Using previous memberHQ threads system

No in fact you are taking the wrong assumption. I am saying that totalitarianism is when you force upon people to do as you wish regardless of what your people believe and feel. To establish rules based on what few believe while the majority is against it.

Totalitarianism is when the government (or in this case the mods) controll everything, literally everything. MLK is FAR FROM THAT.

This is like a backup check before immigrants can enter the country. Something most if not all developed countries do!

If rules like this are established it will not be long before more and more will be established until it turns toward one. Are you unaware that everything has consequences?

I've got an idea, let's take away all the rules cause they could lead the staff to set more rules. ALL USING TORA'S LOGIC, LOL.

And well, since consequenses so far aren't completly good, for the current way things are going, I think it worths a try to improve the conditions, right?

The argument is about regulating and placing limits on what people can post in.

That is my solution.

You are moving toward pointless threads.

And that, pointless threads, are the problem.

Setting strict rules when most people find the current system to be fine is definitely not right.

No, most people don't think the current system is right.



Problem Statement: Many new members are joining the forum and doing nothing but creating pointless threads in the den and member HQ.

Statement of Purpose: To reduce the number of pointless threads.

Solution 1: Prevent new members from being able to create OT threads until certain conditions have been met.

Solution 2: Change nothing, but continue to lock the pointless threads that are occasionally created.

Solution 3: Modify the rules so that members can be banned for creating threads that are deemed pointless.

Solution 4: ???

A mix of 1 and 2. Please x)

Seriously? Come back with something worth reading.

How bout solution 4:
Add spam to the list of rules; which it lacks.
Establish discipline for those that break the rules in place.
Problem solved.

^ That is solution 3.

And that's what I'd call a totalitarian system.

Let's see... you want to establish discipline by letting people post Spam.
DAT LOGIC.

I honestly do not see the point in loads of chat threads. Where did they all come from all of a sudden? I post in Tora's occasionally, but that is about it. Sometimes it's the same people posting in various threads about the same things. With regards to the chatting, maybe we should have an official Community thread that can be pinned and people could use that as the 'chat thread'. That way, at least it's restricted to the one thread and if you so wish, you can chat there instead of MSN etc and you won't get little groups formed and everyone can get involved.

With regards to the questions and answers threads. I don't see any harm in that. It's in a subforum and is not 'in the way' as such where as the chat threads are pushing more important threads to the bottom where people will not be able to see them.
