      Does senseless need, like, to be less senseless?

      Okay, this view is shared by more people than just me.

      Senseless Banter is starting, if not has, reached a level of just being "spam with crap". Even banter topics need a topic. Starting a topic with, well, no or little content to discuss (is just spam really)

      Discuss. Yeah.

      P.S: Why not rename the forum to "banter"? hey i like that idea. because i made it.

      Edit in italics.

      Well i think that there should be like a bar where you define how senseless the banteriffic post is. Like this would be a two, and that docthory would be a 9. Maybe even a 10.

      if ppl want to spam some shit, why not just let them? Senseless is the place to be and if you wanna be serious go to the lounge or somewhere else. thats my opinion.

      Because pages upon pages of crap waste bandwidth and drive space, yet give nothing in the way of usefullness.

      Aw, that's cuz it's senseless.

      Here's what I think: people should be as senseless as they want to, so long as they don't overpost.. you know, like as long as they don't create 10 new threads in senseless a day or something. But I seriously don't think that anyone should be told to have their posts in this section be more meaningful. That's crap.

      I accidently voted yes. Your poll question confused me.

      Anyway I dont need to explain my reason because apparently my voice of reason doesnt reach anyone. but here's PART of it anyway

      "the senseless banter isn't supposed to be filled with SO many senseless threads" ...ugh im on a roll so ill post more of the reason

      Most of the threads here promote discussion that is somewhat intelligent and coherent. The new ones that are sprouting up are not. Example.

      Good: "Why do people where shoes inside their houses"
      Bad: "<insert space> "

      That is my opinion

      Curiosity killed the cat but at least it didnt die an ignorant bastard

      I can't vote...I need a third senseless option...like:

      Does senseless need, like, to be less senseless?

      -yes
      -no
      -Kaniaz wears pink undies[/b]
      THEN I could vote honestly.

      The topics that would need to die would be the likes of recent ones, such as:

      Subject: .
      Message:
      hahaha you can't get in here

      Subject: um yeah bread um um duuuuuh
      Message: i like the bread this is good yay woo

      Subject: .................................................. ........docthory
      Message: discuss.

      Subject: .:Kaniaz:.
      Message: Well this sucks dosen't it.

      ---

      Moderators, WerBurN. Whoever is a moderator in senseless is suspciously endowed with, you guessed it, the position of moderating senseless .

      As you can see from the examples above, the only way to cross the line would be to do it on purpose. It can hardly be an "accident", so all would be good.

      Yeah...its true. But in my defense I spend more time in every other thread. Meaning I have even less of a life. But in 2 weeks when I move back to cali, there will be a lott less of me posting meaning....no time for senseless.

      And now for some senseless muffins.

      I was really hoping people could actually maturely discuss this, and I placed it in Senseless Banter for the sole reason of it being related strongly to it, and therefore the people that would read it would be the people concerned about senseless banter, as it was there.

      Posting "cheese!" was not my idea of an intelligent discussion. I suppose I would of done better in the Lounge or feedback; because maturity seems to be escaping some people recently. Is it just the weather?
