I really don't know about this... Wait, let me check something:

Since there are various suggestions that get made over and over again, here are some things about which you should [i]not[/i] make threads here. In general, such threads are unnecessary, as public interest in these topics is already recognized, but decisions have already been made regarding them.


[b]4) Do not request new boards to be created that cover a narrow topic.
...
9) Do not request anything related to joke cards.[/b]
...

These rules are here to avoid wasting everybody's time, since any topic made on these subjects will have about as much impact on the site as my vote in the next United States presidential election. And I'm not even an American citizen.


Failure to comply with these rules will result in your stupid, stupid topic being locked and a warn being slapped onto your forehead.

...

[b]4) Do not request new boards to be created that cover a narrow topic.[/b]


Some sites have lots and lots of boards - in some cases literally millions.


YCM has 33. And you can't even see them all. And you can't post in all the ones that you can see.


Because of this, every board must count. Therefore, any new board that would be added to YCM needs to cover a reasonably broad topic, or there is simply no point in making them. Video Games? Broad enough; we added it. Movie Reviews? Not broad. Not added.


Use discretion here, but as a rule of thumb, any board that would be less popular than Debates will not be created.

...

[b]9) Do not request anything related to joke cards.[/b]


Currently, joke cards have one thread to themselves, in Games (where post count doesn't matter), and nothing more. Several people have asked that their territory be expanded.


The short answer is: No.


Joke cards, scientific experts have concluded, are never funny and contribute nothing of value to the site. They don't need a board to themselves, because such a board would be terrible; they don't even need their topic moved to somewhere where post count is enabled, as joke cards are so worthless that posting them is not an act deserving of even a single post count. And post count has no importance at all, so that's saying something.

Rules are still rules, especially such thread. The thread, from what it appears, if you continue to the last pages, still applies. And, about the JCT, LiAM has one in AoC: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/164676-the-official-joke-card-thread/ That one is fine enough. Last post was today, only a few hours ago. And the last post in the original was only three days ago: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/73676-the-official-joke-card-thread/

The Joke Card Thread is useless now, and something new is needed to replace it.

Why?

As in, why does something new NEED to replace it? If some idiot is stupid enough to think Joke Cards are worth making, they're probably stupid enough to miss the fact that a Joke Cards section even exists. We pander enough to idiots as it is, and don't need a section devoted to spamming.

... In my opinion.

The thing is, we need somewhere to put all of it. Spammer's gonna spam, all I'm trying to do is help organize it into 1 section.

From the moment it has its own section, it becomes permitted fun that needs standard regulation just like any part of the site. Take the Games section of General. It's essentially a legalized spamhole where people go to have [i]fun[/i]. Making joke cards is a possibility the Card Maker grants. Why not have fun and take advantage of it? Isn't it why everyone joins the forum in the first place, to have as much fun as the rules allow? I don't mind such a section at all, as long as the "jokes" are kept civil.

Then again, I don't moderate the section and I can't even begin to imagine the amount of trouble CC Mods go through. From an outside perspective, it seems to me that allowing Joke Cards to have their own section would result in less work than nowadays, when mods have to delete threads and warn people each time they post such cards, simply because there just isn't a right section for them.

Just ban Joke Cards.

If spammers gonna spam and all that, why would they go to that one particular section? If you had a city crawling with crime and such, would your first thought be to put a small section of the place dedicated to crime, or would it be to beef up your police force?

Why? If people want to make joke cards, let them. It's their problem if they aren't funny, but this is essentially saying "here's a feature that allows you to do something, that something doesn't offend anyone, but you can't do it either way because you'll fail at doing it"? As always, if the joke is inappropriate, actions are taken; otherwise, it holds as much validity to forbid Joke cards because most are terrible as it does banning Realistic cards because honestly, most of those are terrible as well.

In my opinion, banning joke cards is putting unnecessary limits on how much fun you can have with the card maker.

It's only comparable to "crime" if you insist on making it pass off as such.

Spam Card Section. Lulz. I support.
[/quote]

That'd promote SPAM in general, which is against the rules. With the wording you had, this idea will never happen.

I need his support, not his fluency with words.

Added.

His support will help you none. The idea behind this has been pushed left and right through the mod forum, nothing became of it for the last 2 years.
