Re: Lockdown on SPAM, and topic moves

1) I'd like to address the most common problem with this board, spam. Mostly I believe that the 'I Like Pie' topics are spam, especially since everytime is very closely related! There are other spam topics, but why can't these topic be closed.

Most of these topics are, in fact, closed. I have not seen one in a few weeks that was not closed soon after posting. Some of the semi-serious ones posted in Misc. float by and quickly go to the Land of Forgotten Topics quickly, but the ones in Comedy Cafe are usually closed quickly.

2) I'd also like to address, topic moves. Mainly, this problem occurs with Miscellaneous Stuff 'n' Comedy Cafe. I have seen topics that even in their entirety are not funny, and are more of Miscellaneous. I have also seen topics that aren't funny, but are a honest attempt at being funny, these topics belong in Comedy Cafe.

The line between comedy and "other" is often very easy to blur. But I think that the moderators are doing a good job with this. After all, there's no way to stop people from posting senseless topics. We have a crazy community which tends to produce discussions which are not always the most serious ones. However, I agree that the "Yes/No/I like pie" polls are stretching the line between Misc and Comedy. After all, some people find such spam funny, and others find it very, well, miscellaneous. It's a matter of opinion really.
