Superfluous's Feedback

[Superfluous]

the tl;dr is that we're becoming more strict about the sfa section. there are currently way too many crap posts in it, and we're trying to weed them out. your post wasn't utterly horrible, but it didn't add any stimulating discussion, so it was removed. also most of the posts you've quoted are 1-2 years old so not really relevant to the current discussion; im not gonna infract them ex post facto, but were they posted now, they'd certainly be infracted and removed.

 

Nice job lately, especially in the pardon section bud

This isn't a sfa thread. If we're going to follow rules, it is within the boundaries of said rules. Similar to the cancer thread you closed. It seems like you're acting out of self interest rather than imposing the official rules that exist. The premise of the thread which was stated in the title is what guides the thread. I can find many threads in general discussion similar to the one you closed. Also, the patronizing replies after closing the threads are unnecessary and undermine the professionalism you're suppose to hold. Whether or not you find the topics unpleasant, they do have grounds for discussion and do not circumvent the rules.

I was actually just about to post feedback regarding this, it should definitely be re-opened.

that's hardly a discussion given that his whole post was "title"

i'll reopen it due to popular demand, but i still don't think it should be around.

and that cancer thread was stupid as fuck http://www.sythe.org/sports-health-fitness/1863617-cancer-research-scam.html. i don't think that's a personal opinion-only sort of response to a thread like the one at hand, and even still, it has no business being in that forum so i'm content leaving it locked for that reason at the very least. the sticky there reads:

Things that belong here:
Anything to do with and news relating to:
Sports
Sportsmen and women
Fitness (Equipment, regimes etc)
Health (Food, equipment etc)
Dieting (Help, supplements, regimes etc)
Working out

and it's none of those

Well I tell ya what, that's a good way to remove the few new threads that are being made these days and discouraging people from making new ones. Yeah, they're dumb threads, but they're not spam. You're also chopping off content that could be used in a google search that would let someone end up here. Your super strict style of moderation would have been an advantage when this site was in its prime, but is a huge disadvantage in its current state.

Tbh chill bro

What is the difference between

Title: Should zoo's be illegal?
Post: Title

&

Title: Zoos
Post: Should zoo's be illegal?

That's essentially what these threads are:

http://www.sythe.org/general-discussion/1863608-age-you-would-keep-forever.html
http://www.sythe.org/general-discussion/1854314-whats-most-evil-company-corp.html
http://www.sythe.org/general-discussion/1826403-aliexpress-legit.html
http://www.sythe.org/general-discussion/1863863-what-do-you-do-living.html
http://www.sythe.org/general-discussion/1475551-favorite-shoe-style.html

All threads are guided through the title.

That's like you closing a thread like this:

Title: What's your favorite color for a car?
Post: Rephrases title

So you're telling me a topic about cancer has no relation to health? I don't get it.

Either way, Blupig pretty much covers everything in a nutshell. Just because you think a topic is stupid isn't enough to warrant closing it.

nice guy, on top of things
but you closed my threads rip

i closed the duplicate thread that was in the wrong forum. the one in the right forum is still around.

@ ghast/blu, yeah, i was a little harsh about the cancer thread last night. sorry about that. i'll reopen it in gen disc because "health" in the sports forum seems to relate more to personal wellbeing (e.g., "should i consume soylent?") and not "the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries"

You infracted me for what I presume was my post criticizing this other guy's post. Are you kidding me lol? That was such a far cry from spam, I was saying that the guy has disguised his post by trying to make women seem equal to men, but in reality he was clearly making men out to be superior than women (by the way he depicted their roles in life).

 

[GDunzoid]

nice person, got the dude that scammed me banned,

are you a grill or a dude

so post something constructive instead of just posting an opinion about his post. this is nothing personal, just a tightening of SFA rules that's applied equally to everyone posting there now (or as equally as I can keep up with )

definitely a grill

 

[SoSoX]

Followed through on the report post I sent in, thx.

 

[Biofighter]

one of the few who don't give drone-like responses to report threads; actually chuckled a few times to it.

Cheers

...it's not an opinion it's an analysis of his post which is constructive. that is literally every sfa response to another person's post. mine was in no way different that's my point.

Almost everyone does this in sfa.. This place has become a joke honestly.
