Feedback: "***OFFICIAL***" threads getting out of hand (unofficially)

[CyFan61]

Anybody else feel this way? Just bothers me. Seems like people make them to replace other existing threads, too, which is pointless.

I'm not necessarily saying they should all go away, but can anything be done about this before we have ten ***OFFICIAL*** threads in a row? We are getting to the point where we will have an ***OFFICIAL Spring Football Long Snapper Discussion*** thread and others like it.

Where is the like button or RT button? I agree 100%.

Yeah it's not necessary. I don't mind it for the game day threads but there's too many. It doesn't bother me a whole lot though.

Fun haters.

This thread is not official. It is about the "***OFFICIAL***" thread epidemic. You misinterpreted the title.

Then how will we know if a thread is official?

It says official. I see asterisks. It's official.

I disagree. Now, I no longer spend countless hours trying wade through the unofficial threads. I can go straight to the official ones. No muss, no fuss.

Everyone who wants to make a new thread should create a new thread asking CyFan61 if it's ok.

I like them personally. they should be for events only.

Examples: Games, Press Conferences, etc

So if this thread isn't official, we really don't need to listen to it. Excellent.

Please direct you questions about the relevance of CyFan61's supposition to the new official thread.

Re: ***OFFICIAL*** threads getting out of hand

Is this officially official, or just official??

I'm ***Officially***confused

 

[cyhiphopp]

Re: ***OFFICIAL*** threads getting out of hand

Yeah, lets make a bunch of rules about when to use asterisks and then we can talk down to people if they use them in the incorrect setting.

Lets make these ***OFFICAL*** rules too! Make it a bannable offense.

Not so fast, my friend. The asterisks are only around the word official. For a thread to be truly *** OFFICIAL ***, the thread title must be all caps, the minimum number of asterisks must be met, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the asterisks must be on either side of the full title, not just one of the words in the title.
