Pamela Springstein posted:the thing about chat threads is that, while not everyone enjoys them, the people posting in them generally do. killing a chat thread means that that group of posters arent able to hang out anymore. I don't see how that benefits anyone. I agree with you. I mostly post in the chat thread because it’s a fun way to pass the time while I’m at work. My job has the always has news on the work TV so I like having a place where I can talk about what’s happening in the world with a relaxed atmosphere. I known the memes/ in jokes might put some people off but overall I think we are really nice to any new posters. I also agree with what some plague rats said. I think Cspam is at its heart a funny politics forum and if you want to have a serious discussion about your hobby there are other places on SA to do that. I think I’m general people should be enough to visit different parts of the forums.

Ardennes posted:Granted, is the current chat thread a big deal beyond it has its own thread culture that a bit out of step with Cspam? (That said, it was perhaps time it was relabeled considered how far is strayed.) I honestly don’t think the chat thread is that out of step with the rest of cspam. If you think the high page count is tuning people off then it is fine to start up a new one but overall I don’t think much needs to change. If some wants to talk about something other misspelling of Trumps name then they are welcome to post and move the chat threads discussion in that direction. The only time we made fun of someone trying to do that was when a permabanned poster kept trying to make us have a serious discussion about a cop who was convicted of killing someone.

maybe we could use a breaking news thread with a rule that posts have a minimum amount of content that is more than misspellings of a former presidents name?

Ardennes posted:I post here, but I am less confident about the situation. It isn't that cspammers are wild beasts or something, but lets be honest the tension have been rising for a while. I can be wrong but I don’t think anyone is seriously mad about a mod giving out sixers.

Korean Boomhauer posted:i mean yeah your unscientific approach isnt great because if someones posting in one thread alot they're not posting elsewhere. it doesnt mean that the other 90% of that thread isnt posting or reading elsewhere. I read a lot of other threads on here but I don’t post a lot because I rarely have something to contribute. I don’t think doing a statistical analysis of who posts where is helpful.

Oh Snapple! posted:nothing is gained by sourcing them. consider unsourced as the 'lite' part of fyad-lite. I think sourcing quotes from other places on this forum leads to way more drama than comedy. I only read the democrats/ liberals thread sporadically but I think it’s fine the way it is.
