Why do we need to post quality threads in off-topic?

This is a good topic, and I would like to discuss it further.
As I see it, we are posting "quality" to please out current moderator, Flanster. However, it looks like he is not currently satisfied with our conduct. So why should we post quality here? Any attempt simply gets hammered either immediately or after a page. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if this thread gets locked as well.

well we should have another round of this discussion either way, whether this thread gets locked or not. looking at past examples, it is hard to straight out define which threads get locked and which don't.
"So why should we post quality here?" (sorry im using quick reply so..)
imo to what i've seen off-topic quality / criteria is usually determined by the overlord present during that period of time. which means.. we should stick to flan's expectations or negotiate the extent to how shitty our posts can be.

not so logical != retarded
I've only spammed once, and I now realize that was a mistake; I apologize. Although I'm pretty sure I'll never hear the end of it.Raspberriel wrote:
That's still not an excuse for spamming.
I agree with this as well. Maybe Flan should give us clear expectations on his definition of quality, because obviously mine does not match up with his.kai99 wrote:

Can you please expand on this? Retardedness is very subjective; the extremes are clear, but what of those posts that fall in the middle? What of those questionable posts? Surely you must have a guideline for locking.Flanster wrote:

something can be completely absurd but still not hot garbage
unfortunately "hot garbage" seems to be the only thing some (not all) of you are capable of

Bwoah.. I just evaluate if the thread's topic (if any) is interesting enough and worth expanding on. If it "barely makes it" lets say, I let it stay and see how it goes. If it derails, which in most cases does, it goes to helvette. Typical examples are posting random youtube videos, food recipes, irrelevant random conversations, random memes and topic hijacking even. What are "questionable" posts?johnmedina999 wrote:

So..... as mentioned yesterday it's the mindset of peeps. we should have a behavioral session :thonkang:
actually a really good example of this kind of stuff is the 'helvetica standard' shorts from nichijou
absurdist humor may look "low effort" but it is actually somewhat involved
the ot news dudes have the right of it. high effort low-effort shitposting, if that makes sense

i think that makes sense, and it's what i've been thinking about a long time.
dk if that will even happen tho
So.as long as it contributes something to OT, it's good to stay?Flanster wrote:

90% of the time if the thread makes it to page 3, it is quality enough in my book.
The only time that doesn't work is when I thread gets spammed to page 3+, the thread has been made by a mod, or the thread got stickied
Now we need quality here because where else would you post top quality memes and meta? The shit threads do get annoying because you get nowhere with those and just take up space.
If this ever surpasses Something Awful forum's quality, then I have succeeded in my goal

so basically it's something that looks like low-effort and contents are also low quality but actually requires a lot of effort and thinkingjohnmedina999 wrote:

i'd say this is a good example
t/21099
but TBH THIS IS HIGH QUAL :THONKANG:
but then it really differs because some people are just good at making threads like this
90% of the time it works. And that thread got spammed to 3+roshan117 wrote:
