How about you guys actually give threads that might do good for the server some well deserved attention instead of getting threads which are poorly thought out to 60+ messages? It is riduculous how dumb threads get more attention than threads that deserve them?
It's quite simple really.
Well thought out (and mostly large) threads rarely get messages since people just like your post and vote on the poll without even reading all if it.
It saves them the effort of reading through the actual thread, meaning that they probably won't reply since they didn't even read all of it. I have to admit, some threads I just look at the comments and a few headers to determine what it's about, then vote on the poll, and then possibly like their thread. If someone else already said exactly what I wanted to say, I might give that post a like and move on.
On threads like "What's your favorite game", people basically get a ticket to a free message on their message count without even putting effort into their message. I myself, avoid these types of threads since my message would literally bring nothing to the table, but others still reply because free message. Even if there were a poll with all the listed games, people would still reply to the thread just to get that one extra message in even though it's as pointless as the next.
I honestly think that a great solution for this would be to not count media, artwork and other similar sections to your message count when replying there. I honestly want to see how big of an impact that makes on most message counts.
This is pretty much my take on what's going on when it comes to activity on the "wrong" threads. Correct me if you wish, this is just my theory.
Please do not call players of the community names (Plebs)
Pleb isn't an insult, nor should we be offended if the title refers to us as plebs. Heck, this title makes it more "click-bait" so people look at this thread. Pretty smart move considering the threads topic is activity on suggestions.
