Incomprehensible gibberish.

So i've been noticing alot of forum RP threads lately and i've been wondering, does anybody else think they shouldn't be allowed in the mains? I hardly ever see the discussion value in forum games, and RP threads just seem like a horrid topic to discuss (althought they do offer "discussion" so I guess they're technically not breaking rules)

What are your views on them? Do you like them? Think they shouldn't be around? Don't care?

Nope. You're not actually discussing a topic, you're playing a game.

  • user homepage:

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

I let the report queue (and therefor the membership) give me feedback and direction on this matter.

If the OP of one of those topics is reported and in my work queue, then I take a look, page through the thread, and if it is harmful, disruptive, or otherwise not a good thing (yes, in my opinion, which is just like my opinion man) I will respond.

But if the topic isn't reported? Then clearly it's not hit a threshold of enough members who see it as a problem and so, I probably don't even begin to intervene.

Why are you looking for discussion value in forum game threads?

So basically what you are saying is that you don't like them therefore they should be banned.
Nope. They're just not discussing anything. You really suck at logical reasoning.

... You don't understand what logical reasoning is then, do you? (Pro tip: Precondition, premise, conclusion. Ginger, in no way shape or form, attempted logical reasoning. Just stated his/her opinions. Leave the pseudo intellectual arguing out of this thread)

I like the role play and forum game threads, especially in this time of darkness. I think anyone whose been here for some time remembers the Flood after hours and Flood bar threads. They're hilarious at 3 AM after I've come back from the IRL bars. I like the threads. Honestly, they're not harming anyone in any shape or form, are they? Naw. They may be silly, but we aren't here on a video game forum to conduct serious business. We're here to interact and engage one another. These threads do just that.

Are they the most stimulating of all threads? By no means. But then again, one could easily argue all the repeat threads here aren't exactly productive to the forums, are they? I like role play threads and all that. I don't partake in them myself any longer, but they are fun to watch unfold sometimes.
