Notice Vote - Do you prefer more Separate new threads or fewer condensed merged threads

What do you think?

 

I have no preference on this matter

 

I voted condensed, but I think it depends on the content. It's always odd to me when someone will bump a year or two year old thread that referenced, say, Donovan Clingan, to post something new about him. In that instance, start a new thread. But if there's a big topic, like Dame asking for a trade, inevitably there's 5 different threads on it, each saying roughly the same thing, and you wanna respond in one spot, but it's also relevant to another, and it gets annoying.
That said, for the most part our mods do a really good job here, so I'll default to their preferences.

 

Hey look, my answer!

 

Let’s see, do I want to suck up to the “a new thread for every thought that pops into my head” crew, or THE_HISPANIC CONDENSING POSTS INTO THE MELO SUPERTHREAD?

I’ll go with, who cares?

 

I think we should have as few threads about the number of threads as possible and let the mods worry about the rest.

*Edit*Jk
*Edit* But seriously

 

If I post a duplicate thread on a topic I appreciate mods merging the thread but I don’t think we need another covid thread or Ukraine thread etc. posting random questions like “are you going to the game tonight” aren’t thread topics. I thought about a generic RIP thread to condense those. Problem with a bunch of random thoughts posted as threads is that it kicks threads like the Ukraine war or starting roster threads off the current page and these are popular topics. Threads are for topics not generic comments in my view. People can private msg each other in many cases instead of cluttering the list of topics. In the larger scope of things in the end it’s not important anyway. I don’t have to watch those threads if I choose

 

I pick “Other”.

 

I just don’t think that a reputable posters thread should EVER be merged into a spammers thread.

 

wait....option 1 = more threads....and option 2 = more threads....am I reading that right?

 

I really only have one issue with threads. It's those who use any thread, to convey the same point...thread...after thread....after thread.

You don't like Billups as a coach? We get it. We allllllll get it. Please stop figuring out ways to blatantly or in a poorly veiled fashion, use every thread as your bully pulpit to say your point.

This is not censorship....it is recognizing courtesy. Could we maybe come up with a badge for those hot repeated points....so every poster who has the badge on their avatar or sig, is well known for their stance?

Maybe "CB"...with the red circle slash over it for the coach hate thing?

 

Doesn't matter.
After the first page - threads take a life of their own and are rarely about what the subject line says.

 

The more threads the better

 

So good

 

I really think we need more people to chime in here.
Where is that guy that complains about new threads and where is that guy that starts em all the time?

 

More specific threads...if you dont know where you are going you'll end up somewhere else. Any thread thats get less than 10 participants, gong the author of the thread....

 

How about good, better, best threads?
