discussion value!

Threads have to have discussion value, or else they're spam, right? But what is discussion value? If a thread is asking you which video game females you have a crush on, is that really promoting discussion - or at least, the kind of discussion you want to promote? It's not like moderators don't make the distinction elsewhere - after all, they ban people for trying to discuss politics or religion on the mains. So why not ban discussions about what your favourite colour is, or your favourite type of pizza topping? Are those really discussions worth having? Aren't they really just spam? Basically, where do you think the line should be drawn? If an AMA doesn't promote discussion, can you really say a "how old are you?" thread does? And if a thread about accents does promote discussion, can you really say threads that ask other binary questions don't? [Edited on 12.22.2012 7:22 PM PST by Old Papa Rich]

People aren't going to rip each other apart over a color or pizza.[/quote]My point is that empty discussions seem to me to be just as detrimental to a forum's quality as overly heated ones.[/quote] So your worried about the floods image being damaged by color/silly/offtopic threads? Rofl waffles! (And yes I'm assuming your talking about the flood)
