Forum Dying.

[philipkntz]

Everytime EI closes a popular thread, this forum dies a little death imo.
Tom closed a thread @ 9.30 am this morning because it was becoming unmanageable, I count 16 posts on the entire forum since then.
Isn't it time that EI stopped swatting flies with a sledgehammer?

Far too many breaches of the rules and it was becoming the norm just to breach the rules and have us sweep it up later.

Also, my budget doesn´t cover hammers.

[philipkntz]

Could it be that maybe the rules need relaxing?

[TomEA]

I concur, it seems to be the only acceptable threads are forced positivity, who has the best photos, who is coming to town, posters touting for their favourite lady, just inane banality of it all. Then the mods come along and tell the adults how to behave.

Can you imagine having to tell adults to behave. What a world.

If we are talking specifically about that thread, then i´m afraid not. If over-all, i´m open to reasonable discussion.

So the discussion moves elsewhere.

You´ve confused me a bit here, albeit not too hard to do.
I´m happy to have the discussion wherever you´d like. "That thread" is in reference to the removed thread from the massage section.

Reasonable discussion on this forum? Isn't that when everybody agrees with ei?

Maybe you should run a poll on what rules the members of the forum would like ? Without us there is no forum we are the forum. I can think of lots of things you guys badly need to change if your open minded enough to actually listen instead if dictating.
Just to start with the thumbs up and down shit on the reviews is being abused.
Secondly the reputation option is being abused totally. I got a bad rep today because someone told me " you are running a bit low on red bars there" if the forum is going to be run by humans there should be some human digression on what is or is not helpful. If we dont get that you are not doing your job and Mr EI would be better off replace you with bots and save himself a fortune on wages. You will probably delete this as it does not fit with your MO. Sorry for any typos I'm doing it from my shit cheap phone.
