follow your own advice! a thread about pointless threads is pointless. Maybe after the shard is up and running we can worry about the content of the threads. right now ............. ?

Ehm. Why would it be pointless? It has a topic which people can discuss, and they are, so I don't see why my thread would be pointless? This thread is acctually not about pointless threads if you've read it. It's about setting rules on the forum.

Well if you know that everything on the forums these days is trash, why bother reading unless you see an announcement from the staff? On the other hand, if it were currently moderated you wouldn't have anything to read (not so different from now) and those people who were being moderated would be upset.

As long the rules will take effect when the real shard gets up, I think it's fine. And if the forum were moderated, I would have something to read. Every thread isnt pointless, or with a question which already have been asked 5 times before, there are interesting threads which doesnt break the rules Taran've set up in the rules section. There would be few threads in the forum, but why would it matter when the threads which otherwise is made are totally pointless?
