snapshot of hottest topics taken just now.

is this naming & shaming? or showing & blowing?  only the mods can tell us.

chances are the messenger is going to get shot.

It's too bad staff has no vision for the forums. They let young children (many below the age allowed) fill the forums with useless topics.

And the really weird thing is, non-spam posts get like only 1 - 1k posts, but word games goes through the roof.

The thread attempting to be the largest got deleted. Lmao

Meh, that feels inconsistent. They let kids spam other topics.

Or maybe these kids were taking it a little too far... oh well. Wish they'd just ban all the crap.

Avatar of ChesswithGautham

Well that thread which wanted to be the biggest got deleted, so I guess that is some progress.

Avatar of miskit_mistake

Almost seems like the mods have a sadistic sense of humor. They let it go on long enough and at the last moment when the kids feel they're about to achieve greatness, whoosh.

Nothing like giving hope and then dashing it all down at the last moment.

Don't know folks but I think we might have underestimated the mods and have a lot to learn from them.

Amusing how some people can decry the content of the forums while also decrying the tool that gives them the power to actually change the direction of content in the forums. Although I suppose the Word game fans would be a bad fandom to annoy, since there are clearly more of them and better organised. I guess that makes it cowardice rather than ignorance happy.png

A sandbox to contain their energy outside the main forum might make sense
