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.

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.

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.

Which he posted while I was writing my response; therefore I did not see it.

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.

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?

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

So.as long as it contributes something to OT, it's good to stay?

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 thinking
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

ANYWAYS...

Why did Taiga spam in the first place?

Most likely he learned his lesson quick.

So... select at random and hope for the best?

Well, I am a forum lurker / active poster since beginning of internet live which means old good BBS. I passed A LOT of "offtopic" / "shitthreads" categories and honestly, what was going on lately here was just plain retarded.

Random topics without any sense, complete random shithole with nothing to read, discuss or even worth posting a meme... just please, where current shitposting went.

OT needs some rules to make it GREAT AGAIN.

Just as there are universal laws that govern the world of nature, there are basic principles that govern our personal lives and relationships. These seven principles apply to every person, regardless of culture, background, religion, age, education, or social status.

An understanding of these principles can bring insights into the cause-and-effect sequences of life. Consequently, individuals can become equipped to make wise choices and avoid failure.

uhh, because it's still alive. i guess it's time to go back on topic and this thread will survive the lockstorm.

why do we need to post quality threads again?

i mean now to come think of it (1am thoughts) it's cuz this osu community lacks quality in general. i've rarely seen quality threads elsewhere (except those long stickied essays on gnr) and i guess ot is the only forum capable of making off-topic, quality threads. so its our mission to do so. :thonkang:

You need to post quality threads, because as we've discussed before, you're not the only one here, and others don't like seeing the utter shit you guys post.

At least in other subforums this shit has a relevant topic that can be discussed, rather that just posting for the sake of posting.
