Oh I don't agree with Hunter, I just wasn't feelin' the hypocrisy from disliking my post without a word and then calling out vati for the same reason. See I'm satisfied now 'cuz you put in the effort :DAre you serious? Are you really starting something here? You're seriously making me dislike you more.
Since you're being such a regal shit today, while I'm feeling like absolute shit, I asked Hunter to get the fucking chat logs from Steam, so here's your fucking information.
2:54 PM - Hutner: having a "shitpost board" is a common theme- all nonstickied threads could be automatically permadeleted every two weeks or so, or threads without recent replies within 3 2 days; something time-based. posts wouldn't count towards postcount
the thought behind it is that if it's quarantined there, only people who intentionally enter the subforum will see the garbage produced
this increases average post quality everywhere else on the forums
________________________________________________________________
is the "shitpost" (dunno what other word to use) subforum suggestion terrible? seems nice on paper, but would like to see your thoughts before making a suggestions thread on the topic- there's probably a glaring flaw i've missed
2:57 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Uh... I'd say so
2:57 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Doesn't make
2:57 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Any sense to me
2:58 PM - Hutner: it'd make the Off-Topic board friendlier/welcoming while giving people a place to talk about whatever it is separate from everyone else
3:00 PM - Hutner: 2:52 PM - Noah: Hmm
2:52 PM - Hutner: ;o
2:53 PM - Noah: that seems like a good idea
2:54 PM - Noah: I personally don't see a problem
2:55 PM - Noah: but you can't really trust my judgement, I'm not exactly the smartest/best person to figure out how good/bad in idea is
2:55 PM - Noah: I'm too soft or something xD
2:55 PM - Hutner: any possible counterarguments?
2:56 PM - Noah: Let me think
2:57 PM - Hutner: 'k
2:57 PM - Noah: I
2:59 PM - Noah: I can't think of anything that wouldn't make sense about it
3:00 PM - Hutner: wanted a second opinion
3:00 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: The way I see it
3:00 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: 1.) They'll make those kind of posts where they want to make it, so having a subsection specifically for that wouldn't make sense.
3:01 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: 2.) These threads from the subforum will still appear on New Posts and Recent Activity, still causing a ruccus to the overall community
3:01 PM - Hutner: oh that's what i was thinking- if they didn't appear on New Posts/Threads
3:01 PM - Hutner: that's be nice
3:01 PM - Hutner: *that would be nice
3:01 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: 3.) Having a section specifically for said posting is like having that 24 Hour Thread, I suppose. I was for that, but at the time, it was because I was always bored and wanted to share stuff for anyone who would see it.
3:02 PM - Hutner: Yeah, I can see how it's basically the 24hr thread expanded
3:02 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I'm still against it, I don't see the point, to be quite honest... :l
3:03 PM - Hutner: Eh, fair enough-
3:03 PM - Hutner: The 24hr thread was nice though
3:04 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I don't think so anymore
3:04 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Even though I really wanted it at the time
3:04 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: All it is, is spam, and I see that
3:04 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: No need for spam, I say
3:04 PM - Hutner: That's very true
3:05 PM - Hutner: But at the time, it was enjoyable
3:05 PM - Hutner: if we could get that again, that kind of interaction between members
3:05 PM - Hutner: the friendly kind
3:05 PM - Hutner: without spamming everything
3:06 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Only because I didn't think of people who come in just to type "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" or saying rude things
3:06 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: That will definitely happen on the subforum
3:06 PM - Hutner: Probably
3:08 PM - Hutner: But the thing is their useless posts would be deleted anyway, and they can be ignored
3:08 PM - Hutner: that reminds me
3:08 PM - Hutner: The new version of xenforo
3:08 PM - Hutner: Lets people restrict certain users
3:08 PM - Hutner: From posting on threads
3:09 PM - Hutner: I wonder if that feature will be used well
3:10 PM - Hutner: Thanks for your input
3:10 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Oh, that's the problem, with the posts being deleted
3:10 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: People will use that to their advantage
3:10 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: And use it to say whatever they want
3:10 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Basically behind people's backs
3:11 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I know that will happen, so I don't like the idea
3:11 PM - Hutner: Eh
3:11 PM - Hutner: They'd still get reported
3:11 PM - Hutner: For attacking users
3:13 PM - Hutner: Besides, if people are going to do that, why do it in public
3:13 PM - Hutner: Either way
3:13 PM - Hutner: It's terrible
3:16 PM - Hutner: If I were the one to suggest it, it'd probably be turned away due to bias against me
3:16 PM - Hutner: :/
3:18 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I'm just generally against the idea, sorry. I don't like the idea of giving people who do these things their own little room to play in. I don't see how it would control it, I feel like it'd just spark agruements, flame wars, trollish behavior... All of the things I hate about the internet, all in one place. Even if I don't look at it, just the thought of it would make my mind race, I suppose. I say we should just tollerate the "shitposts," rather than point them toward an area to do it instead.
