I genuinely don't know? I see goofiness often, but I am not sure I see the shenanigans Mike is referring to. Maybe I do, but I am not clear on what is going on. I don't need to know though. 60-100 posts of nonsense, I don't think I'd make it off the first page of that stuff before moving on.

It’s more annoying than anything...

Someone starts what I think is an interesting thread, and the next day i'm excited to see thirty or more responses only to open it and find twenty five of them are two members having a private joke.  Sometimes I think the cornfield might be too good for them. To paraphrase Kevin Costner- sometimes, you just got to drop them off at the train station.

So, your goal is to keep the thread on the tracks even little humors are allowed?

Earth shaking outcomes sometimes develop from a series of events starting with something as small as a fly landing on a mountain in tibet.

But if this place survived the board redesign a few years ago I guess maybe this might not be too bad.

I have noticed a group of people often going into threads and taking them off topic with nonsense postings.  This is disrespectful to the original poster and those that have contributed to the thread in a proper way.  There are bound to be off topic posts in threads.  That is part of what keeps this place fun.   However, when I see 60 to 100 posts, and only a few are on topic, this is not ok.  At this point, the person's thread is ruined. There are many that don't want to scroll through the kind of stuff I am seeing.  I have asked that a new tool be installed where I can ban people from a topic.  In the future, if I see this kind of behavior, I will use that tool.  If I see this moving to a different thread, I will use the point system to restrict the posting on the forum for those involved.  I am not opposed to having one nonsense thread in comics general, where it is ok to post whatever you want.  Other than that, this stops now, or I will make it stop. 

Here are 2 rules listed in the terms of use.

A notice, warning or violation may be issued to a user if he/she violates the rules with any of the following behaviors:

 15.   Particularly excessive off-topic posting.

16.   Spamming the Boards with repeated or similar posts.

Why not create an Official thread?

I did

Then was chastised for it not being comic related

I'm a little worried @CGC Mike

About @DR.X threads and holiday raffle threads and Christmas threads?

I mean I get 3-30 pages of drivel, I find it annoying that's why I stopped, but either people are taking this thread too seriously (as am I) or needs clarification. 

Merry Christmas ☃️🎄

I’ve tried multiple times and poof they’re gone

 

But now @CGC Mike can just create one

In my case, I was chastised by the people of who this thread was created. 

This is irony

 I hope those of thin skin don't get caught up in the carpet bombing. 

Or, maybe I do..., 🤞

They seem more likely to sustain injuries, certainly.

This is ridiculous. Just ridiculous. Who is to determine what is off topic? Give it a rest.
