Trash dump forum
Suggested by BT in this thread, db had suggested something like this a long time ago: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...=0#Post11747379
What do mods/admins think? I think having a place to fire no-content/dumb threads from OOT, NVG, BBV4L, strat forums would be a pretty crap-ass forum, but a number of people seem interested! I do think it could reduce the amount of bitching/complaining about mods and provide an outlet valve that doesn't currently exist. A number of people have stepped up as potential mods as well. |

Re: Trash dump forum
I guess I kinda thought that this was the designated function of BBV/BBV4Life. It was part of the charter of BBV, at least.

Re: Trash dump forum
MW,
I don't really follow those forums. If the correct answer is simply "move those threads or tell those users to post in BBV4L" then that is great, a mod from there should go post that in the thread. |

Re: Trash dump forum
Diablito,
I like the idea. I think BBV is a good example of this working. It started out as a forum for [censored] strategy posts and blossomed into a strong community even creating the need for a splitoff forum. I could see a community developing there as well. Not sure what the OOT mods would think, but it would probably make things a lot easier for them. I think this is distinct from BBV because as I said, BBV started for bad strategy posts and the community blossomed creating BBV4L. I don't post there so this could be off, but I don't think it's supposed to be a trash dump so much as it just being an offshoot of the community that developed that required an off-topic post forum. |

Re: Trash dump forum
I think this is a pretty lame idea. If a thread sucks so much it should be moved to a trash dump forum, then it should just be locked or deleted. Decent no-content threads already exist in BBV/BBV4L and OOT, and if users really want to stink up a message board with B.S. they can go to another site. I like that 2+2 at least has *some* standard of decency. We're a smart, intolerant group of wiseasses who self-police against idiotic posting using banhammers, *s, and thread deletion.

Re: Trash dump forum
Could someone please show an example of a good thread that would belong in the trash dump that could not be posted in either BBV, BBV4life, OOT, LoL or any of the other off topic forums?

Re: Trash dump forum
true garbage should still be deleted. it's the posts that enough people think have merit (even if they don't) that go here.
it actually should provide a useful training ground for those too impatient to read the stickies before posting. it will also give those people who feel they are targeted unfairly to prove that the posts which would have been locked or deleted really should not have been discarded. presumably, in those cases the threads will be rescued from the "trash". |

Re: Trash dump forum
if it wasn't for tuq wanting this forum, i'd probably think it not worth trying.
i think tuq will make it, at worst, entertaining. |
