watcharacters Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 How many members of this forum ever post a new topic? I think over 93% of all content on this forum is a result of the forum's feeding of topics from Webfact and etc. Any member Ok to talk about this topic? Not questioning moderation or rules. Just asking a question.. In the past I recall one or more forums even delineating a members content between starting a topic and merely replying. This forum is one of mostly replying.

I think it is exponentially higher than "most". But only your barber knows the truth. 555. (sorry, very old joke) The truth will stay buried.. .

I have no idea. I found Thaivisa to be really helpful You may be correct regarding your thoughts about "weakness" as to why there are so few TVF members ever manage to post a new topic. I wish more members would just speak out. Post freely as long as it passes the censorship and rules pertaining to this forum. I'd like to hear other let loose with topics. Hello?

I disagree about members not having having the grey matter to originate a topic. Shy? Fear of abuse may be part of that but then it becomes a function of moderation. I prefer zero moderation on a forum, personally. It is, however, what it is. Edited February 16, 2018 by watcharacters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With thousands of topics in the history and dozens (hundreds?) started each day by those whose job it is to post content to draw clicks and views, there really isn't a lot that's worth starting a new topic on. Even on the new content, most topics have either been beaten to death and/or have degraded repeatedly into name calling contests, which is another reason I'm not inclined to post up a new topic unless there's something going on that I think is worth the pretty much inevitable irritation. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they'd be a lot more helpful if you didn't have one guy saying, yes- that's easy, and the next guy saying, nope- impossible, can't be done. Or that guy who responds to a question about where to buy a part for a Toyota with "Toyotas suck- always have". Or, "Does your Mom know you snuck out of the house?" And I have found that I can usually get a lot more helpful info from Google or the TVF search function than I'll ever get with a new thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dwyer Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I start a few new topics, but mainly when I want some advice.I usually try and answer any replies I get and “ reward “ the sensible ones with a like . Likewise I do post to add my experiences to other topics if relevant.There does seem to be some topics where the OP will disappear and never answer or thank the replies. These topics tend to drift off topic and end up with 2 members arguing over something completely unrelated !!Don’t get me wrong, these can be entertaining and some good fun can be had by just observing !! But frustrating for the OP if he asked where to buy celery and the topic ends up about Thai police corruption !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But frustrating for the OP if he asked where to buy celery and the topic ends up about Thai police corruption !! The problem being that the Thai celery market has been under the control of high ranking officers for some time. I should know as I have lived here for 30 years,know Thai,Khmer,Swahili and Lilliputian and live in a 'uge mansion with a gorgeous hiso wife who loves me to death... Is that the sort of digression that you may be referring to,Andrew? Edited February 18, 2018 by Odysseus123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
