Spam threads should be deleted

[Apple]

In my opinion, threads such as "What are you listening to?" and "What is the weather like where you live now?" are no better than spam. The conversation between members in these threads is non existent, it seems the only thing that the majority of people who post in these threads have in mind is post count.

I know that steps have already been made to ensure threads encouraging pointless posts are not allowed however these types of threads are no different and belong in spam. Do you really think that "What are you listening to now?" would have over 15 thousand replies if it was in spam?

I wasn't surprised to see the highest poster of the month has the most posts by far in one of these spam threads. Obviously a little annoyed as I refrained from posting in those types of threads and I came 2nd.

i think they can be nice when people talk about things in them too but i see what you mean, they should be moved to the spam forums imo

Actually when James posted that there was going to be a Poster of the month, it said that posting in those sort of threads often would be seen and posts would of been deducted.

And I post in there once a day.

Which is exactly why it should be gone. If people know its spam, and in a posting competition is acknowledged as spam, surely it should be spam? None of this 'oh but therse a couple exceptions' nonsense.

Yes, It is partly in spam, but this discussion has proped up before, and James has said it's staying as it is.

Habbox has always had them, not that I've ever really posted in them, but history should stay.

I agree, I've said it before but just got flamed. Any of those threads are pointless but management don't like to admit it.

I really don't see why some people have a problem with post count. If people want to get a high post count then why shouldn't they? It doesn't affect you in the slightest. Plus you can't complain about the person who won poster of the month replying in 'what are you listening to?' because you could have easily done the same only you chose not to. I really don't see the need for these threads to be in spam where they will probably just die off. I find them to be an interesting read. I myself have searched the 'what are you listening to?' thread many, many times just to see if people listened to the same music I did. They're good topics, lets not ruin them, okay?

This is my view on it really. They do no harm, people like them, what motivation is there to kill them off?

That's just silly, if I made a thread that was completely pointless, it would be removed whether I like it or not. This is my view on it really :rolleyes:
