Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I meant go ahead and spam away on page 2! If you use a page that's not the first one with the secret threads on them, that doesn't force people actually trying to comment on the secrets to scroll past long conversations.

Non-fandom conversations are ok and stuff, "what made you happy / what did you do today" kinds of things are fine! But when it's down to like 2-3 people replying to each other repeatedly with just gifs - just start a gif party thread on page 2 or something?

Hmmm alternatively, I could start posting the "general comments" thread at the bottom beneath the NS/NF thread. Or on page 2 to begin with.

Oh I see. I didn't realize we were allowed to start new threads.

And seriously, I really am sorry about all the threads I've been spamming in lately. I promise I do know how to use personal messaging/restrain myself from making drawn-out stupid jokes.

BUT I LIEK LAME JOKES AND GIF PARTIES SUCKER STOP YEAH START NEW THREAD ON PAGE 2 AND LINKBACK IN REPLY MAYBE STOP SORRY CAPSLOCK IS LOCKED AGAIN WILL FIX SOON BYE STOP

OMFG I WANTED TO REPLY SOMEWHERE ELSE AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS CAPSLOCK ALL OVER MY COMMENT! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN HOW DO I TURN IT OFF DID I CATCH THIS FROM YOU YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE CLEAN?!???!! ALSO WHY CAN'T I USE ANY PUNCTUATION OTHER THAN EXCLAMATION AND QUESTION MARKS?!!!?!?!?! HAAAALPPP

New threads are fine! I'm not concerned about that part, but the gen comments have been kinda exploding lately and it IS a long scroll to even get to thread 1 (not because of spam but because there are just a LOT of different threads).

I'm not really sure how to fix that yet, am thinking about it. I don't really like the "move the whole general-comments thread to page 2" idea because then people can't see them immediately. I think for now I'll just add a note to the top asking people to move individual threads to page 2 if they get really long.

Was the original intent of general comments for commenting or asking about the community/multiple secrets? Because maybe you could leave general comments up for commenting on the community, etc. and have a conversation post on page 2?

It was actually originally for OT threads, so it's generally being used as intended! Just used way MORE than expected, is the thing. And I don't mind it really, it's kinda hard to explain -

Uhhh like general comments are kind of for the whole community? Somebody asks a question and wants mass input, or wants advice, or wants to find a song or an obscure movie title or wants to post pics/vids/recs for everybody to see - that's cool. It's just when it starts turning into a long back-and-forth between just 2-3 people, it stops being a community discussion thread and becomes the thread of those two people, you know? Then those few people could migrate over to page 2.

Ah, got it. Thanks!

What if you implemented a policy where people could post the topic in the general comments but then link to the actual conversation on page two? That might work.

Ooh, I like this idea!

That would be fine too, nothing was stopping people from doing that!

^Yeah, pretty much what case said. Thanks for being such an awesome mod, btw!

Yeah, I'm sorry too case! I need to start learning to PM! Didn't mean to clog up the comm!

Er. (<that's me feeling very ashamed) Sorry, case. I apologize profusely and sincerely. I don't mean to clog up the comm with spam.

I think General Comments at the bottom of the page is a really really good idea.

I love all the GC threads but I admit I do get annoyed having to scroll so much to get to the actual secrets. But on Page 2 would be kind annoying too - so at the bottom of the page is perfect. I don't have to switch pages, I can scan General Comments and actual secrets all in one go but the longest section will be out of the way at the bottom.

And I think linking to discussions on page two is kind of a pain in the ass, but then I'm kind of lazy so.

yeah I agree, the general comments after all the secrets would make it easier maybe?
