KFJ,

What is a "vanity thread" ?

KFJ,

What is a "vanity thread" ?

It's a thread made for the sole purpose of attention whoring. An example would be creating a poll asking how cool/dumb you are. Crap like that will be locked immediately.

How did this thread violate the Forum Rules?

[KungFuJesus]

It's disruptive and serves no purpose other than to incite people. I'm on the fence about even letting politics be discussed here at all. It could fall under #2 although it's not written exactly that way.

[ricola]

indeed, I take a massive #2 all over politics' chest ;)

[nate]

Hard to do, though, since Phil discusses politics on his show.

Limiting discussion of forums always has repercussions. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, just that there are gonna be whiners. But there are always whiners, and you're the boss, so screw them anyway. \:D/

I'm sure there are plenty of political chat rooms people can easily find. For Christ's sake will anyone really change thier stance because of something in a chat room. I'd rather discuss which breakfast cereal make me hurl (Super Sugar Crisps with a few extra spoonfuls of sugar).

Well, to bring this spamfest back on topic again, I modified the rules a little.
Nothing major, just changed some wording, took out the bit about "no worthless posts to increase post count" since all posts are equally worthless. haha

Good! We can't help but make worthless posts, so why would one assume that we're doing it to increase our post count? I'm glad you clarified that.

I'm not trying to incite people, just putting something out there for discussion and opinion. The forum is called 5th Ring, "Talk about anything" and I thought people might want to discuss these photos. Phil has discussed this on the show many times, so it's not foreign to PHS listeners. There's a difference between being disruptive and stimulating discussion.

I agree that limiting discussion on forums gets people all in a twist, something along the lines of "freedom of expression" and all that. I don't buy it and I'd rather keep this little part of the interweb polite and civil.

Could there be room for a forum what has semi-serious discussion? Not a humor-free zone, politics or calling people ass-wipes, like the link earlier displayed... just a place you could post something interesting and have discussion on it without it immediately going 'tard? We've had some pretty interesting threads going here. Just an idea...

People will go tard no matter where it is.
If you want a tard free or ON topic thread, just state it when you start it. Then let a mod know if it starts getting out of control and we'll either delete or split the topic from where it strayed.

[Dr. P]

Maybe it's not such a hot idea. I just think we could keep it together and have a fun forum where we discuss topics with throwing the gay flag every few posts :gay: Or getting bent because a current topic was being discussed we didn't agree with. We've done it before on religion, of all things, for several pages before it became a problem. And that was with complete freedom to call someone a D-bag. I dunno. Like I said, just an idea.

I know I am very green, wet-behind-the-ears, etc. to SFJ, but it seems like it would be worth a try. If it doesn't go well - ok, lesson learned. I agree with KFJ that threads can be started with the intent of real (cerebral) discussion and if others get outta' line then let them know - but to actually have the "space" to do it might make it more thoughtful-friendly, and convey the intent of real discussion as opposed to humorous insult exchange.

[Vako]

If I may lend some thoughts to this conversation, there is no getting around Human Nature. From time to time, there are inevitably going to be cultural misunderstandings, ideological differences, untern agression, misplaced anger, and conflict. If one is going to run a public forum, occasional conflict should be expected.

I have noticed that the conflict around here is resolved swiftly. One of the reasons I have stayed around here for so long is that I admire the civility of the people here. All truth be told, I'm 180 degrees from 90% of SFJ members. But like I've asked here before, Please try to be forgiving towards those who are not of the "democratic" majority. Want to scare me away? Here's how; destroy this website's ability for freedom of expression.

[KungFuJesus]

I'll probably make it some kind of group thing where you have to ask to join and then I'll grant request, something like that. Not sure yet, I'll have to work on that next. Haven't had a lot of spare time the past week.

As for threads with one or two words, those threads are perfectly acceptable in the Rusty Pelican 3AM forum. That's what it's for.
