Containment Threads

Bump

Absolutely hate the idea, quite literally makes no sense, why would you take your specific argument and then go put it in a thread where people are having conversations about something nearly completely different and less people will see it, guaranteed. quick put all battles in one thread because they share the fact theyre battles

I like containment threads on things that pop up every 5 minutes (ie every time someone makes a comment on character race switching it seems to get its own thread) or things not directly related to comics.

Those threads are a mess. Like hundreds of pages of people in the middle of their conversations.

Unless it's like the exact same title/point, they should be allowed.

Bump.

Posts get ignored all the time (i ignored ^ all that), but threads are looked at a lot. So if someone were to create a thread about some feminist saying she wants to massacre all men it would get attention and start a discussion, meanwhile a post would get ignored and start little to nothing. A thread thats vague and prevents other threads prevents discussion, education, and news.

I like the containment threads.

Too many ding-dongs making a thread for EVERY little piece of news about a topic. Makes the forums incredibly cluttered and it's unnecessary. I don't want to scroll through 7 different threads talking about feminism, 5 talking about race issues and 8 about religion on the same page when they could all be tossed into one thread.

Honestly it's so congested in those threads with so many topics and arguments that I don't go to them anymore. I'd prefer it if it was about a character/team that they'd post in that character's/team's forum (aka Batman forum, Spider-Man forum) in CV so there's separate threads yet still organized and exclusive.

Forums take up bandwidth and slow the site down. Slow site, less traffic.

Multiple topics for the same off topic subject need to be moderated. More work for us.

The site should be for comics discussion primarily. There's already way less quality comics discussion than there should be.

"This would be the same as locking every thread on the daredevil forum because there is a daredevil discussion thread."

Just wanted to highlight this part. Some topics are too big for a containment thread. If I were to make a post in the religion thread about something recent that happened it would be buried by some other users arguing over this thing or that thing, and no one would ever see it or respond to it. We shouldn't be discouraging discussion.

But it would cost money apparently, and money > user satisfaction
