Junk Bin

[Drace]

I find it a good idea, but why?

[Kijuki_Magazaki]

We need a place for all junk to go to.

Eventually over time it will be deleted, as in the junk in it. Think of it as a recycling bin. Some people might see the idiotness they've made and such.

So you can either learn from it, or ignore it; depends on how your mind  sees it.

[Drace]

Ah, so it's kinda an 'anti-spam/flame' phycology thing?

[Kijuki_Magazaki]

Depends on how you see it.

For some it might just be where all locked thingd go to.

This is a brilliant idea, as it allows us to get rid of spam (out of sight, out of mind) and eventually delete it, and allow someone to see why their topic was locked.  Yes, some people actually think that their topic consisting of this:

"IHATE ____!  HESH A PRIC, ............................................................. .......................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................... .........................................................................................................."

Is okay and honestly don't know why it was locked.  In my opinion, it should be deleted, but this is a great way to let those spam-happy individuals see what they did wrong, and get rid of stupid crap.

Also, everyone will be able to see an example of what will get your topic locked.

I come back for a little bit to find... Yay! New forum!

Eh... but I dont really like the idea..

First of all, just the name. "Junk Bin". Ok, that'll make the forum look good. Second of all, we're putting all the content that you've locked so that we could end the discussion (and forget about it), and we cant reply to it if we have a view on it, so why bother? Third, I can see what you mean by a place to learn from, but we already have the rules on the forum index, a sticky in the all of all, and even a rules forum. Do we really need more examples? And my last argument would be, have you looked at the mod/admin logs lately? Literally hundreds of pages of mod actions, a majority of them lockings. That forum is going to quickly fill up and take up space, and I dont think anyone is going to sift through pages and pages of closed topics that they cant reply to. Kinda cancels out the "example" reason to have it.

Thats just my ideas. If you really think it helps the forum in some way, then do what you wish.

[Kijuki_Magazaki]

Appperantly regardless of these 'many examples' there is still a lot of people not following these examples. So it really does help for that, or it might not.

It's called reflection asa, not 'let's post again and make up for it'. People will see and either ignore it, or will reflect on it and learn something.  There's no need to posts to reflect or ignore.

Yes I've seen the log file,  most of the new actions are by me  because I've been moving locked threads around forums to the junk forum, then when I move them, there's a bug that makes them re-open, meaning I have to re-lock them again. Making it look like I am going like lock frenzy.

So indeed; things in it will be delted eventually so there isn't a problem.

I wouldn't say it's revolutionary, but it can't hurt

You should have named it "This is the real ****" instead.

[White Dwarf]
