@jpearman is there anything we can do about the mass amount of chit chat threads? This is getting ridiculous. Everyone on the forums to talk instead of solving problems, and it’s going to get worse, because as new users join they’ll think this is ok, and more spam will come out.

I put it under V5 general because it wasn’t a joke thread and just talking it’s about a real problem. Don’t confuse me with someone who wants the elimination of chit chat threads, but the problem is the sheer amount of them. I don’t know why me making a thread addressing it is somehow “adding to the…

[image] UvuvwevweOnyetenye: it wasn’t a joke thread Doesn’t mean it should be categorized under V5 General Discussion… V5 General Discussion is for topics about VEX V5, in general, not about the forum. Chit-chat threads don’t all have to be joke threads either.

[image] UvuvwevweOnyetenye: I put it under V5 general because it wasn’t a joke thread You might’ve misinterpreted what chit-chat threads are used for then. It’s to talk about vex-related things that don’t fully fit in one of the categories already made. While they often are less serious, plen…

[image] Foster: Pot calling the kettle for lots of you? Can’t tell if you’re referring to me by this statement. If you are, then I have no clue what you’re talking about, considering I’ve posted about the amount of threads and how i wish it was easier to find people who need help on the forum…

[image] 9MotorGang: People who I would consider productive members of the community have much higher ratios, over 5 likes per post. I get 3.3 :neutral_face:. I guess i’m not productive

On a Serious note, I feel like there is a lot of unnecessary hostility in this thread that I think could be avoided.

So many chit chat threads…
