But in general, yes, I'd have to agree with this sentiment. Trim the fat, don't give it its own name! |
I third that.
and such

Then tell me, where would u draw the line ?
COR is after all meant to be just that, chilling out and talking about just about anything.
of course all the really stupid ones get closed or deleted
like the numerous BTG i am drunk threads or vividboys numerous post pics of ur mom threads
but how far do u go without being overbearing ?

Are we talking about the relationship threads or the spam? Because the spam we're talking about isn't even in the chillout room, it's usually in local forums and takes the form of gigantic colossus superthreads with 5000+ posts (maybe even 10000+ or rapidly approaching it) and no real direction or purpose, which people use as personal chatrooms or to increase their post count.
To the best of my knowledge, the PPR and banshee threads were closed because their enormous sizes were slowing down the forums (which makes 100% sense to me because the forums are indexed by post and merging 10,000 records into a single result set takes a long time) - now, some of these spam threads have almost doubled in size over the past few weeks, and in a shocking turn of events, the forums seem to be getting bogged down lately.
If we're still talking about the relationship stuff then I don't know, some people ask for legitimate stuff but I wouldn't be too upset if the vast majority of "I want to ask this guy/girl out but I'm a dickless geek with no confidence, how do I do it?" threads were closed. A bit of common sense has to be applied I guess - just close the really stupid ones that sound like they're written by 12-year-olds. |

I did check with the management about the concerns voiced in this thread regarding the pathetic "9000+ reply threads that exist in the local forums."
There is only one which I'm sure all 3 of you know so you can understand, if you care to understand, why I was interested in the thoughts voiced here.
The word from above:
"threads like that DO take up server time as it slows down the seek time; however, if only a couple of people are posting, veiwing, refreshing then the difference is hardly noticeable; if u had 100 ppl doing it then u would see the difference."
I don't think we ever have more than 5 or 6 people doing it at a time.
If he had told me that we were causing Phlo's pages to load slowly or the forums to bog down, I would close the thread out of consideration for all of you. As it stands, he told me not to worry about it. |

Plus it's always nice to have a place, virtual or not, where you can always get advice. |
personally, i would like to see a relationship forum. usually when someone is posting about a serious topic that needs serious answers, a bunch of people will come in with a bunch of other crap. and frankly, if i post about a relationship i want advice, not meaningless spam. imo |
