Shared/Contributer Lounges

[Vindicated]

This is kinda picky :/. But anyways, I'm kinda sick of people posting things in that section that really should be posted somewhere else, like homework help or cool songs and stuff like that. Isn't that what General is for? I'm just saying those sections should be used for stuff that used to be posted in there.

So I'm suggesting that we ban those types of threads from the "special ranking" sections.

Sounds like a good idea, too much junk clogging up that forum

[tyminatorx2]

Maybe ppl don't want tards helping them with HW

[Democides]

But isn't the definition of a "Lounge" a place to relax? (Or something similar)
Not saying your wrong, but what exactly do you want to be posted there?

No, we're not going to ban those threads.

A lounge is a place where people hang out. If the gentleman's club wanted to talk about about their kids homework for an hour, they would have the right to do so. Shared Lounge is an open section for people with that "status" to talk to each other about everything and nothing. If it doesn't break a sitewide rule, then it doesn't break a rule.

Don't think once you get a higher status you don't have any rules in the higher sections as the elite guides / exploits have strict rules. Shared Lounge is just an additional space for people to be able to talk more privately to members who have contributed to the website, whether by donating or by getting 80 rep.


TL;DR

Shared Lounge = Open Discussion with the usual site-wide rules.

shared lounge = easier to get rep than having to post in the general forum.

more people view the shared lounge including (donators, and people with high rep power) I've almost never posted anything that is 'general' in the general section.

It's da truf


and so is parogs definition.

It's your decision eh Parog?

There are threads that I think SHOULD not be allowed anywhere.

There is a definition for the Shared Lounge..

"This lounge is for donators, contributors, elites, legendaries so we will get rid of all the double posts."

No where does it say leisure or anything of the sort. That is the general section.

The definition of the general section is;
"All off-topic discussions go here."
Off topic meaning Non-MMo related.

Non-Mmo related would include;
Homework
"Its my Birthday" threads
General questions none wow related; Computer help, questions etc.

This is just going by the description under the shared lounge.

If the lounge was for "anything" it would include the underlined words in the description of the Contributor's Forums;

"Private forum for members contributor and up. Talk about anything here, this forum is closed to the Members Group + Public."

Just my 2 cents.

Also, for the sections in general, I think the rules need to be inforced or defined more. I have seen to many giveaways etc in both of them. Also, I dont see why people are posting trading/selling threads in them either.

If i remove the ability to get rep in those sections then all those wanker threads disappear.
