Urgent: The situation
costargh:
Do you think its convinient to scroll thru 50 or so "new posts in threads" to try and fine one thread which u actually want to read?

What the hell is going on?
Why is this happening?

Life moves on. As do people.

Or hopefully it's just a temporary thing; It's the holidays, people are at home, possibly lazy to go out and there's not much to do on the computer but to post on VN, resulting it to be more of a chat room than a e-bulletin. (But then again, there's the IRC for that..)

I've also realised an increase in posts such as the following:

--- Quote from: Random ---Blah blah blah.

YEAH LOL I AGREE ;D

Enwiabe, try disable post counts :P See what happens then.
The VCE forum on BoS is actually pretty quiet the last time I checked. Anyway, it'd be a bummer if this place fell apart.

+1 on the pointless "Yeah I agree" thing (lolz, that's pretty hypocritical right there, but still)...
Yeah, the VCE forum on BoS is completely dead. But even the HSC sections there, which get more traffic than we do here, aren't as good in my opinion. However they do have a much much larger collection of fora which are basically Sweet Nothings x 9000.
(I still go on BoS occasionally but mainly for the ANU forum.)

moderators should become more strict towards spamming and msn conversations
--- End quote ---
Is it really that though?
I think half the problem is that there are now SO MANY threads which promote msn styled convo which u cant simply tell people off for.
Some are just random stupid "what colour hair do you have" crap.

I don't see what the problem is. If you don't like the thread, don't read it. Simple

You don't get it. It's not about whether liking it or not; This thread deals with the issue of an alarming (possible exaggeration) amount of people leaving due to the useless threads/pointless posts, not about the likability of them.
enwiabe:
It's 4 people...
Caramel left for personal reasons, not so-called "post deterioration". Droodles MAINLY left because VCE was over.
If BA22 and bturville left over post quality, then I'm sad to see them go, but:
- People are still be helped in large numbers
- Spam posts are being targeted by moderation team
- VN is experiencing VERY large growth (roughly 2500 members in the last 3 months alone)
I don't think there is any urgent situation whatsoever. The spam problem has been recognised and targeted. Nothing is gained from such ludicrous panic-mongering.
