            on the one hand i feel as though your absence from these forums is a shelled victory for all ffr forumites however after careful examination of my internal feeling apparatus i have come to the conclusion that i do in fact miss your posts

              this is said a lot but no one ever qualifies it

              here, let me do it:

              any thread with a declarative sentence in the body text has potential for discussion because this is asserting something that can be evaluated as true/false

              thread with potential for discussion: "_________ [is/are] _______."

              or anything along these lines, including implied "is" statements like "I feel that...", and "is" statements implied by questions

              no potential for discussion:

              "ouch!"
              "zounds!"
              "peter piper picked a pack of pickled peppers"
              "aeoiu aeoiu aeoiu aeoiu"
              "john madden john madden john madden john madden"
              "drop it drop it low girl drop it drop it low girl"
              "ayyyyyyyyy macarena"

              etc

              this thread by top clearly does

                I never did get the reason why that was a rule....well aside from a few users who use to post one sentence at a time for 18 posts.

                Which hasn't happen since I was in college. A decade ago.

                  so many of the rules are relics from back when the average age was 15 and we had no idea what we were doing

                  I proposed to be an admin for a day just to rewrite the rules

                  but noooooooooooooo

                  I might see staff forum

                  dis vato gonna snoop on you putas and snipe your chisme, gettin super hot succcc of dikkk jaja

                  no fam, pls

                  I don't care

                  you may forget about Dre

                  you just have rules that were written with the balance and scale of Monopoly, yes as in the board game

                  shit's broken dog

                  park place? what the fuck?

                      You don't need to be an admin to rewrite rules.

                      If you have ideas, you can write them and express them here.

                        I'm not going to lie if that thread was posted in 2008 there would already be 25 pages and about 2 "technically it's..." from either eSqueek or Guido.

                          well, first, they aren't "huge". you said "discussions." if the requirement is huge discussions then very few topics, if any, on any forum fit.

                          but anyway, forums are an open discussion environment

                          so are parties; you can walk up to groups and be like "bblaaaahakhklggg" and power through their immediate disdain until you're funny enough to redeem yourself (and by "you can" I mean I do this kind of shit)

                          like parties, there are multiple conversations going on at any given time

                          this isn't a bad thing. it may be a bit disorganized but it works and people can follow at their leisure.

                          this thread is clearly a critique of modding rules and maybe practices. that much is obvious, and that's a legit thing to discuss. other than that, I don't know, but you seem to be expecting a lot. "discussion" is a low bar for entry, man.

                            Do you mind explaining how it could be better?

                              you don't need a master's in mathematics or philosophy to write professional papers in mathematics or philosophy

                              nonetheless, good luck otherwise.

                              if I suggest rules, here is what will happen:

                              1. admins look at list
                              2. admins discuss list
                              3. admins adopt like 5-10% of things
                              4. admins go back to business as usual

                              being an admin for a day makes the whole package need to be accepted at once

                              while they could certainly reverse the rule changes I made as admin too, this:

                              1. makes them change something actively instead of rejecting something passively
                              2. behavioral econ / social psych shows they are less likely to do this unless the rule is just obviously bad, so the only changes they do make will be the substantial ones
