What's acceptable?

[Agent Proto]

No, because of the mention of the staff being behind the decision. When I ask, I expect to be answered with a straightforward answer, not be sidetracked with accusing me of trying to be staff.

the reason that I'm closing them all is because the level of threads getting started in GC is getting pretty sad. If those stay open all it does is encourage more of the same.

Sounds straightforward enough to me. Staff are in unison and that's something that I really shouldn't even need to mention everytime something like this comes up.

It doesn't to me. You never mentioned that it was a staff decision, and the way you sound made it that it was all your doing.

Well, it's safe to assume this from now on, Proto.

[Levian]

Good to know you guys're cleaning up genchat. Maybe next month I'll look at more than 4 threads.

Oh great. Look what you've done now, staff!

Ten bucks says Raistlin is hijacking Proto's account as we speak. I can see his fallback strategy of arguing over semantics emerging already.

[q=Proto]The reason why I made this thread is to get an explanation why threads are getting closed. There was no announcement saying "All dumb threads will eventually get closed if they get too dumb."[/q]

Originally announced by RSL two months ago
The more topics you make in general chat at the same time, the less attention each one will receive. It's a lose/lose for everyone.

[q=RSL, again]Dear General Chat,

You are getting out of control. Please remember that while every post doesn't have to be serious and 100% on topic, some logic should still be followed. You are currently a mess.[/q]

[Agent Proto]

=P Well thank you for proving me wrong Big D.

[Big D]

No-one reads the announcements anyway.

[Rostum]

I never post in General Chat anymore, way too random and spammy, and nothing I say gets taken seriously there. =P

[Jojee]

I read the announcements, I'm a good girl :fplove:

And come on you bitter people ^_^ GC is supposed to be fun, and when something serious comes up, I'll take it seriously if it's really serious in nature or I know it means a lot to the person. But if you're really looking for serious discussion only, you should be looking in EoEO ^_~

(Sorry but, "it's too spammy so I never go there" is what people usually say when they can't keep up or they feel left out... at least from my experience =P *dies* I must admit some of the threads are pretty out there, but there are plenty of good threads to post in. And when I say plenty, I mean most of them. ^_^)

I never read/notice the announcements but Im a rebel like that.

[edczxcvbnm]

I read the annoucements but I don't remember annoucements from like 2 months ago...or even a month ago most of the time.

This doesn't really bother me as I can't make threads about what I really want to talk about. I remember even back in the day some of my awesome threads got closed...such as talking about how cool it would be if Dinosaurs were in outerspace having starwars like battles and stuff.

[DMKA]

I've yet to see a thread closed by Leeza that I didn't want closed myself.
