It's a thread where people are posting 3 word at a time, why should it matter?
Well, you're right. I avoid those threads, so I don't really have the right to say what I said.

Okay well, it's not like I'm against having one thread, but why not keep having GSTS as that thread? Why General Chat? Although I assume this will get turned into it soon.

I don't frequent the Chat Thread, but aren't you guys only supposed to lock them once they've reached 10,000? Chat Thread only had 3300..

They're merging all chat threads together.

They're merging them into one. So no more posting there?


Don't worry, I'll still be an asshole to keep all the new ones out.

Soooo what if some people try to break off again and make their own chat thread, which to my knowledge is what happened with Chat Thread in the first place?

Make a club, go use Skype (which is what some people have already done), etc. Parallel chat threads are a nuisance, especially when people carry two conversations in two separate threads


But if right, you get all these people into one thread, that thread is going to be moving way too fast and no one will be able to keep up with anything. Just like I've kinda had trouble with here.


agreed its hard to keep up in one thread with everybody.

If anything, forcing people who don't get along to coincide in one thread is asking for more trouble. Is MAL really that weak of a server to not be able to shoulder two chat threads instead of one? All these actions personally come off as slightly short sighted...

Isn't the point of this website to make the users happy? If you see all this complaining, isn't obvious the users aren't happy? So why not go back to different chat threads...

Yeah but MAL users are usually complaining, so they probably just thought 'Fuckit' and have come accustom to blocking it out. Or realise we're never going to be happy.

I don't want to though, but it's kinda uncomfortable when you post in a thread where you know no one (like new GSTS) and get ignored.

Or stop being fags all together. People who are asshats are going to be banned. I've already banned three people for their idiocy in this thread, and more are likely to follow.

This is not spam anymore. You can't post macro images as a reply. There is no quotechaining. One word replies are not acceptable. Get used to it.

Simply quoting somebody and not adding anything else. Just reposting their post. And multiple iterations of it.

First, I'd like to say I'd like a warning before you decide to ban me Asako,Saito,Kimura,Boursk,Nayah,Sohei,Kaiser and the others. All these new rules are confusing to follow and I might not know when or if I'm breaking them. I usually hold myself with some decorum so I'm usually sensible. But I still don't know why I was banned last time, even after going over the rules.

No. That's a worthless reply.


But it's agreeing and sharing the same views as another poster and forming more conversation from that. Would a better reply be 'Oh hell yeah, I hear that?'.....I might actually go with that.

I do agree banning straight away was a bit rash. People are going to need some warning since most of the people who got banned haven't been posting for quite a while.

While that sounds reasonable it's probably better than you familiarize yourself with the new rules.

Hardly. This is where people chat about random stuff (as opposed to news and general topics). If you don't want to chat, and simply want to spam and do statusupdates, I suggest finding another site.

Asako went over that in that sticky. General discussion is actual discussion in which you provide a post that isn't related to yourself and leads on a discussion. This is casual chat, in which you chat, usually about yourself and junk. It's not as important.

So why all the restrictions on Spam?

Because Spam was a pile of shit for quite a long time up until recently. All the terrible threads just piled to the top and the worthwhile ones sunk to the bottom.
