The original posts could easily be squeezed down to one post per section.
One post for the art.
One post for the item list.
One post for the tallying of what came from what.
OP for "Heres where you go!"
Could function like a collaboration art shop. Each list helper grabs a section, reserves and works on it.
And they really are redundant, they all end up with the same conversations in them. Even this month there were two? Maybe three? MC threads. Same discussions in each.
If there were more indepth conversations in the threads, I wouldnt mind, but they all seem to be repetitions of "I dont like this item because REASON HERE." or "OMG I LOVE THE EYES IN THIS ITAM" or even "lol good art!"
Well gosh, then it is just so strange that they are allowed. I mean repeat threads are allowed that discuss the same topic... oh and RIG lists have been giving the "ok" by an admin. Hmm wait, I guess those are the reasons they are allowed. razz Same for MC threads. *hurray sarcasm
Also, posts do have code limits and I do like to keep my items lists nice and neat. Shoving everything I wish to convey into one post would be problematic.
*cough* Not the point. I have already told you that a collaboration would be very difficult.
The threads may have similar discussions in them, but they are not duplicate responses. The RIG threads are just as much for the users and the artists. They allow the users to respond to what they want to pertaining to the topic. (items, art, statistics, etc etc, each in their own thread) The artists are given the opportunity to get indirect feedback from the users over the theme and items featured in said RIG. Such threads arrive once a month and stick around for a bit before being lost in the sands of time. The threads are GCD material and really the only reason why you seem to be against them is because they would be taking up 3-4 spaces where other GCD topics could be on the first page. But then again during the RIG hype, such threads wouldn't be given much attention anyways.
If one doesn't like certain threads that follow the rules of the site, then one must merely put on
their big boy pants and ignore them. It is not too difficult.
No need to get sassy. I'm just saying I wouldn't allow them because they're essentially all similar/the same, and seem like spam to me.
The threads feel like GID material to me, as there's seldom discussion, and the OP was asking what I'd do if I was a mod. I listed my pet peeve with the GCD.
It's entirely possible to do a collaboration with several users, it just takes a little effort and communication. Maybe I'm just too used to that sort of thing by now.
Also, it's entirely possible that item lists just became allowed because it'd be too much of a commotion to change it now.
Oh but I live being sassy. I rarely have the opportunity, so I make sure to get the most out of the situation. Don't take it too personally. Just have some fun with it. Sass me back~ :3
When I think of the job of a moderator, I picture an impartial position. Personally there are a few types of threads that pop up in the GCD that I won't participate, but there are users that value such threads and they for within the laws of the land. For instance, I don't participate in NPC Fanthreads. I find them a bit silly, but I know their purpose and understand why users value them. I could never decide to ban a certain type of rule-following thread just because I dislike them or don't understand them. Honestly it would just seem a bit selfish and go against my personal definition of a moderator.
If I was one I would simply be fair, impartial, and precise.
Sadly if I ever became a moderator, I would be afraid that all the fun from using this sight would be sucked into a black hole.
