The forums was introduced for teasers, help, basically anything simpleplanes. Not for daily life things.
I understand the off topic tag exists but nobody cares if your cat ate your water heater.
Thats just a joke but it helps put into perspective how off topic things can get.
The "I'm leaving" posts
LITERALLY NO ONE CARES
requirements for someone to care:
-Platinum (over 30k)
-Well known user
-Active
I see so many of these forums being posted, all by bronze users or users less than bronze.
Its annoying and repetitive.
I understand people have friends, but it can be explained in your bio.
People often check bio's of inactive users for more info.
SimplePlanes shouldn't be your life and you don't need to post everyday.
You don't need to post if you're leaving.
The meme forums
Some meme forums are actually funny.
Some, not so much.
Don't post a forum unless its a good idea.
It clogs up forums.
Asking for help then not replying
What is the point of posting the forum if you're not gonna look at it for the next two months?
Once, I was browsing forums.
I saw a "help" forum.
I used my knowledge of building to help.
I requested to be tagged on an unlisted post to check the problem.
They didn't reply for another month.
Stop treating this place like Reddit.
The website may have some things similar to Reddit, but that doesn't mean it needs to be treated as such.
Like I said earlier, you don't need to inform us about anything that goes on in your life.
Some things, are relevant to SimplePlanes.
Other things, are not.
If you're going to post a forum, please make it about something relevant to SimplePlanes.
The amount of forums that I would've seen on Reddit is amazing.
I don't want to point fingers, so no forums will be mentioned.
Here is basically what I see:
[Random title]
my tv had a stroke and died, I'm not gonna be able to play simpleplanes for the next three hours
[Random title]
im leaving bye
edit: get trolled im not lmao
[Relevant to forum title]
what is the best restaurant in downtown City?
Its annoying to see, and I hope this forum will make people understand that the SimplePlanes website isn't Reddit, posting "im leaving" every thirty minutes isn't gonna get you attention, and to stop with the cringey meme posts.
Sorry for the rant, enjoy the rest of your day.
Edit: honourable mention
Glad to see people agree with me.
@IceCraftGaming
And you thought this wasn't a good idea.
Someone may ask; why?
.
The main point of this forum is to tell others that this is a video games website, not Reddit or 4chan or whatever.
.
I've wanted to make a forum like this for awhile, but I never did.
Sleep deprived me at 1:50-2:10am thought it was a good idea for this.
@Bellcat am I a well known user I mean if I go quiet people will want to know why and I'm only 8k
I just ate more onion :)
So u,, the triple headed person from phineas and fern has become purple, therefore affecting the economy of Antarctica. Therefore, I can’t play simpleplanes @Dathcha
@CL125 lmao ! !
"I went to Taco Bell yesterday, I hope I don't have too much toilet time tomorrow" lol but seriously, I agree on most points. I'm just trying to make you laugh.
I agree
Another Thing, If U Have Question, Ask Goggle Before We, He Has Always The Best Ensures.
It is not about whether people care that you have changed the decor of your living room, but it is about raising the quality of the content that we publish, I mean think, do you think this will benefit society, I prefer publishing pictures of planes than informing people that I will buy a hamburger
YOOO! CHIC MC NUGET FOR 5 dollar !!$$$$💪💪🤑🤑🤑🤑
@Nerfaddict hae?
This forum post aged like the Dom Toretto family meme
@Bobyo that was not meant to mention you
tbh tho i feel bad for this man theres like 10 of these now
nyet
Never
nah
@ArandomAustralian676 My point still stands
@FOXG, that is quite possible. However, as it might fall under the “no successor system circumvention” rule, I think this act might be barred.
These creators might have some fans, or at least some friends, and these fans/friends might wonder why said creator is inactive and begin to ask questions. The result: make a “I’m leaving” post publicly in the forums so their fans/friends won’t have ask them their whereabouts. But yeah, I get the point.
.
Depends. Memes considered “funny” usually come from life experiences. However, most memes created by Generation Z are liable to be branded as “unfunny” for their incomprehensible nature.
.
There might be reasons why the creator might not reply to their help posts. These include:
.
The main reason, I suspect, why some people are treating this like Reddit is because the community was grown from Reddit in first place (remember r/simpleplanes?).
Now for the “basically what I see” section: The first one might need more explanation as the description is confusing, only mentioning that their television had a “stroke”. The second one might result in backlash for faking your departure. The third one might be considered to be too far off topic and may be removed by the moderators for this reason (see the rules for more info).
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes
Thats good, I guess.
@ColonelCanada your post seems to be working; even though the "I'm leaving" posts continue to be made, they no longer appear on the "Hottest Posts" page
@IceCraftGaming
Who would've thought that a forum would take place as my highest upvoted post?
@ColonelCanada yup, a good idea I didn't think it was and here it is with 30 upvotes
