it for what it is.

Personally, I find these forums unreadable.  I occasionally log on during class because most forums worth visiting are blocked, and when I come here with the intent of "checking up on the gang," I run into this:

What I'm getting at is, should the Everything Else forum be used BOTH as a forum for non-FE-related discussion AND as members' personal playground on which to play assgrab?  Speaking from experience, I mod a forum for one of the oldest (if not, THE) oldest online games still being played - Subspace/Continuum - where whiny shits are abundant.  Having a Useless Crap subforum for inside jokes and very specific messages that may be addressed to only one or a few forum members does wonders.  It makes the other subforums readable: all the posts in that subforum would actually CORRESPOND to the name of that subforum.  Basically what I'm suggesting is, take the useless crap out of Everything Else and make Everything Else more than just a refuse bin for spam and upping post counts.  Maybe even merge Everything Else into the General Discussion forum with the addition of a Useless Crap forum.  I know half of you will respond with "Just don't read it, then," which is why I'm directing this post at the mods and admins who realize what a terrible answer that is.

Daniel said he'd make a subforum for that kinda thing but he still hasn't got round to it

And by the way, some of those threads are awesome and do not qualify for a useless crap sub forum!

I believe that's what the angry ranting forum is for.

I got promised a "chat" subforum, when I got banned he told me he was gonna make one, so I don't spam everywhere so much I guess

I thought angry ranting was more tied in with the discussion/debate on Flat Earth, and that it consisted mostly of threads started by newcomers who'd post the routine "omg rofl flat earth? fucking idiots" (in more or less detail than that, with more or less emphasis on scientific evidence).

Yeah thats pretty much what Angry Ranting is for I'm sure. Maybe I'll ask again about the chat sub-forum

Supposedly, but the mods let posters rant about more than just the FES. Besides, do you really think the "ZOMG TE ERTH IZ ROND LOLOLOLOLOL" noobs go out of their way to post on that board? They just throw their crap wherever, so the Angry Ranting typically doesn't accomplish it's purpose. Angry Ranting is effectively your "Useless Crap" forum.

I really don't think the question is about new boards, it's about moderators doing their job. No offense mods, but even when I first came here the rules were rarely enforced, and within the past week mod activity has been next to none.
