whether that is true or not is irrelevant to me, because I am of the mind that 'post quality' is entirely subjective, and there is no one qualified to 'judge' others' posts without prejudice. 

Yeah. Let's perpetrate the same tired old song and dance that we don't know a worthless post from something worth reading. That'll do a lot of good. We'll just keep on pretending that it's all subjective. Like when you look down on your front lawn, see a fresh pile of dog turd, and proclaim it might be actually be a chocolate danish in someone's eyes. Somebody out there is gonna think that piece of fresh dog shit is a chocolate danish and will surely want to snatch that right up, so we'll leave it right there on the front lawn and we won't clean it up. Eventually, we'll have 500 "chocolate danishes to somebody" out there, the area will reek of shit, but we'll just ignore that in favor of what some dumb fuck out there might interpret the pile of dog shit as. Makes a whole lot of sense, doesn't it?

So, because I am suggesting that we be allowed to have a place to post 'contentless garbage', that the forum will inevitably be ruined?  I am sorry, I just don't see it....this 'taking the argument to extremes' thing is kinda getting old. 

Sometimes you just have to compromise.  And by my suggestion, giving a little to the 'shitposters' and letting them post in two forums, means that the 'garbage posts' will stay in those places, and out of the legitimate threads with 'quality content'. 

I would understand if someone is warned, has their thread moved, or even eventually banned, if they post gibberish in the drug or cooking forum....but to warn and ban someone, and lock their thread, because they posted in SG rather than HB, is just lunacy.

A place for everything, and everything in its place.

HB posts aren't "contentless garbage"; they're beautiful expressions of human creativity!

Well thats the problem right there.  We need it to be a place where "contentless garbage" is welcome.

But the kidiots can't keep it in HB, that's the actual problem, and that's always been the actual problem. For example, before I became the bad guy (and what initially caused me to go on my rampages against kidiots and administration, incidentally), I used to be a major contributor in Science of the Damned. And then these HB kidiots started coming in and repeatedly ruining the spirit of the conversation there. Eventually, no one wanted to open up about anything on topic because they didn't want their well-thought-out contributions trampled on by mindless imbeciles who weren't there at all for paranormal conversation. They fucked over the entire forum eventually, and it was a great forum, and it didn't take long for them to empty it out either. And now you're saying it's alright? You know, that kind of mindset really, really pisses me off.

Nobody is saying that's alright.  The mods obviously failed to do their jobs.  What we are saying is that there needs to be a place for that shit.  But, apparently Equanimity doesn't want her precious HB soiled by it, even though that is where that shit was meant to be in the first place.

How am I saying its alright?  Are you even reading what I post?  I will summarize, just for clarity.

Two forums, HB and SG.  Spam there.  Nowhere else.  Anyone posts spam threads in another forum?  warn and move.  It continues?  infract and ban.  /story.

Now, how does that equate to me 'saying its alright' when 'kidiots' fill a forum with 'shitposts'?

I read your posts carefully. You were trying to justify and excuse kidiots posting their crap, saying it's simply "a matter of perspective". It's not.

It is, but that has nothing to do with the 'solution' I proposed.

Here is a short example of the 'perspective' thing:

In a thread at zoklet, I was infracted for OT posting.  The post was, in fact, wildly off topic, if one rigidly defines such as 'not pertaining to the OP'. 

End of story, right?

No.

The post I was infracted for was replying to another post in the thread, and while my post was relevant to the post I was answering, it was technically 'OT'.   

In your 'shitposting-free utopia', anyone going off on any tangent, or answering someone elses post in a thread, would potentially be considered 'OT' and 'spam' and 'shitposting', and depending on the moderator, the user would be 'disciplined' for the post in question.

I'm not talking about off topic posting at all, I'm talking about kidiot shitdrops.. ICQ-chat-Lite garbage, posting histories chalk full of utterly useless crap all across the discussion forums. This has nothing to do with off topic posting. Of course, attention starved staff had to harass off topic posting containing legitimate discussion in order to satiate their own fragile egos, but that was a whole other issue.

Bling is an example of a poster that posts beautiful things in HB.  I love Bling in HB; great poster :)

Does this make more sense now?

In this sense?

2) (of a line of reasoning) apparently but not actually valid.

generality

1)a statement or principle having general rather than specific validity or force.

Exactly. This isn't reddit. You don't get to branch threads off of someone else's comment, that's how intent and purpose is lost.

I wasn't asking you, but yeah, exactly....so what is the difference between a forum called 'spurious generalities' and one called 'half baked'?  One is for posting bullshit and the other for posting nonsense, or what?  What is the reasoning behind the nomenclature, and what is the criteria for determining which forum a post belongs to?
