Subject: What should be done about constant reposts?

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

March 3, 2553

Nothing. Because there is nothing wrong with it.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Well yesterday Foman closed repost-threads about that skydiving bloke. So something is done about it.

Unless you mean reposts about forum title questions, and the like.

Welcome to the town of "Diligence." I'm Mayor Due.

or are they a sign that the community just has its mind on the same issues and wants to keep bringing them up for discussion?


I'd say this combined with people perhaps missing some of the original posts. Not a huge problem if you ask me.

Sometimes it's easier for people to just fire out a thread instead of looking around for info as well.

And even if the thread is a repeat, you may still get some new insights from other members.

Key

The thread you've just made is a repost. Quality discussion can be had from your thread, however limited. The oldness of your topic does not decrease its discussion value. Repeat threads are not inherently bad. QED.

Also, you can't get rid of reposts and repeat threads.

Well reposts don't really bother me.

  • 10.10.2012 3:39 AM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

I don't exactally know what you are talking about. But then again, I spend most of my time only here on the community. But I have seen a few repost of the same idea. But it is easly overlooked. There isn't really that much to talk about these days, so just roll with it. SoonTM the wait will all be over, and new ideas and conversations will come around.

  • 10.10.2012 4:49 AM PDT

Nothing should be done about it, it isn't even a problem. If a thread is long dead, there is no issue with creating a new one with the same topic.

  • 10.10.2012 5:21 AM PDT

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

everyday is repost day

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

ironically this thread falls into one of those "constant reposts".

There will always be topics repeated as time goes on, but they will change views and perspectives over time.

Unless a thread has been reposted under a week or so, I don't have an issue with it. Besides, new conversations and ideas can be created through a reposted topic.

I don't think reposts are a problem. People post something because they want to talk about it, and if other people want to talk about the topic then they will reply and the thread will stay active. If threads are reposted then that means that more people want to talk about the subject. Not a huge problem.

I try to avoid making redundant threads. If its at least somewhat interesting i tend to overlook its lack of originality.
Indeed.

Nothing. Many users might be new and not have discussed a topic before, so it isn't a repost to them. Even if you have seen the topic before, what's wrong with discussing a topic more than once? It's like watching a movie twice. You might get something new out of it that wasn't noticed before. People might carry the conversation in a new direction; new points could be made. Why do you think it's such an issue?

Pretty much everything is a repost.
^This. It's pretty rare to see a truly original topic.

Ignore the threads you don't want to post in, post in the ones you do. That's how a forum works, and if everybody follows that mantra, the best threads will rise to the top and the worst ones will fall to the latter pages.
