I've been noticing a whole lot of closed threads here in GC.
Give me one reason for a thread -
which SHOULDN'T
be started - because it would be closed
and/or discuss each other's reasons.
And go!

This seems to be a prime example. :D

Because I have cancer.
A thread asking, "Do you like me? Do you reeeeally like me?"
No one cares about your self-esteem!
Ow you hit me right in the heart :cry:Quote:

One's discussing the awesomeness of Hitler.
CLICK ON THIS THREAD FOR FEE PORN!!!!
Fee porn????? Damnit! I only like the free stuff!
I did a thread discussing the emo-ness of Hitler...would that be you referencing it Harle-quin?
a thread entitled " how NOT to start a thread (Split infinitives slay me)"
lol :P jk
"you wanna meet hot babes near you?"
Well i have wanted to make a thread called "101 final fantasy VI inuendos"
And a subsequent thread in the rest of the ff forums
But i decided against it
Thats not really GC though
I actually didn't write "Split infinitives slay me" but I do find it pretty hilarious that one of the CK's or admins added that. Lovely! :pQuote:

then again, this would be closed too! :D :D :D
yea, well, they dont like me there anymore cuz i actually posted. :\ and a thread called omg would make me read on past it
Yeah - I think the point of this forum is more intelligent discussion, so even though spamming is fun, it would sort of hinder the so-called "good threads."Quote:

But then again, the forum, all members and indeed staff, will enjoy letting loose from time to time and encouraging a bit of friendly joking, whether that be through changing thread titles or making the sometimes slightly iffy thread.
Please note that this is my personal opinion, and in no way reflects anyone's else's as far as I know.
If you want to ask the staff about what is or isn't "spam" here please ask them, not me. ;)
But thanks for the replies though!
We're getting a bit off-topic though, so please everyone enough chatting, let's get back to examples of why not to start a thread.
(yay split infinitives!)
GENERAL CHAT IS NOT MEANT FOR DISCUSSIONS!Quote:

Are you mad? Pft, discussion in general chat, thats like demondude impressing me.
What'd I miss?
Actually, I think demon-dude trying to impress you would be a good example of a bad thread.Quote:
