Suggestion to Admins (About Forum Games and Mass Posts)
Seeing that many people are following my introduction of forum games to the x10Forums I suggest that you make a sub-forum in the Off Topic for Mass Post Threads and Forum Games.

Please consider this because I believe that it will help organize the forums and add more FUN!

:lockd:

EDIT: Added poll and 4 options - Sharky

Mass Post Threads

whats that? did you mean a thread for spamming?

 

[pasacom]

No, he means threads like "The Biggest Thread Ever!" and stuff like that. No necessarily spamming. Don't be so stubborn

 

[Sharky]

pasacom, I don't think you mean stubborn, so stop being so accusatory.

Anyway, this has been suggested elsewhere, so we'll see. Added poll.

 

[Dan]

Not a bad idea, but not sure if there is really any point...
It means another click of the mouse!!

But I voted Yes anyway, I suppose it means they won't kind of get lost.

 

[Chris73]

Sure as long as the mass thread posting is counted for 0 credits and 0 posts then i am game

 

[tnl2k7]

Well it seems this thread isn't getting anywhere lol, everything's at 25% right now. I personally think they should be kept to the off topic section, because it is a bit of a waste of time having scroll down through all the sections when you're after one thats right at the bottom (especially on the PCs at school with monitors the size of postage stamps :eek4.

Keep them in the off topic section I say lol :biggrin:

 

[Sharky]

IMO they should be put in a sub forum in Off Topic, ie Forums\Off Topic\Games\etc

 

[Kansy]

I played in one... and in fact... sometimes (80%) they could be considered as spam...

People usually say the more stupid thing that they are thinking at the moment. Maybe this kind of threads and the biggest thread could be in a subforum where posts did not count.

 

[wolf693]

It's a great idea and (agreeing with the staff), it shouldn't be counted on post counts and credits. You may be taking part in the community, but really all you're doing is wasting space. However, as I enjoy these games, I think another sub-forum should be created!

 

[cowctcat]

Go sub forum.
I think having a sub forum for games would make more space for the more on-topic off-topic posts!

 

[Sharky]

For those who have replied "No, they are spam and waste space.", this isn't arguing for/against having them here on the forums at all, it's about having them in a dedicated area, just for games, with no post count increment or credit whoring. Probably shouldn't have put that entry in really

 

[callumacrae]

I think they should have their own sub-forum, because I don't really play them, and they get in the way

 

[Zdroyd]

Wow this got popular fast!

Also, if this sub-forum is created, could I be a Mod for it? Please!

Edit: God (Chris73) has a point, if you did not make credits from it noone would care if people spammed, as long as there are not 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 different threads.

 

[TechAsh]

I think they should have their own subforum and that posts made in this subforum should not count towards credits or post count. This way people can play these games but they are out of the way of users who don't like them.

I haven't played any of these games, so I just find them a nuisance, as you have to keep scrolling down to find other threads.

Hey Zdroyd,
How bout you apply to be a mod just like everyone else and wait to get picked heh? (Even if it's your idea, it's not fair for those waiting to get picked in the queue)

Anyways, I'm pretty much neutral in this situation unless someone gives a really good reason for/against the sub forum. I'll be waiting

 

[Zdroyd]

Terribly sorry, I did not know you had to apply to be a Mod...

 

[Sharky]

Keep it on topic guys....

 

[kkenny]

Keep it on topic guys....

(anyways...)

Yeah I think I would vote the "neutral" option because I have no reason to vote yes or no on this thing.

(And I didn't mean to offend you Zdroyd, but read the Announcements xD)

 

[Jords]

Yes it does need it own subforum
