Some threads might have little to no care-factor or relevance to given people, but all of those have some point or topic for discussion. The idea that the entire "point" of this thread is posting a cartoon and asking for discussion is ridiculous, and that's the reason why some people are questioning it and asking why it wasn't locked. Evidently, it was locked, but that's not because anyone admitted it was pointless, it was because of "popular demand".

 

 

 

Theoretically, under this precedent, I could post any cartoon and ask for discussion right now.

 

 

 

How about this one:

See? He wasn't a real cop. Let's discuss this.[/hide]

 

That's exactly what I see when I read the OP. As expected, the discussion value thereafter was virtually zero. Just skim through the thread again if you don't believe me.

 

 

 

By the way, as ginger said, I'm not asking for this to be locked, I'm just explaining why some people (myself included) questioned the thread.

 

 

 

I agree with you to a certain extent. Most of the threads in this forum are meant for public discussion/debate, and certainly the discussion value of this thread is negligible.

 

 

 

What I can't understand is why this thread wasn't just moved to the art forum. It is more then worthy of being there, and that would satisfy both those who love this thread and those who feel that it is useless.

 

 

 

As the mod/admin relationship, having been a moderator on another forum, I had my decisions occasionally corrected by an administrator. I don't believe its a slap on the hand, simply the judgment you made may have not been the best. I would find it very unlikely that anyone as mature and unbiased as the tif mods all are could possibly have a grudge against an admin because of this.

[warri0r45]

Agreed, I thought it would have been better in the art forum.

[dragoonson]

What I don't understand is how some of you didn't notice this thread has indeed been recreated in the gallery in the events between locking and unlocking.

Did you know that you two are having an actual discussion/debate? Therefore, I believe this thread does in fact hold discussion value.

[evil_mumm_ra]

yeah, but it's not really on topic, it is a little bit. the thread itself is more the reason for the arguement, the debate is about the moderation/adminship and all sorts of other crap i'm not bothered with cause i'm not either one of them.

I've put heavy thought and consideration into this following post.

 

 

 

As for as this threads content it is silly yes, but people had fun, I looked at the first page and saw TONS of serious topics vs fun, we never locked the drawball topic , Aspies on Tip.it, prank calls and other harmful and humorous threads. Overall I see lots of good mature threads and some for fun, so I dont see the need and have never *understood* the need to spam "spam omgz" on a topic.

 

 

 

As far as elitism or cliques, Tip.it has had cliques since 01, I should know I was a part of them way back then for those who were around, not so much now, it's ironic some who mentioned cliques at one point as a user I felt were in one themselves. Off topic has never been perfect, I remember vaguely it was bashed in 01-03 for being too "Fun" and later on for being strict, finding the perfect groove is without a doubt challenging. Although I wont admit I read off topic, I was always more of a general man myself, I think the current topics have improved from what they were in recent memory. 144 pages on is god real, 10+ on breastfeeding, sex and the gaza strip, homosexuality and thats just on the first page. There was a time I remember when most of those topics were disallowed - why being irrelevant as depending on the era the blame either lies within the staff or the users maturity, But i'm not so sure how topics can be more mature or serious or even discussion worthy. I'll admit, I'm suprised the breastfeeding thread has went on as long as it has.

 

 

 

Next up on my mind is favoritism. It doesnt happen. I'll tell you now this thread did not stay open because of the author - but because the staff who saw it felt it was lighthearted and fun and people were having fun with it. if a mod actually broke a rule, I myself can speak on behalf of the adminstration and say they would be reprimanded and not allowed to do what they please. As a clan guy my entire platform is unbiased moderation with a section for the users - by the users.

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly, I'm leaving the replies that got this thread locked, if I remove them, they look horribly out of context and this reply will make less sense than it does now with them.

 

 

 

Rab - A former Adminstrator here said to me in 2001 - Tip.it is what you make it, as a user you define what the forum is - Think a thread sucks, don't post and it will plummet - One mans favorite thread annoys the other.

 

 

 

every topic will never please everyone, So I ask you to be tolerant - Think a thread breaks the rules - Report it. Think it sucks? Go on to the next topic and let it die, Like it or wanna debate? Post away? Think they all suck, start your own topic and lets see how well yours does ;)

You do realize that over half of the post on this forsaken seven paged thread are either defending the decision for it to be left open or opposing it. The threads you mentioned, such as "Prank Calls" or "Drawball" actually had discussion value. With prank calls, you could easily share your stories of prank calls, or your experiences with them. However, with this thread, the only sort of discussion value is: "LOL" "You're a good artist and that made me laugh." and "SPAM OMG. If this was some Tip.it newbie, it wouldn't be left open." And I have to say, that's the only reason this thread is left open - because of the author's street reputation.

I disagree. I think that if people like it, as they clearly do, it would remain open, regardless of the thread author.

 

 

 

But honestly, just move it to the art forum, it would solve all the problems.

[evil_mumm_ra]

there is a thread in the gallery about it.

People can enjoy lots of threads. But a lot of them have little to no discussion value, such as this one, and get locked because of it. And if there is a thread in The Gallery about it, why is this still open?

[Rainy_Day]

Suprisingly, this thread is not a topic about "Where do you think this topic belongs?" :?

I don't want to seem argumentative, but half of this thread is, "Does this thread belong?"

Indeed, so let's get back to main topic, eh?

[Nom]

Allow me to point out the fact that this thread would be long dead by now if not for the continued bickering over whether it should exist in the first place. The dissenters are, in my opinion, correct in saying that there is little discussion value. If you look back over the last few pages, it seems like everyone else realized that as well, and the thread should have died peacefully after everyone had their share of "LOL" posts. At this point you're just beating a dead horse.

Agreed. As Das said, if nobody thinks this topic has discussion value and doesn't post, it will just die. However it seems people do want to discuss it, let them. Mod intervention isn't really necessary.
