I am truly disappointed by the emotionally aggressiveness and hostility towards us by a few of you. We are only suggesting rules that will help preserve the quality and future of the forum. You presume we want to ruin everyone's fun for our own selfish gain. I then ask you, what will we lose by establishing some basic rules? If you want the forum to stay the way it is, ungoverned by rules or regulations, how will it improve in the future? If you have a compelling argument, then I encourage you to bring it forward. We are concerned with the welfare of the forum. If you love the forum and want to see it be a guiding light to newcomers, then help us. We only want to see the forum be the best source of information and idea gathering as much as possible. I use the term “Council” loosely because some might assume we think of ourselves more superior than others and that is not true.
I'm sorry but those people that you want to bring to order are the same people that comments and discuss most of the idea piched in here, even if it is only a funny joke or comment, keeps the discussion alive and bring people to read it.
We appriciate the comments and ideas that everyone brings to the forum. And an occasional joke/funny comment in light of the subject is fine. It's not a terrible thing for a thread to go quiet after it has been exhausted of discussion points because in the future, a new update, a curious new member, or some other idea may bring it back to life exactly where the discussion was left off. But if the underlying topic gets lost within 5 or 6+ pages of “daily mischief” then the core message is lost and most members who have opinions on that topic tend to simply create a new thread because the old one has gotten too long and difficult to read.
all the ideas piched never gets 1 comment from dev team and after a few commeting posts if we go off topic you can't really blame us for being playfull,
We think the forum is a great place to have fun and share experiences with fellow members and there are specific places set aside for that reason. However there are important topics that require a bit more discretion and professionalism. The dev team is more likely going to read a topic that is discussing the possibility of an idea seriously than multiple pages of teasing and personal playfulness.
So if you want more order why don't you ask dev team to assign each one of you as moderator to a specific section, that way you can exercise your wish to keep order with a higher support.
I personally have many ideas to help improve the functionality of the forum which I plan to share in the future. We are all passionate about the forum. Proof is in how long we've been members and been devoted to posting in the forum. We wouldn't make these kinds of suggestions if we knew it was going to hurt the growth of the forum.
Frankly latley every new idea that has been piched didn't get much attention or costructive comments so how are we supposed to keep on topic after an idea has been piched and not commented at all?
A high percentage of new threads created by new members have been duplicates of suggestions and ideas made before, and fairly recently too, within a few months. Instead of wasting time repeating the same discussion that was in the previous thread, it's been helpful to direct them to bump or read the older thread. Again, it's not necessary to feel obligated to keep a thread alive if it has served it's purpose for the time being. Focus your attention on threads that could use more input and ideas.
find a solution or explain your wishes without pointing fingers like you did in your initial post here, cause it really looks like you pointed fingers to those who keep wrinting here every day.
The solution is following some simple guidelines to help improve the forum. If you have a better solution, I would love to hear what you suggest. As I said before, we've all been guilty of being extra playful, some more than others but no one is being singled out.
about pic, depend on the use you wanna do of them. yes, there are some pics really needless (my fault agian), but sometimes i use them for some fun or tease too (talking about the pics dedicated to Blue and NG).
A moderate/minimal use of pictures can still be helpful in the right situations. They just require a bit more attention so it doesn't stall the loading time of the page or the length of the page. Adjusting the size or providing a link if the picture is directed to an individual would be helpful. That way, for those who aren't interested in the picture, they can skip over it easily.
some future poll are getting to long and no new idea are coming out from users and some suggested poses tend to start our fanttasy run and sometimes an answer, a joke is naturally
It's fine to make the occasional joke but sometimes that joke then leads to another joke, which leads to yet another joke. Pretty soon, we have 2 full pages of joking before someone tries to discuss the topic again. If we make a playful joke or comment, we need to try and not give into the temptation to let it snowball out of control.
It's okay to have some rules (everything need them!) but no one can say “i'm allways right, do as i wan!”. it's on all of us to try to stay in the right way. be polite, ok, respect, ok, use the right section, ok, but don't pretend to cut off peoples liberty….just moderate it when needed
We don't want to make members afraid to post for fear that they might break a rule or make someone upset. We just want to keep the forum respectable. The rules we suggested should be adequate enough to give members the freedom to express themselves about a topic in any way they want while still being respectful to the forum.
when hentai , medjai and me was little out of topic in the 3some poses one , what happened ? Someone was agressive with big red words , and after this , Medjai have proposed a 3some pose based on our off topic discution . This mean that be off topic can be good.
An off-topic discussion shouldn't require a JOLT like a defibrillator to bring it back on topic. It would be easier to inspire more ideas when you are able to clearly read the preceding ideas.
How can the forum become better? well, why not have someone go through the seemingly botomless pitt of older posts, and archive what is either in need of being closed, or so sadly out of date that it really, really should be archived.
I agree, old threads with voluble discussions should be preserved because there is always a possibility someone may feel compelled to go back and bring it back to life with new, fresh ideas.
ok. I have been on a good many forums in the past, and We're all adults here, (or at least we all better be thnking like adults), so lets all spread around huggles and stop giving one another proverbial black eyes.
I have been an active member of many forums myself. This is the most relaxed forum I've been apart of so far. There have been a few where new members were required to post 20 times before having authorization to create a new thread. I think we should be proud to have members who would gladly volunteer their time and effort to try and suggest positive ways trying to improve the experiences of their fellow members on the forum. And I am all for spreading around the huggles
I presume the rest of the council would agree with me but they have voices of their own and I expect they will express their own opinions. To those of you who responded in a rational and civilized way, I thank-you. Please understand that we only want to help. The truth might seem harsh but if you can view our stance from a logical standpoint, you should hopefully understand we had no other alternative but to approach the situation this way.
Wow. Just … Wow.
I don't understand why some of the replies suggest the respondent has been named or is being attacked. The initial post is fairly politic, and in my opinion, offered reasonable suggestions for how to treat the forums in future.
All one needs do is look at the posts about clothing, or poses that turn into one-line flirt fests to see that things get out of hand easily. I'm guilty as well. On more than one occasion I've wished that the threads could be cleaned up to the pertinent posts. Yes, that would mean dropping my flirts and cutesie responses, but when I go back looking for information, wading through the bloat of banter and teasing is tiresome.
I do understand that the forums should also have room for playful banter and I think a place for such would assist in keeping threads on topic. Keeping the play and teasing in an OT thread, designed for that very thing; an anything goes page, so to speak, would be a good idea. I suggest we call that thread “Entice Me” and we treat it as the VR equivalent of a local pub. In this thread you may: tease, flirt, dork around, tell jokes, gossip, hell talk about clothes or sports …. if you must. Only thing you can't do is a scene, we have rooms or the erotica board for that.
Ok, seriously, last edit. :
I know I'm not flawless, I flirt around a lot here, but there is a time and place for it. Some personal banter is inevitable and welcomed (by me
), but when the banter takes over a thread where discussion about something is expected and especially a sticky made by AChat themselves I think it's gone too far.Imo DemonXXX outburst in the Enter THREESOME pose idea to be developed thread is completely justified, he asked a question regarding the topic but that question was completely ignored in favor for another page of personal banter.
Is that how we want things to be in a thread that is relatively important to AChat? Does someone have to scream out loud to get things back on track?
What happened in that thread made me want to sign this, I think it was very rude to completely ignore his on-topic question and just continue flooding the thread. If someone might've had something to say to his question that person would very likely have missed his question completely.
I also think it's rude to question the reason and validity of a topic and the author of it after it has created an interesting discussions between users here at the forum. If your genuinely curious then go read the first page of the thread, the first post usually tells you who, what and why.
