[Poll] 'Trash'

[Mirio]

Seriously whats the point of the Trash section? (define 'Trash')
You could move 75%+ of General Discussion there.
Why you don't just delete stupid shit like "should i kill myself blabla" (Finally someone deleted it after some requests)?
Who wants to read it anyway?
You have to press only 1 button (O-n-e) !
It will end with Spam.
Let's see if this topic survives 24h
I wrote Poll in the name because usually people open (not always read) topics because of the polls, ahahaha rickrolled))

poll without a poll?

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

I 'm with Mirio , I really don't understand the point of the trash area.

I enjoy silly poles and crazy rants. Just delete any spam or anything overly crude.
Let us silly folk be silly!

I think I was the first one who reacted to this, like just minutes, if not seconds after it got created. I'm in agreement with Mirio that it's totally unnecessary, I just expressed this on IRC and not on the forums.
I didn't really believe I would make an impact anyway. Even though I think this is a bad idea (in my opinion) but the admins can do whatever they wanna do.

Trash is the best forum. It's annoying that one can't make new topics in it though "only moderators can make tapes here"

The forum makes moderation of the forums more transparent to the users. It helps people learn what is considered inappropriate behavior. The unfortunate side-effect of this is it may cause some members to try and make this a competition... but hehe... with advanced moderation tools in phpbb3, it'd be cool if the mods can write a tool to auto ban someone who's had X number of threads put in the trash for within a specific time period.


Taking a ride on the autoban...

Why was the "Life is futile and full of crabs" thread deemed inappropriate and trashed.
I guess I just don't get what the General Discussion forum is for.

I do think that threads moved to trash should have a moderator note. After all, gentleman call banks and combos in billiards, do they not?

Why should people who post "unpopular" or "stupid" things be banned?

That's such an obvious answer to that, don't play dumb.
