Welcome to Gaia! ::


-Sigh- This is sad... When they move topics about thread-shuffling,
it's only proving the thread's point. It's frustrating to a T. I understand,
the moderator's are preventing an uprising, but.. To what purpose? All
that is being accomplished is frustrating the users and discouraging
them from expressing themselves. Eventually this will all backfire, rather
then just letting it be vented in short bursts from time to time. Honestly, I
wonder what they think as they condemn the threads. I know this has to
bother them as much as it bothers us, but that doesn't mean that once
it's out of sight, it won't ever return...


Or perhaps I'm just getting over philosophical. I should just shut my mouth, shouldn't I?

Then are we not doing the same here? By talking, there must be
a subject. That is the key of sentence structure. The subject of the
sentence always must do an action, and by that subject's action,
they are, in fact, talking about something. So if one were to talk
about nothing, it would be something that looks like this.

"Puppy dogs, lamp post, tiny eggs, chocolate milk."
However, every post had a small something, a bit of information
to contribute, and that, my good sir, is the purpose of discussion.

Hmm- do you consider the people who report threads partly responsible for this? I report fairly often, but do my best to use good judgment...
I've also noticed some perfectly acceptable Gaia-related GCD topics being thrown into the Chatterbox for no apparent reason. Perhaps which ever mod is doing this could post in here and clear things up, because right now it looks like someone got a little power hungry. neutral

All I can assume is that this is a new mod, mod abusing power, or a mod having a really bad day.

Well, this one hasn't been shuffled, it's still n the GCD... Part of the problem is what criteria the threads are being judged on, and sometimes a thread doesn't have a clear place as they may overlap topics - EG "What would you wear for your statue if your Battle name gets s picked?" thougnt that wasn't the title...
And we should make a thread in the Feedback forum about this... razz
I thought I was the only one. xD

But seriously, one of my threads got removed and ended up in the Chatterbox because I was apparently telling a story. Said "story" was less than a paragraph long, and had everything to do with Gaia and the Gaia Community. Hermes, evolving items, even a prodding "DISCUSS: etc etc" at the end of it, so even if an assistant or mod just skimmed over it they certainly couldn't have missed that.

I'm guessing new mod. -shrug- Someone who thinks they know what they're doing but really doesn't yet.
That would certainly explain the overlook. But I think
the only reason this one's still here is because I didn't
put anything INTERESTING in the first post, and a basic
overview of how they had absolutely no reason to move it.
[/mock] Or no one's reported me yet. Either way, I'm not
arguing my luck.

But I digress. The strangest part of all this is that It's not
just the GCD. Art, Writing and Prose, Videogames, Movies,
and Minishops are all going thought the same thing in the
past few weeks. It's a bit unsettling, knowing that your brain-
baby could just be bounced from orphanage to orphanage.

Unless... This is some sort of mod-created plot! =O

so the mods are finally moving the threads with no content + spoons?

good for them. :3
I've never seen a thread get moved from the GCD that didn't deserve it.

I've seen a lot that deserve it that haven't.

I think the definitions for what's ok for this forum are too broad- it's hard enough to find a decent conversation when stuff that is more or less spam gets by because people slap a band-aid on in the form of a "spooned discussion."
It happened to me. I started a thread about a movie and it got shuffled into the chatterbox.
