Guys, drop it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the very near future to make quality posts. So just hang on.

If all of the mods are rulers, then technically its an oligarchy. _________________ <center> all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

Ah, but I rule all and they're just evil minions doing my bidding, remember.

Beri wrote: I have some issues with this section of the forum, and I just wanted to mention it. I find it strange that the mods on the forum try to enforce no one word posts and no useless posts, yet 85% of the misc. randomness section of the forum is composed of exactly that. I know it's meant as a fun section and whatever, but it's one of the busiest sections of the forum and there are people getting 100s and even 1000s of posts there. I don't pretend that I don't ever post there, I do on occasion. It just seems hipocritical to be saying don't make one word posts or useless posts, but go here and make an unlimited number of them and up your post count significantly. Maybe it's just my pet peeve, but it irks me to see people who rarely post outside of completely pointless threads with more posts than people who have been here for a long time. Another thing is that when people post there so much, you get accustomed to the "style" of posting, causing spam elsewhere. I thought if post count was deactivated in the misc. randomness section, it was would be purely about fun and not uping your posts. Well, tell me what you think about it, and give suggestions Yes, I know exactly what you mean I am glad this has been sorted out now. It is disquieting to see certain members go from a few hundred posts to over a thousand in a few days. And I have also noticed, as previously mentioned, that a certain style of typing is noticeable outside of the random section. I have noticed quite a lot recently that people post lots in normal topics, but say very little and you do wonder why they bothered to post at all.  But maybe it's just me. _________________

Thanks for the constructive criticism. We have noticed the general quality (or lack there of) of a lot of posts, and one way we are trying to deal with this other than not counting posts made in Misc. Randomness is by the Tolkien Revival 2006. By reading the books and watching the movies together, we hope to generate thought and discussion. But we can't do it ourselves. We need members to be not only willing to discuss, but to take the initiatve to ask thought-provoking questions and take the time to post thought-out and meaty responses.
