I think if you made an entire "crazy" Blazer sub-forum it will encourage the pollution of the new posts page. At least with the RTT that is restricted to just one thread. That is the perfect solution really, but Blazer fans insist on staying inside their forum so whatever. The other solution is this sort of discussion I suppose. A questionable trend of threads is called out by another poster, and a little self-moderation is put into effect. The members that really spam, are the ones who ultimately take the biggest hit to their rep around here anyway.
The RTT thread is a nifty attraction/feature of S2. It's a giant long and old thread that's constantly bumped. The thing I'd like to see us avoid is guests opening it to find "I got drunk and shit myself" discussion for 30 straight posts. We can exclude one or more forums from the New Posts page, but the fewer the better and ideally just one. It seems like if we want to ask a new poster to go somewhere "acceptable" to make these kinds of posts/threads, that it's easier to point at the one forum.
Ummm... what are you talking about? they are posting in the regular off topic section of ripcitytwo.com. Duh! There is no such thing as negative rep, so someone with 1 rep power essentially has little to lose.
the thing is, i go to this site via www.ripcitytwo.com so i don't really see the other forums. I'll check them out but i like the smaller number of people here.
Yeah it is okay, I didn't mean to rip into your community or anything I just wish Blazer fans could visit the rest of the site more because their input would be interesting.
i'll try, but I post like on 5 or 6 sites already, most of them niche (in addition to my own board I run)
It's not hard to stop on by and post with the cool crowd. Just type in Ripcitytwo.com, and you'll find them.
Is bookmarking the set aside forum too much to ask? If we do this, then you and those who agree they're the "best threads ever" can enjoy them together.
i post from multiple computers....maybe 3 or 4 of them i have tried making a bookmarks page online on my personal message board, it works with varying results.
I don't use extensions on firefox. also, i post on other people's computers....hence the problem when you're not exactly tied down to one location, I'd hate for them to find out my online identity!
There is an easy solution that works across computers. While viewing the forum listing for Blazers (and then Blazers OT), select "subscribe to forum" from the "Forum Tools" menu above all the threads. Then go to User CP and you'll see them there. You can subscribe to this new proposed forum the same way. The site's plenty fast and it'd take you 3 seconds to get to that forum.
I'll set those up....but then again, like I mentioned, I post regularly on like 5 or 6 forums already. i'll check them out sometime.
Great idea! Let's piss off the veteran S2 posters, and go out of our way to meet the needs of all the new Blazers posters!
hah its like going in circles. already we got mods etc suggesting we should start using the other forums more for X topics...... remind you of anywhere? oh yeah, BBF! here's the nutshell of this blazer community that recently moved here.... id say 85% of us dont really care what happens outside of the blazer board and/or what other things we can/cant do on X site. we're here to talk with blazer fans and get blazer fan opinion on a range of topics - its mega introverted and sectional but that just seems to be how we are
i guess we could/should leave the OT forum off the recent topics list if some of the topics and content isn't in the right vibe
lol, S2 from what I've heard S2 isn't as bad as BBF yet. I don't see what is wrong with RipCityTwo people chilling with people from their own community, and nothing would stop S2ers from joining any threads that they are interested in.
