Things that make for a good/bad thread

[Ulysses]

Please add your thoughts (including thoughts on polls).

Good: a topic people have opinions on

Bad: something that has been recently discussed

(Providing example links would be great.)

Edited to add: Please keep your comments as general as possible, including example threads if possible.

Good : pics of your hot ex-gf fingering herself.
Bad : people bumping old threads for no reason.

Bad: Things that belong in your blog Example

This is a goood idea as I am planning on making a sticky with my policies concerning threads, posts, users and bannings. This should help with that.

[censored], could you include somewhere (possibly in this sticky?) a list of who's been banned? That would make this thing way more entertaining for the spectator who can't read every thread.

thx.

I think I can work that in.

Bad: Questions that have been covered countless times: Example general tipping questions

I'll keep pointing out this is a great idea.

My one thought on bad threads, I've got more, but I can't voice them well right now.

Threads with polls that don't need polls. Polls are for the most part a good way to prevent discussion. I like them best when their used either to solve an argument, or just for humor (beedogs), but if you're saying "what should I do" why limit the advice that can be given to you with a poll.

Should you sticky a policy thread, please put emphasis on how useful "-re:" can be for searching.

Good: Whatever you think is interesting
Bad: People who don't share you view telling you that whatever you post sucks, that YSSCKY, and giving any other advice/opinions that are rude in nature all the while forgetting that they chose to read the topic by clicking. Also, people that take OOT and/or themselves way to seriously.
