A question: Who'll decide what's useless and what's not? YOU? Hahaha... See, there are several points of seeing a thing, you shouldn't be so radical. You know what happens by doing something like openning a thread to complain about other threads: You get attention to something you consider useless, so why don't you just let it be forgotten?

You are overreacting...

I also believe removing "useless" threads do not give any kind of increase to the amount of "useful" threads. People just get offended, if the jokes they have composed whole day are deleted. Let's just ignore them, or enjoy them!  If there's something violating site rules, that's an another issue. (IMHO, nearly forgot that)

I would like to know who decides what is "useless" and what not. should there be a poll on threads, and would a two third or even a 75% majority of agreement be necessary for a thread to be branded "useless"? the point I want to make is that what may seem useless to one may not be useless for someone else. while I certainly understand some posts are in questionable taste and shouild perhaps not be subject of discussion, at least not in this forum, it is also very difficult to draw the line. I am generally of a rather permissive nature, but I certainly would not be pleased if, for example, someone advocated "rape" in here

Long Live To Useless Threads!!!!!!
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Ok... The forum is FLOODED with useless threads and polls. Some are sick and offencive. It was fun for a while, but this is just crossing the line. I think it's a good idea to close most, if not all, of them.
