Okay, a couple of questions ji.
Appreciation Threads:
1. Who is allowed to post in them and who is not allowed? I mean is anyone allowed to or are they supposed to be a member first and then regularly post? I just browsed over some posts, and the only thing that I see is that fans of A in fans of B and just arguing. What is the purpose of ATs? From my understanding, is it not for fans who like the actor in question
only? If so, is there a certain rule or procedure or whatever that says that only members of the AT are allowed to post?
2. Is random chatting allowed in an AT? Personally, I think it should be allowed to a certain degree b/c most of them only meet in the AT. Or is an AT only meant to appreciate the said actor alone? Kinda gets tiring na? lol However, if random chatting is not allowed, perhaps you can make a chit chat topic for members to go off topic. However x2, this forum s clearly divided b/ various fan groups and trying to confine them into a single chat topic won't suffice IMO. Taking that into consideration, maybe ATs should be allowed some random chatting-you can obviously put a limit to it b/c the main point of AT is to appreciate the actor. I just think it'll cause less of a hassle for both sides ji-the mods and members.
I mean not everyone visits CCs, or frequently, and sometimes segmentation happens; like market segmentation happens. Each forum works as a target segmentation and hence, not everything is appealing or viable to every member. I've made one section my IF home, and I don't go to any section regularly like I do with that one section. It is like my "family/friends" circle for me. So taking that into consideration, I would like to stay there only, and not digress into something that I am not familiar with. So a chit chat thread suffices in that section.
What I see here is that frankly members do not get along with each other, and it's the truth. There is no point in asking them to co-exist till some ground rules for both or triple or quadruple or whatever sides is not laid down ji. So small steps like allowing a chit chat topic/chatting in AT, and reducing the traffic in AT topics would do everyone some good ji.
Sigh, this is getting way too long. Hope it made sense...if it didn't well I'm sorry for you and my fingers lol
EDIT
Oopsie...there is a chit chat corner lol....Well that is certainly not helping this section so maybe "restricted" chatting in ATs?π³
