I honestly don't really care personally about chainposting, but it doesn't sit right with me that someone who is a GMT and certainly can pull on some strings did this thread.

I'm honestly forseeing Anaxii being exiled for no real reason other than this annoyance.

While it is currently only something Anaxii does, there were other people in the past doing it.

Being exiled over this is definitely an overreaction, but other than that, what's the problem exactly? I do care about what people in this subforum think, both as a moderator and as a forum poster. Yes, I have "the power" to moderate the place, but that's what I'm doing either way, here I'm just interested in hearing what people think over this issue, because I do see people reporting it rather often as of recent.

It should be obvious where the problem is: you've enough power to stop Anaxii or anyone who has such behavior from posting entirely on OT and silencing her if this thread is overwhelming in majority against chainposting, with no one here being able to stop you or even willingly to.

Someone did it once in OT and it was like "haha funny".
Then they did it a few more times and it was getting kinda annoying and they stopped.
Now it happens very regularly even outside OT*.

Also it's technically against this rule of OT since the posts are not funny nor interesting (wrote that without thinking of the thread):

Which is kind of a repeat of global forum rule 1 (although we could argue it doesn't completely apply to OT):


There's no rule against spam in forums strangely enough but there's one for chat and also the one about using common sense.

*even if it was allowed in OT within reason because "shitpost" it should definitely be banned everywhere else.

Side Note

As much as I find the whole "haha anaxii sucks" stuff to be a consequence of post farming, if I was in Anaxii's shoes I'd feel quite demotivated from constantly being called out. I might sound like a hypocrite, but we should probably give her a break despite disagreeances (unless she doesn't care, which in that case all is good).

It's the point? We want her to stop, we've said it nicely and she even said she would stop at some point but never did.

You should see me chainposting up to 4 pages back then - not 4 threads, 4 pages.

oh yeah, i remember that, iirc i also kinda chainposted back then, though it was only like 1 page

In fairness, chainposting didnt happen that much in ot back then, so i suppose it is fine if the newer gen bans it, as there is not really much to miss from chainposting except for just spamming.

OT does not increase post count, however, people still chain post, and chainposting is annoying

Also as I've said already they do it outside of OT too so that argument doesn't really work.

oh kobold meant to also ban it outside of OT?, in that case my yes turns into a YES

If it is meant for the entire forum, why it is posted here then? I think this is specifically for OT and no other forums.

If the contents of the posts in the chainposts are all relevant and arent just 1 word spams or something like that then I dont really see the harm in it too much.

Considering that I do chainpost in help, I cant be a hypocrite and say BAN THIS and I HATE IT. I think the context matters and if the chainposting is actually on topic.

I mean I chainpost in help because when I come home from work I look at that forum and go through the first page for anything that doesnt have another post or can be easily answered. I feel that just banning the action of chainposting is not the point but evaluating the content of the many posts to make sure they are all making sense and are not just nonsense spam.

The idea isn't the forum topic but the nature of what we are trying to decide if its good or bad.

why is chainposting in help ok if im helping versus why is chainposting in OT, in general, bad if they are staying on-topic and making meaningful posts on those threads?

Im making these arguments to get more details on what line they'll be enforcing, because someone that is staying on topic and is making genuine responses to posts, imo, shouldn't be punished for just being active and wanting to engage with the community. They should get punished if they are deliberately making spam posts or are deciding to necro post without the revival reply being good reason to do so.

I'd like to be more involved in this discussion and what not because being punished for being active is something I have personally dealt with in this community and I dont want it to fall on those who are just enjoying the forums and enjoying the interactment between the game and the website.

I think the line for me is in OT, if they're answering to EVERY topic, if you're just a regular person who is active, you're going to just skip some that you're not interested in, but if you do EVERY topic, that is pretty clear that you're just spamming.
