Do Not Sell My Personal Information


A Question

Recommended Posts

I was gunna ask this in the trigger happy mods thread but it got closed down, this is my point really?

closing stuff when questions are answered is all well and good and like you said it keeps the forum clean Davvy but I have a question. bear with me because its a bit confusing.

Say I ask 'What is a colour?' and it gets closed after someone answers 'the visible part of the colour spectrum' or summat like that,

But then you do a search because you want the same question BUT you want a different answer, say you want to know how our eyes see this part of the spectrum.

Wouldn't you have to start a new thread and then have people moaning about creating duplicate threads?

Just what I can see happening is all, am not having a go at anyone or the way things have worked but just interested to see what would happen :)

most threads are not closed. A thread about the website may be closed.

jsut to add to that.. the old polls were closed to prevent further bumping, the mods did not realise i can prevent poll bumping, which is now resolved and thread was closed.

best give this up, as you can see all that happens is you get aggressive answers or threating action from the mods, they do there best, but the attitude and dealing with people needs a bit of refining

Whats needed is a sharp intake of breath, a pause for thought and get back to enjoying the forum like we should be.

After all we all have something in common TOC

Nuff Said :D

I think that it should be seriously noted that "The Natives are restless" :P

There was dissatisfaction posted a month or so ago in a post about wishing that TOC was the way it used to be.

It can't be all nostalgia.

The idea of "Ask a Question, get an answer, Amen" is ok on the specialised Forums for the different models.

The idea of post a question, an idea or an off the top of your head Post for discussion without straying off topic is a debate- Motion carried or otherwise, Amen.

The much maligned "Word Association thread " & "3 word story" are a bit of fun & exercise the brain in giving a correct but totally unobvious answer. Those who don't like it can just ignore it- live & let live !

The subheading of General Discussions is "Talk about anything here." When talking with your friends, one doesn't just say " Right, we have discussed that, Let's talk about something else." So, when we "talk" about something in General, it can wander off in other directions & still remain interesting till it dies a natural death as any talk subject will.

I would imagine that if someone used the Search function in General, they will find what they were seeking in the 1st few posts without difficulty & the rest is irrelevant to what they want to know, possibly

Am afraid I agree with S m smith pretty much, nothing much that hasnt said before and I think people have only done what they can which is vote with their feet and enjoy them self elsewhere. I rarely speak up on these things as I have met a lot of the mods and they are really really lovely people, but I am a forum addict for all my hobbies :nerd: as well as a mod elsewhere and some of the things go on here are new epic levels of ridiculous.

Nothing to do with the old days, I am not an old skool person, and I have made some brilliant and close friends from this site so it seems wrong for me to moan but I am a women it comes natural to me :lol:

As post die out completely maybe the hints will start to work.

Perhaps a thread on feedback in the website section that is not locked might help.

its hard to find a medium between people having a giraffe and topics being rubbish at what they are meant to be about.

yeah there are threads you can spam, word assosiation and other random ones and someone did theirs by posting in old polls. If people aren;t happy with their threads being locked could they be split so the good replies are still there and you can contribute and the random stuff goes off with other random stuff?

When the PC is off life goes on... so we shoud all sit in the garden at the weekend and soak up some rays, not be pale white like the geeks at "computer camp"
