Only Y, W words allowed within

i guess but my gripe was more with the format of hawkspace allowing people to post meaningless stuff in threads that maybe should have meaning or was initially suggested to have meaning? i don't know, i think what i really want is a middle ground between general chat, where meaningful posts are nonverbally required, and hawkspace, where you can just post whatever. like maybe i want to post about idk my cats and shit (i dont own any) in general chat but its kind of weirdly stagnant over there, and there are only a few threads consistently topping over there, and they have general topics, so i kind of feel discouraged from making new threads for really small meaningless stuff. on the other hand, if for example i were to make a thread like seawyrm's and have some minimal rules, then i'd like if people played along and didnt shitpost absolutely meaningless posts on my thread.

basically it would be cool if posts in a thread actually related to that thread and otherwise individual threads could be about anything. this is obviously not related to the thread at all so im being totally hypocritical but who cares. maybe ill crosspost it into idk subforum ideas? we chat about stuff?
