STOP AMA!

Ok, so recently I have been seeing many posts that are titled Ask me anything(AMA)! Personally, I think that these posts are very unnecessary considering that most of them say "Please no minecraft questions".

I believe these posts belong on a different website and serve no purpose to the minecraft community, and should be stopped before the entire forums are filled with them. So I think that there should be a rule that states that posts that don't have anything to do with minecraft will be taken down or locked.

So please moderators consider that this is a minecraft site, and that this is an issue with the forums. Not just because this is very unnecessary, but because these posts have nothing to do with minecraft.

Thank you for your time. -lkw2000

What is the point of this Thread? At the end of the day, there will still be AMA and AMAA threads, so there is no point to this thread.

Well if you bothered to read the rest of the posts you would see that hopefully the staff will make people do that crap in the Forum Games area.

I agree with those that say to ignore it. However...

People need to put new spins on their AMAAs. Each and every one of them needs to be unique, not just by the questions asked and how they're answered.

That's just my opinion, and I don't think that this change is vital, but I think it would help.

Me and a few other staff members have actually contemplated moving them to the forum games area so they don't clog the latest 20 posts. This is still being talked about off and on however.

This is a Minecraft site, so people are not allowed to post things that do not relate to Minecraft.
Unless they are in the forum called "General Discussion" where people are allowed to post things that are non-Minecraft. Just ignore these threads, they don't hurt you. MinecraftForum has some forums for people to talk about stuff that is non-minecraft related, and so do some other sites. (Minecraft sites or not)

AMA threads may be useless, but so are some other threads, and so your argument is invalid.

Then can it be stopped from showing up in the Last 20 posts box? It's mindless clatter that pushes down other things that people would rather see.

I think they need to make a seperate forum for that stupidity if they are going to allow it. I hate seeing 5 AMA posts in a row in the forum box in the right corner. That shit is annoying.

(Hi, I'm new to this thread. Please excuse me just barging in here with my little old opinion. Just gonna throw it out there, have fun.)

I agree with the about 5 other people saying "Just ignore it!" If you just ignored it, you wouldn't be having a problem. You're creating the problem yourself by reading them or paying attention to them.

"They serve no purpose and are Useless"......??? Yeah I like that, people have to have some sort of socialization in something non-minecraft related, what do you expect us to talk about, What ores we found today?


I completely agree. General discussion isn't going anywhere.

lkw2000So I think that there should be a rule that states that posts that don't have anything to do with minecraft will be taken down or locked.


This is a horrible idea. I don't think we'll just remove the entire everything else section from the site.

If you don't like it, ignore it. I have to do it with a lot of things on this site.


that was just an idea, i'm just saying that this is a minecraft site, not a place where you should discuss relationships(these are in the forums also) or AMA . And anything else non minecraft.


It's still a terrible idea. It's a chat website, if it was just minecraft then people wouldn't post as much, and people wouldn't come on so much too. Notice how the 'last 20 posts section' is usually filled up with non - minecraft related stuff.

Nothing is going to happen to AMA threads - this coming from someone who utterly utterly hates 'ask me anefing lolz' threads.

Also, I can't help but notice how this thread has turned into 'lets post the most gifs, lol' which, while I'm sure is wonderfully fun, happens to be disgustingly off-topic and thus will cease.

Moved from Discussion to General Discussion.. because Discussion is for Minecraft.
oh how the tables have turned

That way they stay out of normal places, and go into there own section where people WANT to see them.

The same could be said about a lot of things and people in this world, but we can't just get rid of them. Furthermore I feel the need to point out further that these "AMAs" are posted in General Discussion which description clearly says
"Anything that isn't Minecraft-related or doesn't go anywhere above goes here. "

Soooo shut up :/
P.S. nobody said you have to click on them, just ignore them if you hate them so much

I do agree, they are getting over populated. (It's like how bad "who's my twin" is/was on chicken smoothie, twins- who's my twins every where)
Any how, I do agree with most of these people; "people should be able to post what they want, such as AMA." But about that, every page I go on the forum updates are 90% 'AMA', if not 95%. Yeah cool i asked you some thing you answered we're spamming the same damned questions and topics as every one else lets not forget we want to make buddies who know/play minecraft, so at the least we could find out your favorite mob? But as always "well this that and these also this stupid offensive word" is the common reply when bringing up some thing over used/done and popular.
So lets deal with these spam topics that is turning the forums into a pure 'AMA' and have these minecraft things on the side lines for a little while, if it gets worse cause a uproar; if it stays steady bring up time to time; if it clears up, well just shut up. Sadly these started recently...expect these to last atleast a month or two.
