Flūttershy Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 So, from what I have gathered, the off topic subsection has certain standards-for example, most forum games seem to be locked. No, I'm not here to complain about this, but instead I have a solution. How about a forum fun subsection of general chat where we could post forum games like Finish the Sentence or Ban the User Above You? Though of course post count would be turned of in this subforum, and there would still be some basic rules about blatant spam, but it would still be a more layed back place then off topic where almost anything goes.

theadmiral Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 So a dedicated section for spamming, sh*t posting, and circle jerking? Why didn't the admins think of this sooner!? I AM SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEO, BUT MY WEBCAM IS ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flūttershy Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 So a dedicated section for spamming, sh*t posting, and circle jerking? Why didn't the admins think of this sooner!? Well it's better than having spam posted in the legit threads! I've seen this done on other forums, and it worked very well. It was just all games and rarely any flaming. Granted this place is much bigger and filled with trolls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Oraange Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Do you mean a 'Forum Games' subsection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It sounds alright in theory, but I bet it would become a sh*t fest very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundZero Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 You could transfer all the games in there, like the ones in GTA sections (Who Am I, Guess the mission, etc.) and all others in general (Guess the football team, guess the movie, etc)... As for it becoming a sh*tfest, as long as it will be moderated, I'm sure it will be okay. Vanto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 This never works in a forum as big as this and always leads to conflict, spam, and makes a lot of the posting be confined to those forums, that contribute absolutely nothing for a community like this.

Vanzant Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I won't drag this out, the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flūttershy Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) But... But... Nah, I get it. Something that works for one place won't always work for another. Doesn't hurt to take a shot in the dark and ask though, I guess. Edited April 15, 2014 by rawrsnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GN 92 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Though of course post count would be turned of in this subforum, I don't think that's the problem.. It's probably server overload, just imagine all the people posting sh*t there. Nothing would handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Gen chat is the least moderated - theoretically - section of the forums. If it doesn't fly there, we wouldn't allow it elsewhere. Perhaps in the private boards, but that's another story. Use genchat and follow the example there for what we consider allowable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acehilm Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Wasn't there a section years ago dedicated to that which resulted in the banning of a MOD? I vaguely remember hearing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafia Drive Gunner Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Nope. Even if it doesn't contribute to post count, the overall quality of posts will deteriorate in the Off-Topic section. Now I'm not suggesting that it is always up to scratch, but it could be a lot worse if something like this was to happen. It would be the same as the good old days of The Pit where people would go to basically have flame wars. This was all great fun but it ended up bringing negativity to the whole forum and arguments started in there spilled over into other forums. Not a bad idea in some respects (if done correctly) but I can't see it working here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtamann123 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) That's probably similar to what the Pit used to be. And that got removed permanently. I wasn't here when that was around so I am not entirely sure what it was but It seemed like an anything goes type section where people could just let it fly. I have wanted a section where you can post pretty much anything as long as it wasn't porn/gore/excessively racist etc. In order to pull the spam out of Gen chat but the mods would never go for it.