3:18 PM - Hutner: Huh
3:18 PM - Hutner: That's a good point
3:19 PM - Hutner: But it'd improve the quality elsewhere on the forums
3:19 PM - Hutner: Wouldn't it?
3:19 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I don't see why it would
3:20 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: If people are going to make these kind of posts on a thread, they're going to make it on said thread.
3:20 PM - Hutner: Yes, but the thread has a subforum
3:20 PM - Hutner: it's like how the tattoos thread was moved to offtopic i guess
3:20 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Well, let me put an example
3:21 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Let's say you posted the Picky Eaters thread on Off-Topic, actually wanting a decent discussion
3:21 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: And then someone makes a shitpost
3:21 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: If the subforum was available
3:21 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: They'd probably still make a shitpost
3:21 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Specifically for this thread
3:21 PM - Hutner: that actually happened though probably
3:21 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: As they're against it or whatever
3:22 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I haven't read past the beginning page, but mainly because I'm not that picky of an eater.
3:22 PM - Hutner: heh
3:22 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: But I've been noticing a trend that
3:22 PM - Hutner: the thing at the bottom of page three >_<
3:22 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Any form of Off-Topic thread, either begging for a conversation, or begging for a debate
3:22 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: They generally get "shitposts"
3:22 PM - Hutner: Yes
3:23 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Even if said threads are perfectly fine
3:23 PM - Hutner: unrelated: how would you suggest coping with anxiety
3:23 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Well
3:23 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I have social anxiety, so
3:23 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Can't help much there
3:24 PM - Hutner: ah
3:24 PM - Hutner: :c
3:24 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I'm going to be working at a job, as a Lot Attendant at a grocery store
3:24 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Which will be around lots of people
3:24 PM - Hutner: oh dear
3:24 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: But not as much interaction as, say
3:24 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: A cashier
3:24 PM - Hutner: ah
3:24 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I'm actually okay with getting this job, moreso because
3:24 PM - Hutner: not customer service, then ;p
3:24 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: My mom's friend is the manager, and I don't have to interact with people 24/7
3:25 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: And indeed
3:27 PM - Hutner: say someone has an assignment for a class, but the class itself is stressing them and they'd rather drop it, which is distracting them from the assignment itself, but the class is required for the degree they want
3:28 PM - Hutner: also say the person has changed majors recently
3:29 PM - Hutner: any suggestions for that kind of anxiety
3:30 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Uh
3:30 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Definitely not. o 3o
3:31 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Never been in that situation, and I'd probably try trudging through it even though I hate it
3:31 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Because I'd be too nervous to drop out
3:31 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Even more so if it's required
3:31 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: For what you need
3:31 PM - Hutner: yeah
3:33 PM - Hutner: thanks
3:33 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: Aye. ;o
3:34 PM - Hutner: by the way, i introduced Naoh to Agrarian Skies yesterday
3:34 PM - Hutner: he likes it
3:35 PM - Hutner: he somehow didn't get stuck at the hopper quest and i'm a bit jealous
3:35 PM - Hutner: :c
3:38 PM - ~Duffie Izumi♪♫: I didn't, either, but I'm good at figuring things out myself. xD
Also you directly targeted me with the confusing rating because you knew I hated it when you actually DID understand the content, which is why I continued to instigate this
