Oh yeah, I don't think anybody's advocating punishment of any sort. I sure hope I didn't come off as calling for heads. I meant more that we need to actually address whether or not we think this should be allowed for the future, which I argue that it shouldn't be.

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Schazer - 03-16-2016

I'd like to filibuster any mod actions being carried out in the forum until Loather herself has a chance to check in.

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Robust Laser - 03-16-2016

I am all for proposal th31re-b. I was a little annoyed last night but w/e that was momentary. Really now I just want the clutter to be cleared.


I do want heads, though. Not any specific heads. Just bring me heads from anywhere you can find them.

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Mirdini - 03-17-2016

I'm with Slorange on questioning the necessity of any mod action in this particular case.

Mehg's point does have merit though, and cleaning identical/functionally identical threads up seems like the neatest solution.

I'd vote for th31re-b now but I do agree with Schaz that I'd rather let Loather check in and give thoughts on the whole dealie first if possible.

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Loather - 03-17-2016

do whatever imo

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Jacquerel - 03-17-2016

if someone posts 20 banner threads then what happens is nobody replies to them and the regular threads return to the front page as soon as anyone cares to post in them, I don't see that it really interferes with much of anything at all

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - SleepingOrange - 03-17-2016

No? I don't think it's fair to analogize the posts of a bot designed by someone unconnected to the forum to the posts of an actual user. The bot wants to sell us something; the user is trying through the medium of multiple posts or threads to make a point or a joke or otherwise express something. I don't think we need to dissect the dialectics and codify anything to make reasonable decisions as similar-but-distinct events like this happen. I don't see the utility in taking an action in this specific case or in establishing hard rules for potential repeats.

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Mirdini - 03-17-2016

Actually agreeing with Slorange on further thought, let Hawkspace anarchy reign.

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Dragon Fogel - 03-17-2016

It's inconvenient to have several identical empty threads clustered together.

It may not be a huge or common inconvenience, since not everybody's going to archive-browse Hawkspace every day, but it is an inconvenience to everyone who will, for whatever reason, decide to do that.

That is a very minor utility, it's true. But as far as I can see, it's more beneficial than "don't do anything", and nobody has offered me a reason to change my mind on that.

I don't even mean "has given me a reason I disagree with", I mean "there's no reason at all". "We don't actually need to" isn't really a reason on its own, since you can say it about almost any action at all.

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Loather - 03-17-2016

i don't see the benefit of merging over duplication, but again, my official stance is to just do whatever you want

i mean it's cool if you just leave the threads too, hawkspace is all about chaos over functionality; just see the old ideas topic, heh heh h

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Dragon Fogel - 03-17-2016

I don't really have a strong preference for merging over deleting, I suppose. Either way it limits the inconvenience.

I'm still voting for delete but if there's a preference for merging I'll change my vote to that.

proposition denied

RE: New and Less Shitty Subforum Ideas Topic - Schazer - 03-17-2016

Loather's jumped in like I wanted, so:

I'm against deleting content for as long as this is a forum and not a USB stick and space isn't a concern - even if there are issues with how exactly that content is spaced out.

Ergo, my vote's to merge all identical threads which currently have zero replies with some kind of explanation that this was the result of a threadmake spree. Not all the threads though 'cuz Reyweld's already doing things thoroughly in the most positive spirit of Hawkspace and trying to make entertaining things happen in some of 'em.

RE: Subforum Ideas Topic: The Quorum Quorner - Mehgamehn - 03-19-2016

Sure, Petey can stay. As long as he's not secretly the recurring boss from the Mario Series of Video Mario Games

RE: Subforum Ideas Topic: The Quorum Quorner - OrangeAipom - 03-19-2016

I cannot vote for or against petey because I don't understand it.
