Do you enjoy silly/stupid theads?

[Josh5890]

I appreciate silly and serious threads. Like I laughed when First Half Life. Three Screenshots was created.

Sometimes people are out for blood on the OP. Laugh a little people. Jokes can be fun

 

[V23]

I tried posting a 'silly' thread about Hentai stickers I saw on someone's car. It was locked because it wouldn't generate productive discussion...

 

[nsilvias]

no, i prefer threads that remind me of how horrible the world is because im a masochist.

 

[Siggy-P]

I love them and they encourage social interaction and building forum comradery.

But they get locked all the time.

 

[Phil32]

I like silly threads. It's a welcomed retreat from the sometimes overabundant amount of negativity found on this site. It's good and healthy to sometimes go insane in an equally insane world.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

All good things in moderation

 

[Pascal]

I guess I enjoy them in theory. I just don't find many of them on this site very funny.

 

[The Climaxan]

When it comes to silly threads.

I consider the buffoonery...sanctioned.

 

[Pasha]

But those are the best threads.

 

[kittens]

Yeah of course I like fun threads but life isn't all fun

 

[Walter White Walker]

Yeah I like them. Heck yeah.

 

[KingTrainJumper]

Some silly threads are fine, but some of them just produce a bunch of low-effort spam posts.

 

[RetroMG]

To the poll: Some silly threads are beneath us, but some elevate us from the mire of cynicism and fatalism that this site sometimes gets bogged down in.

It's not really black or white.

 

[finalflame]

No

 

[Daysean]

Yeah, motherfuckers be too serious

 

[julia crawford]

I'm all for silly threads, but people must remember that ResetEra tries to be an inclusive and safe for work environment. Many times a thread is pushed past both of those. Also, like EBF pointed out above, never is a thread locked by a single mod. It's a group decision.

It would help for those reasons to be mentioned when a thread is closed then. Because no thread of mine has had a closing message with any mention of any of those, and I would definitely want to know if that was the case.

 

[Menchin]

If I wanted to be all serious doomy gloomy, I'd watch the news or look outside my window

 

[amoy]

Fuck that thread filled with a wall of text that read like a mexican soap opera and ended with some terminator bullshit >:[

I'm still salty about reading it all.

Spoiler

Don't mind old cranky me, have fun Era citizens

 

[Akira86]

some are ok. most don't deserve to make it to page 3, which means there's a dearth of quality silliness.

stupid "quirky" questions do not make for a good thread, and some habitual thread creators need to learn this.

yeah if i didn't already put that dude on ignore, i'd like a link back to that thread so i can correct the error

 

[Deleted member 42055]

Yes but jfc at some of the gross bodily function threads, especially anything in a bathroom, keep that to yourselves ffs

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

BIGGEST annoyance are mods insta-locking threads that aren't "productive".

Yet Trump/Star Wars/Marvel thread #8933739 gets a pass.

Unless it's making a certain group legitimately uncomfortable, let them be. We could use the levity.

 

[Cation]

There is a difference between silly and stupid.

For some reason silly threads here get locked quick for various bs reasons, but stupid threads get kept open.

I want silly, I don't want some stupid shit

I agree. Silly/funny (funny of course being subjective), I somewhat enjoy. It seems though that the majority are inane "serious" threads about the most mundane of topics. I don't know if those are drunk, high, or highschooler threads, but there seem to be quite a few of them and not just on the weekends. I've started to ignore them.

This. It sucks to see plenty of silly threads get locked, while the latest fernando garbage thread about shampoo pubes or whatever gets to stay open.

 

[iAmPossum]

Everything in balance is good. I enjoy it from time to time.

 

[Ryu]

What a silly thread OP! (I like it)

I have not, nor will I ever partake of silliness of any size or form.

Click to shrink...

JAJAJA!

 

[mxbison]

I think its getting a little out of hand. Stuff like the shampoo your pubes thread should be a ban imo.

 

[gaugebozo]

Yes, threads are far too quickly locked for being "unproductive". Let people have fun. Let thread creators get dunked on for posting something dumb occasionally. As long as it's not malicious, who cares?

Click to shrink...

Yeah really. You would think opening a thread was costly or something.

 

[Aya]

Could we pretty pretty please have more silly threads? This 24/7 spot light on negativity and impending doom and the constant star wars threads in the last year have really started to wear me down «_»

Edit.

Very true.

 

[Doggg]

Depends on how well they're done.

 

[wideface]

Love silly threads!
Hate attention-seeking/bragging threads. Not gonna mention any names.

 

[Addi]

I just know I don't make as many gifs and photoshops as I used to. Not many insane threads anymore.

Funny threads are fine. Silly threads can go away

Adding the Nintendo logo to images.

I enjoyed this in the old place so thought to bring it back.

Yeah it starts off low effort and kind of dumb, but it really picks up

"This thread is being closed because it does not meet our guidelines for putting proper effort into fostering solid discussion"

They need to really look into needing to adhere to this requirement so strictly. Some aimless, fun ribbing threads are needed. Does everything need to be a scholarly discussion on here?
