It has recently came to my attention that it has been, around 1 year since I made my previous suggestion about this idea and the current community seems too push the same ideals now so I hope it works out :D.

The personal board is plagued with one major problem, The over-saturation of threads that are extremely similar or the exact same, in every other boards community moderators, people who take the role of sage-ing or bump-ing actively to help the community even if they have no power, often sage threads that have similar topic and that type of stuff, I proposed that we should push for a more similar system on the personal board, general threads for certain things that keep re-occurring, I have been a member for around... 3 years at this stage and I have seem countless amounts of suicide and relationship threads, the original arguement to what I said back then was that they arent all the same and they have diffrent minds and are diffrent people... Looking back that was absurd, the point of the genrel threads would be so those people can post and get responses quicker, since their threads wouldn't be out-bumped as fast. I hope anybody who reads this eithr agrees and will support me or if you disagre please bring up why, I love civil discussion :D, just keep it civil tho haha,

“The over-saturation of threads that are extremely similar” you mean too many people are having the same problems? Being on this board for 8 months there is a major problem with confidence. If I have to give the same advice to many of people I will. This board is for problems people may be feeling and, if many people have the same problem then it needs to be solved. There is no reason to “clean up” these post.

To sage a post because it is similar is “absurd.” If you want to clean up a board, this is not the one. If people have the same problems. Why shouldn’t we help all of them improve themselves?

>>3 This is the policy that all other boards do? I'm talking about making "general" threads that are a place where people can post their problems, just not so spread out, that way they can also read other adivce as well, if you think its absurd to do something like that, go pick a fight FindMuck, or firion,

This is a board to search for advice, reading something similar to there problems is NOT direct. Direct support can sometimes be the best type of support. Just reading advice directed at other people doesn’t help them with there problem, no matter how similar it may be.

“I love civil discussion” “go pick a fight FindMuck, or firion.” Don’t kid yourself your reply is far from civil discussion.

But please “just keep it civil tho haha”

>>5 I stated this as "can ALSO" I promote direct support fully, I just feel people arent getting enough help or replies since stuff gets pushed down extremely easily here, maybe just a Relationship Thread, for people to vent about how happy/bad it is, or how they have crushes and stuff, it adds more community to this slowly dying board anyway, You've been here for 8 months so you should have noticed the people who ask for help never give help themselves in other threads and often disapear after the thread gets buried,

Was my phrasing wrong? I believe this conversation has been fairly civil so far other then your off topic remark? The pick a fight line may have been a little hostile but it conveys my point, if you dislike that system then speak up to the people too enforce it on other boards! free speech brother,

Telling people to fight someone, is not civil. If that enire line was removed it would be civil.

When you give support you should Never expect anything in return. If someone chooses to leave after there problem is resolved, that’s there choice.

Also bringing others into a conversation is not needed. Findmuck and the other had nothing to do with this.

Also “of topic remark” what are you referring to.

>>12 Pardon the late response, starting from bottom to top, the "of topic remark" was a misspell saying that >>6-7 was off topic and not needed for the convosation
>>11 Once again that is what could be brought about, it is purely speculative, I just dislike people being pushed off because the board is busy,
and finally, you misunderstand what I mean by fight somebody, I mean it in an exaggerated way, when you say "I've been around the moon and back" you arent actually doing said thing, I meant it as a statement saying to discuss them, also it does involve them to a certain degree, I'm using their names since their more active them the people I know better personally,On the random and main board they actively sage threads and direct people to other threads, for example no need for 2 threads about BTS in random, or random questions like "how are you XD" since that can go in the random thought thread. At its base form THAT IS how modern day dollars operates, and it works really well, it keeps chat clean, that idea should be pushed for personal, I've had over a year to think about this opinion and I have it solidified,

Personal board hasn’t had anyone saying stuff like hi how are you

>>14 At this stage I am agitated but I shall remain calm. It is a compassion, a comparison between average posts on random that get treated a certain way, for this it would be "I'm suicidal", I do not mean that in a mocking way its just the truth, a general depression thread would be good in my opinion

I feel making specific threads for specific problems, removes the direct appeal to that certain person. If you direct someone who needs help to a thread they won’t feel as good, as if you were to just let them make a separate thread for your specific problem. Trust me I have been doing support for many years across many platforms and, in real life. Better results have always come from threads that were separated.

The personal board has worked well up to now, I feel there is no reason to change how this specific board works.

Let the people create their own threads. This is pretty much one of the last boards left that is kind of active, let's not disrupt it

/sage

>>18 Why sage? Seems a bit counter-productive to say that then sage a personal thread filled with personal opinions? We dont sage peoples suicide threads because we dont think they should do it?

