That's the thing - I can't define productive because the inspiration for a video might come from the dumbest of theads. A thread about "Who is your favourite anime villian" could inspire an amv on that theme for all I know. Given the permission to just remove thread "because I think they are dumb" could be open to abuse. Generally moderation happens through rules.

The way we used to decide if something was OT, WOT or AAM was this: If the thread was a discussion (Do you think this, what do you think about that...) then it was OT, if it wasn't something to discuss (Here's a funny pic, this dog is a homo) then it was WOT, if it was self-centred (check out my website, why do I pee green) then it was AAM.

I guess what could be done is to say that General Anime is for discussion, not for polls and hence remove the "favourite" and "which is best/worst/etc" threads... if that's what people want then that can easily become a rule but I for one would like to hear other people's views on this issue.

So, should General Anime have all "what/who is your fave" and "what/who is the best" threads removed?

Delete OT, and they fall back to General Anime. Assimilate entire worlds, and they fall back to General AMV. The line must be drawn here, no further!

I mean, you didn't think this development was... ....predictable?

Yes, they rarely stay on track and are of little true value.

Why not just weed out the useless threads and keep the relevant ones. Though as Absolute said it depends. But quite frankly, GA works to keep some of the new people interested, I say leave it. Mod it if you want but leave it all the same.

This forum is for the general discussion of anime

Quit being a dweeb EC

If you don't like what's posted there then make a new thread. Simple. And I agree with Oto, why not just make some general stickies, or you could go a step further and make a rule where you have a thread for each anime and let people reply to those, like another forum I visit. Then just mod out the rest when they become irrelevant.

I don't see what the problem is
