*Please read*

Exactly. I have been a board member for 7(?) years and started maybe a dozen threads. People ought to really be more considered when a thread idea comes to them. I have to say at least half the threads that come up around here are sorta useless. Not awful but not really needed in a lot of cases. But I just ignore them. That's the nature of a board like this.

yeah but should niles paul converting to TE really be part of the Redskins have signed Morgan and Garcon?

You'd think it would be.. skins have signed blah blah thread

Our Receiving corps so far for 2012 thread

Niles Paul converting to Tight End thread

I mean.. the headline of signing the guys doesn't imply that's it's an EVERYTHING WR/pass catcher thread

plus google will pick up on a lot more things if they are the thread title (and page title) which could bring more members/$ for the site

A) There are a lot of stupid threads that are started, that's a fact

B) I'll take the blame for throwing the Paul news into the Morgan thread. At the time it was an "oh by the way" statement. But I guess it's turned into something more

C) People still don't read. I'm talking about just reading a few of the most recent posts. And honestly, if you don't have time to read at least most of the latest posts then you don't belong on this board. This isn't a blog for you (the general you, not you specifically) to come on and just spit out your thoughts. This board is for dialogue and debate

I feel that there should be a 1000 post minimum before a user can start a thread.

While anyone can make the argument that the Niles Paul didn't belong in the Garcon/Morgan thread, it was already being discussed at length when the new thread was created.

People should make a quick test before creating a thread or posting breaking news...if it happened more than 3 hours ago, it is most likely being discussed in the forum.

You know how there's the whole "F*ck It I'm Going Deep" joke about Rex Grossman? I think some people here that go "F*ck It I'm Creating a Thread".

Guys new idea. 1,000 post minimum before starting a thread. And Matty I definitely agree. People need to read the thread before posting.

what is the problem with more threads? more memory?

1000 posts? Seriously? That would have a negative impact and turn a lot of new posters off.

The overall goal of a forum is to increase communication. If we are going to have a 1000 post waiting period, to learn, we are basically making this forum into a "good old boys" email chain.

I think 1,000 posts is a good minimum for creating threads.

agreed

and properly separating the subjects benefits us all

wasn't even aware that it was you that did it

dialogue and debate is much better when kept somewhat to the same topic

dialogue and debate is much better when kept somewhat to the same topicin that case, wouldn't more threads be better?

Bottom line is people weren't reading posts that were written just minutes before, and that's why this thread was started. If there's a thread called 2012 NFL Draft Prospect and at 11:48am someone posts Morris Claiborne's Wonderlic score and then at 11:54 you come on and post the exact same thing...that's a problem.

If no one posted anything, and you felt it was worthy enough to be a new thread by all means we'd rather you did that. At worst, we'll just lock it...then ban you...and impound your car...and close your accounts...and see it to you never post on another Redskins message board again!
