goddamnit names are a pain Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/315616-miscellaneous-section-rules-updated-please-read/?p=6397738 People hardly make threads as it is, and I don't think these rules are being enforced. A lot of stuff in misc is legit anyway. [Serious] tag is a joke and you all know it. Instead, I propose that things like spam itself are banned from Misc. Threads like these: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/324982-serious-topic-do-not-joke/ No offense, Raeg ='D that literally contribute nothing to the site even more so than normal.

Just Crouton Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Wouldn't this just make Misc a General 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Wouldn't this just make Misc a General 2? At this point, it's quite similar, yes. AMAs and threads for slightly random things are more misc than general, though. Which (thankfully) is what most threads in misc are, rather than pure spam.

Maeriberii Haan Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 We can also push for General being for actually proper discussion instead of being a more sophisticated Misc, and make the no-spam rule there stricter to keep things on topic. though tbh, not having any problem in the slightest about spam topics in misc.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah I don't see the issue of spam topics. Especially as that place usually has a bunch of topics that come and go each day no matter what. Some topics survive a bit, others don't. Those topics aren't doing much bad and it makes some people happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I didn't say it was an issue. I had a suggestion to replace the "one topic per hour" rule, which honestly isn't needed. If they want less spam (hence the hour rule), then just ban spam.

Maeriberii Haan Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 It's probably there to prevent flooding, I believe. Some guy would probably do that sooner or later without the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a suggestion to replace the "one topic per hour" rule, which honestly isn't needed. If they want less spam (hence the hour rule), then just ban spam. That rule was there because people were really being stupid with it. This way keeps it at a more reasonable level. We want spam, but not like, outrageous spam. If someone can't wait an hour...well that's their problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 General is SUPPOSED to be orderly discussion. It is supposed to talk about things that don't have a more specific section around the forum, but it still has to keep on topic and serious. There is no reason why it should be looking like Miscellaneous =/ Miscellaneous doesn't really need rules. Just common sense like "don't post pornography". The anti-flood rule was because as much as it is allowed to get spammy, it becomes the kind of spam nobody enjoys if people keep making 50 threads per minute just because they can, burying mostly everything rather quickly and therefore making threads pass unnoticed and just die down before they start. There was a flood problem when the idea of the section was being tested. Eliminating spam is taking off the very reason it exists: To have fun with lax and wacky spam. Flooding also kills this.
