The AMA Trend

[fladdermasken]

Hello, people.

The recent AMA trend is nice and all, but is spiraling a bit out of control. In a way it breaches §6 of the site rules. Instead of closing it all down, I have moved most of them to SE, and will enforce that in the future too.

The difference between the recent ones and the earlier ones (which have been left in OT), i.e. Ash's http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/off-topic-478/ask-psychologist-anything-276585/ and Squiggy's http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/off-topic-478/ask-fansubber-almost-anything-278081/, is that the latter have clear intended purposes beyond Q&A socializing.

Just letting you know why this has been done so there's no confusion. I will add a line to the Off-Topic rules about this.

Regards,
fladdermasken

Just so.

Thank you.

So much for my intended "ask me something and I will reply with all honesty and seriousness".
And it started all so well. Thanks @all who fucked it up, seriously.

I'd ask you to close my thread then, I don't want to get SE crap.

Done.

So true.

For not-so-serious questions, leading to no consequences, I believe the Magic 8ball thread fits.


Regarding who opens such threads : please ask yourselves who they are, what their age is, since when they joined the Hive, what feelings they have already expressed in other threads, and from there connect all the dots together. Ah, and properly read the respective OPs of such threads, too.

And no, their motive is not to get quick fame imho.


@fladdermasken : sensible decision here.

Also, when in doubt, just assume that everyone is an asshole. You will be right in at least 50% of cases.

 

[Roland]

We're all assholes.. Even animals are assholes.

Closed because the thread has served its purpose.
