AMA threads are getting ridiculous now

Scroll to see replies

They've always been ridiculous. This new subforum has taken ridiculous to a whole new level. Instead of a subforum there should be a poll with every AMA thread asking whether or not it's worth keeping open. If there are more no votes than yes then it gets deleted. Simples.

That's completely unworkable though, for a number of reasons. At least with the sub forum we don't have to sift through vast amounts of ****e in the chat forum any more. This is what Reddit says:

AMAs should be about:

•

Something uncommon that plays a central role in your life, or

•

A truly interesting and unique event.

•

Explanation and examples of this rule can be found here

All AMAs require proof.

•

Proof should be included in the text of the post when you start your AMA. If it must remain confidential, you can message it to the moderators and we can verify you.

•

See here for tips concerning proof and examples

Hard to argue with that imo. Maybe the admin can look into something similar.

I was thinking the same. TSR's AMA subforum is more like Reddit's r/casualiama. As for proof, I'd say TSR's AMAs won't require it unless the person is claiming something outrageous, like "I'm the Queen! AMA!"

Agreed mate, that's pretty much the point.

Sure there's some toss on there, but there is also a teenage cancer survivor, a sex party organiser, a quadruplet, a person still drugged from surgery and a bloke who has just defecated himself at work.

What do we have? 'I'm bored/I'm black/I can breathe' ffs.
