Re: All views & Cafe
LP, you do realise that’s just 7 threads out of the 35 threads on the first page, right? That’s like 20% of AV threads being non-serious threads. So I wouldn’t agree that AV has been so much flooded that it needs to be merged with Cafe now.
Anyway, three of the highlighted threads should have been opened in Cafe for sure. Two weren’t moved because a little note was left for the mods saying not to move the thread so we left it at that thinking it isn’t going to do anyone any harm. That will change now. The third thread I just saw now. Two of these threads have been moved to Cafe. The third, along with the rest of the highlighted threads, has surpassed the number of posts before which we can move threads from a forum as per the policy guidelines. So they aren’t going to be moved. And I cannot guarantee if in the future all such threads will be deleted from All Views because, if you notice, one of the threads was opened by TLK bhai and two were opened by an AV mod. So looks like the team also feels such threads should be allowed in AV. Having moved the two threads to Cafe, we’re now down to 15% of the threads being non serious. 85% of the threads are still serious, intellectual, discussion-based threads. Like I said, we are willing to change that to 100% if people want us to.
Waisay Nomi, there is nothing adult/mature about the threads LP has highlighted otherwise she probably wouldn’t have voiced this concern to begin with. VIG would be the next best thing to Cafe for posters who feel too mature and too good for Cafe. And no, not everyone gets access to VIG but if everyone got the special privilege, it wouldn’t be so special, would it? The rest of the “adults” should feel free to create the sort of threads they want to see in Cafe but like I said that’s a different topic. So tell me what do you NOT want to see in AV.
