#1  What's acceptable? Alright, I've noticed that several threads were closed because of Leeza's opinion of whether they're appropriate or not. I'll just talk about her latest closure. The "Post a picture of your crotch." Of course, it means something similar to Bleys' Crotch, which is basically the "crotch shot" of your pants. I saw that thread to have some humor potential, yet, Leeza closed it because it's "garbage" or something. Now, it's pretty harmless fun to post pictures of your pants... yet, is it really unacceptable? Have EoFF gone too strict with the kind of threads that are acceptable? Edit: I can agree with some of the threads getting closed, but there are also several which I find very questionable. Anyway, what kind of threads are acceptable? Why is posting pictures of your "crotch" or pants, unacceptable? It's not hurting anything, and the thread should have stayed open. However, unless someone took the thread title seriously, and got banned posting their privates, then it could be closed, picture removed, and/or thread trashed into Garbage. And... I said I wouldn't do anything about this to Leeza, but seeing it's sort of related, one of my threads about a dog humping a pikachu doll. Leeza PMed me to inform me that she trashed it into Garbage, because it's "garbage". However, just because it's "garbage" does it mean that it should be thrown into Garbage. From my knowledge as a former staff, isn't the Garbage's purpose to save threads from people who posted "porn" to save their IPs and whatnot? But I digress, I know this will do nothing, but I can't believe the threads that are getting closed because it's "garbage" and "affecting" EoFF, as if it'll bring EoFF down to that level of "pure garbage". |

| Administrator  | Proto, you've been on Staff long enough to know the answers to all of these questions and the reason that I'm closing them all is because the level of threads getting started in GC is getting pretty sad. If those stay open all it does is encourage more of the same. |

| Former Staff | I'm not suggesting the threads stay open forever. It's just that closing them early is pretty lousy. Let the thread stay open for awhile, if it gets to the line of decency, where it's almost clear that it's not going to be decent, then it could be closed. However, that's my suggestion, and I'm not going to say you should start doing so. I would like it if you did, but yeah. Not every thread you close is clearly close-worthy. My pikachu-humping dog thread? I didn't think that was meant to be closed. I never did. I thought it was funny, and I wanted to share it. It's only a dog humping a stuffed doll. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not explicit. |

| Former Staff  | Eh, this is one potentially-controversial issue I couldn't care less about. I do agree with Leeza about the poor state of GC, but I think it's better than it has been in the past. I do, however, think a thread should be left opened or closed on its own merits - not on the state of the threads around it. Even with that, I can't argue the closing of the Post your Crotch thread. It definitely had a very high potential of getting out of line, and it's not like it was original(like the old "Scan your Hand" and "Scan your Frisbee!" threads). Plus, how amusing is it to look at several dozen pictures of the front of jeans(this would be my biggest reason for agreeing to close it)? Still, I can see Proto's point about closing threads early. Isn't it better to close threads when they've gotten out of line, rather than merely having the potential to do so? |