Don’t change on if the only active boards. It will only hurt the website in the long run.

/sage

Imagine this happens;

A:”so I have been depressed and want to end it.”

B:”please post on the depression board. /sage”

All this would cause is people to feel worse about there problem.

/sage

>>20
>>21
Starting off, one of you actually didnt sage so thanks for the bump, but whats better? "I'm gonna end it all" for all the active threads to be super bumped passed it, saging a thread and directing them to help at a diffrent board or to post at a diffrent board WOULD work, all it does is give them a space where they can say it on topic, its a system to keep away the inflation of threads, I know how the personal board works, in my old raids of 2017 the channel we first hit WAS personal because it was so easy to over-clutter threads so we couldnt be overbumped easily, its a down-side for the site. The community wont become in-active due to it, its the exact same concept as the random thought thread on random,

>>22 I don’t like you, I remember your raids. Raiding a personal board because it’s easy! You disgust me. A personal board is for people who seek help, raiding that makes you a disgusting human.

Dang, you got lots of hate reply lol. You're not even that active m8, okay into the trench.

I'm basically gonna say no, and then why.

During my first stay here, I had the same idea as you. Well it seems like it would be a good idea, but given how common unsuspecting user likes to make a new thread, the best option is to let them be. More over, this has been going since 2012. People came here to get attention & find advice. They want to be self-centered, so the thread they've created is dedicated specifically for them. The role of these adviser is to accompany these life-advice-seeker and help them get through what life has served for them.

I'll add more when necesarry

>>24 I have been told to fight you! :3 but you seem like a nice guy so, let’s jump the op.

>>24 I do see that, and it has worked but I feel its not perfect, I think what I have proposed above is better, also I am fairly active... I've been lurking for around 3-5 months maybe doing 1-2 replies a month, I like to chill reading the sports or visual novel boards since they're preeeety dead, and the sports board suffers from 0 community mods in it xd,
>>23 What were my raids then? Tell me! I dont remember your name and the way you say it makes you seem like you were their, the raid was unsuccessful, my team was banned quickly and we chose the deadest time so like 99% of the members didnt even see it, I didnt raid it as in troll the threads, I took advantage of how this place barely gets saged threads so I set up around 9-12 fake personal posts so when the day came I could bump those up, then do the porn other them, and delete the threads so all the high pop threads would be gone, it failed, It was too well planed for my team and really the dollars is just too small, I prefer discussions like this thread over raids and the such, call me a disgusting person but my raid didnt even show anything that disgusting of nature

>>25 Once again... Repeating myself one more, I did not mean fight in the literal sense, I meant it as engage in discussion since you said that the system I propose for personal is bad "Overall" that would include all the other boards, I see firion saging threads and helping the site be clean so he was an example, now jumping somebody seems extremely hostile so I'm gonna take it that way and not that maybe you mean both push your points onto me as a group, even tho its already me vs the majority, not that thats bad I like it this way, because if I ever convince one person I feel better about myself ^0^

I'm deciding to re-bump this thread because all the active people on personal seem to have disappeared, and the new ones probably didn't see this thread :D

I don't think this is necessary. This board isn't very cluttered. I might agree if more than 10 threads were made a day, but that isn't the case as long as I've been here. It looks like 3-5 threads are posted on a day.

Because of this, I think people's posts would get "outbumped" sooner on a general thread, because their OP would be lost in three posts. If they had their own thread, it stays visible forever.

I don't see a problem having individual threads for every new problem. It is working now, as far as I can see.

I agree with >>24 too. It's good to have an entire thread dedicated to one problem. Even if the same advice is useful for multiple people, it's fine to just reiterate it.

On the Main board, clutter is a big problem, and when people have the same questions, having one thread for all the answers makes sense. The questions are usually not very unique. For Personal, even if there are common characteristics or problems, there are unique factors that change the way you'd give advice.

>>28 Thanks for an actual response, I can see where you're coming from, when I came back to the dollars that week had some HUGE traffic to personal and I assumed that personal was as popular as it used to be (considering the last 3 days have passed with like 4 things being said on personal, not even 1 thread made) That was in-correct, I still think it should be pushed, but I can totally see where you're coming from.

Thanks for the nice response ^^

>>27 there is no reason to change this board. Why do you keep pushing this? The board Is good as it is.

>>30 I keep pushing it because it is my opinion.

>>31 as you said yourself in >>29 its not as popular as it once was. problems are better addressed when they are self centered. as the personal board is now, there is no reason to make a thread for specified problems. I understand its your opinion but there no reason to change this board. as it is now threads don't get trampled. some post may get ignored for a while but the good majority of post have been replied to.

Oh wow, there’s other people who use this website on the same college up Ip I do.
