First word that pops into your head
Cmon just say it's not spam and it doesn't even add to your post count ... For this reason post count was disabled in this forum or in other words my story for example is not welcomed on those forums, or free talk about things ...
BTW @ Tiel I don't think this encourages more activity in the futurecraft sections at all ...

Re: First word that pops into your head
I don't know where you're getting the idea that free discussion isn't welcomed. The very existence of this subforum contradicts your assertion.
The only logic that I can give for your claims is that posts don't count here...but if you are truly here to discuss things instead of just creating, as you say, spam, then the lack of reward should not be an issue.

I'm mostly active in this section I think, which means that by the time I get ensign (which you chose quite weirdly to award an officer icon :P ) you all get admirals which is a bit of frustration ( cmon it's always nice to get a new rank, even in a forum. It created a whole genre called RPG ). We might just change the way ranks are awarded and give them more meaning later ...

The thing is, if posts count in this subforum than the whole rank system becomes null and void if threads like this continue to exist. I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say here, but from my perspective it's a choice between strictly regulating an area that's supposed to be for free discussion, or simply not making posts count in it so attempts to circumvent the post/rank system (such as this thread) are humorous at best.
I will make a thread in Forum Suggestions, as this is not the place for this type of discussion.

Re: First word that pops into your head
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a "spam" thread. I.E. people post whatever, provided it doesn't break forum rules. As long as they don't completely derail it, I'd say unlock it. I'll leave the decision up to Tiel, Iv, or whoever, but this *is the "Off Topic" area.
Re: First word that pops into your head
Off-topic doesn’t mean on-spam. I locked per request. You can appeal to the court (obviously you won't be the judge on the case)

Re: First word that pops into your head
As Tiel said, the Forum Suggestions subforum is more relevant to this debate right now. If posts in Off-Topic don't count for anything, then it doesn't really matter, but if they do, threads like this are a no-no. I don't support this kind of thread because I think it's stupid, but that's not really what the question is about. I was quite glad when this got killed off on the old forum. See the first response to this thread. Otherwise, FS is the place to go.Commander Error wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a "spam" thread.
