"Post here if..." threads


Recommended Posts

One user is creating a lot of threads staring "Post here if..." and then inserting whatever diatribe he feels afterwards.

Seeing as Neowin currently has a slight problem with politically clashing members and it falling down into trolling, these threads only serve as falimbait. The title itself is nothing more than a rallying cry.

Opinions?

I noticed them too. They are strange and could be placed in line with the rule against the "post your..." threads.

Also, be careful in reporting these types of threads etc. I got burnt at the steak yesterday by other members, for trying to be a mini mod, because i voiced my opinion, although no mods or admins told me anything...

Not being a mini-mod mate, just trying to bring this issue to mods attention. The political discourse here becomes nasty very quickly.

"Post here if..." is a small step away from "Join me if...", and Neowin doesn't need factions.

Yeah, i know you are mate. Just thought i would warn you that some people might pass comment on you starting this thread, because they have nothing better to do.

On topic, i agree.

Those types of threads are definitely here, but the "Do we really need this?" or "I figure you would be the one to post garbage like this" comments that basically question why the existence of a thread is around are far more widespread and rampant.

Why can't we ever just have a discussion? I'm not saying we need to go back to the old days of "post your toilet", but why can't I or someone else ask "hey...post your favorite food and tell me why I should eat it".

I don't really think the "post here if" threads contribute anything. It leaves it open for someone just saying "me" or "I am" and no real discussion.

Anyway, just my two cents. There's a difference and I think we ought to loosen up a bit sometimes.

I agree with you njlouch, and Rich, I saw that thread and it really was pathetic.

x_x

Which thread? Apparently i have posted as a mini mod multipul times. I never knew that speaking your mind was acting as a mini mod...
