| So, about the What If thread... |
| << < (4/4) |
| Tengukami:
Yeah, I'm still of the opinion that cringey threads that don't break any particular rules are best dealt with by ignoring them. I'm just kinda wow about the Dream thread. |
| Drake:
Pretty sure what would happen if the Dream thread was moved to/restarted in Cafe would be that the "regulars" slowly stop posting in it and more other members post in it for a short while, until it eventually dies because people actually don't care too much about posting their random dreams and the incentive for posting "dreams" is mostly gone. |

Title of this thread confused me first but was a bump. I would prefer to see it locked now as well. Aside from my own scepticism about the 'true story' of those dreams, it became kind of a: - dump thread with hardly any interaction. - slightly creepy fictional dreams being posted. - same people keep posting over and over (dumping). The dumping part is what bothers me most. Again, just like with the 'what if' thread and such: We don't push / demand quality. We expect the community to decide a lifetime of a thread naturally. Edit: That said, it is a Touhou-related thread. It 'technically' belongs in the Addict section but a move to Cafe is a considerable suggestion if we don't lock. Curious what the other mods/admins have to say on this. |
| Tengukami:
I think it belongs in TARC, the landing pad for gleeful Touhou newcomers. Even if most of the dreams are fake and people are not interacting, it is at least not total spam. I don't get why we need to clamp down on fun that breaks no rules. |

I'm not suggesting for that thread to be closed, just for it to be moved and expanded a bit. People will still be able to post their self-insert Touhou fanfics if they want to, but now they'll also be allowed to post dreams they might actually have had, and people who don't dream about Touhou will be able to participate. And ignoring whether the stories posted on that thread are real dreams or not for a moment, dreams are still something a bit personal, and people are being mocked for posting them. Isn't that one of the main reasons why Shrinemaiden Caf? and LettyJournal are invisible to guests, to prevent or at least decrease the likelihood of that happening? Sure some silly dreams are nothing compared to posts about personal issues, buuut... To me that's where a dream thread should have been posted from the start. If I was around when the thread was originally created I would have suggested the same thing. (it was made not too long after I decided that I needed a little break from the fandom...) It's up to the people to decide if they'll continue posting there and if any newcomers will want to join. Maybe it will become a better thread, maybe it will just slowly die after a while... I think either possible outcome would be an improvement. To me simply not keeping it where everyone can see would be a good thing, even if the thread itself didn't improve a lot. |
