Junk Bin

[Almeidaboo]

I think it´s just fun to see all the fights and flaming and such. Other than that, plain useless, since nobody will really learn from that. MOst people come to the forum assholes, same way they leave the forum: as assholes. I people do not listen to a hundred members saying "do not topic kick", "no flaming", "no spamming" (whatever this means), why would they bother looking at the bin to search for their rotten past? They´ll laugh at that and find themselves funnier than ever...

The trash bin is in many communities.

Lots of succesful communities and it also has been in bad communities.
It's not something original so I have no idea of what you speak.

And again, off-topic is not being on topic... you are reffering to off-topic as spam. Off-topicness does not equal spam! < this statement is off-topic but it is not spam! YOu are confusing yourself.

And waht is this wild-west crap?

The Junk Bin isn't creating any more new locked threads. Those threads would have been (and were) locked for good reasons. Since no one can reply to them anyway, there is nothing for them to do in All of All (or wherever they were origionally from) except slowly sink to the bottom of the forum list. Thus the bin clears out dead topics will still keeping them some place so that they could be read for amusement's sake.

I don't have any fantasies that the Junk Bin will help educate people on why topics were locked. Threads have been locked for months now, and people still break the very same rules. The Junk Bin likely won't change all that. But it is good for a few laughs while keeping the other forums clean.

Not every "n00b" who comes here as a moron will necessarily stay a moron forever.

How do I know? Well, I was one of those "annoying n00b" types once (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...), though not on this message board.

Some people do change. The problem is... most of them don't (or they WANT to act stupid, in many cases--yes, people actually do that, especially on the internet).
