You need to have a balance, i.e. giving your opinions where relevant but not going on and on if not necessary. To be honest, I don't think people put that much thought in before they post (as in... 'should this be long or short?') - they just type what they have to say and that's the end of it. But I think since abolishing post count in Chat&Games, the posting for the sake of it has gone down - I used to post smileys and stuff and they counted.

I agree, a good balance is essential sitting in a chair making a reply whilst lop sided could be very dangerous.
You see the point I am making here is although I agree(and feel the need to say so to show overall what we all think about any subject),
One or a mere word may have been deemed pointless but a just to say I agree without the right to use one word has turned into a bloody long winded and quite frankly boring answer like this one, which if I'm not careful will have everyone falling asleep.

Then what will I do for the rest of my day?

Yep, good point Ash

Yours was about "pointless threads" in general, and was in a thread of itself which you deemed yourself to be pointless.

This is about posts imparticular, and is in the correct section where things should be done about it.

Also, Matt08 posted this in April so yours would've been a replicate anyway if it had the same point (which it didn't).

I closed your thread because it was deteriorating into arguments and personal insults against yourself which I thought were unfair, though, rather than it being about the thread itself

And this thread was posted 2 months ago, Nicky

[Scarlett.]

But the thread did have a point, and the point was pointless posts like "ZOMG I saw Freds willy <.<"

and people started dissing her writing style, her personal writing style, which she is identifed by

Which means the thread went off topic

But this is why I closed it. There were unfair insults against Nicky and it was offtopic anyway. Plus this thread here now is from April.

It was kind of out of order for everyone to just have a complete go at me ..

(and Thanks Lauren for closing it) x

All having a go about x's was stoopid - It wasnt a post to have a go at me about me!

I think the subtle difference is your title. yesterday your title was "Utterly pointless threads" this has been called "Constuctive posts"

Ones a negative (looks like your more annoyed than you might be) One is positive (does not make you look as annoyed as you might be)
I dont think you got bitten but perhaps it may have been again the tone people percieved by the negative title.
This has not been nodded with aproval, but because the tone is subtley more positive its opponents are not so defensive and are instead using sarcasm instead of bold objection.

Either way my response has been the same on both threads.
I also thought it was worth mentioning which you did very well yesterday.

Thanks AngnAndy =) x

I wasn't that annoyed at people expressing there opinion..

But for them too target it at me was what annoyed me most x

I did stand up for myself, as it was like 5 members vs Me at like 2am lol x
