Anyway, forum does look somewhat repulsive to me with all those rules and names like General Discussion Thread. So it's probably even more repulsive for newcomers... However, I guess I keep forgetting that North Korea is our demographic target. heywoodu 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,504 Posted January 7, 2018 #306 Share Posted January 7, 2018 [OFF TOPIC] General chat It's a thread, no need to have 'thread' in the name of a thread to specify that a thread is a thread.

heywoodu 13,504 Posted January 7, 2018 #308 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Just now, OlympicIRL said: Ok, give me the cons of the format regime (unless you want to offer me the pros ) - A thread is a thread, it's not necessary to specify that in the thread title - An OP is the first thing we as users (and more importantly, newcomers) see: basic information like a link to an official website and a schedule should be there (without having to scroll down and/or click on a link to open another site, as it is now, users don't want to have to open more sites, they want to see their info on-screen) - If there's big news, people should feel free to open a thread about it without having a huge chance of this being merged into some general thread. It's a forum, once the big news is not news anymore, it'll die down by itself - The bar to opening new threads is way too high when either you have to use a strict format or a moderator comes in and changes the whole thing without being asked to do so Probably more, but I still got to write my bit about this weekend's luge World Cup before the darts starts If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

If I see a thread with the name [OFF TOPIC] Politics I would think to myself "hey, a thread, about politics!" and what do you know, I'd be right!
