You're saying that there is nothing between "should be moderated" and "should not be moderated" and you won't complain about anything that does not fall into the "should be moderated" column?  Interesting.  

No.

When you say someone should collect all their posts about a certain subject in one single thread and then tell a moderator that separate threads bring the forum to a lower level, it's certainly an implicit request that a certain member's thread creation rights should be limited (which is moderation, even if there are no conventional warnings and bans handed out; it's essentially a ban of certain threads for a certain member). If you then try to twist your way out by saying that you haven't been asking for moderation in order to not have agree with me on something, then you shouldn't have made those posts to begin with.

No.

When you have a community where 50% of the users communicate through threads rather than posts you have an incredibly boring front page that doesn't do anything to attract new users. It doesn't matter if it's several No Man's Sky threads or several Zelda threads on the front page. Both instances limit the variety and diversity in the amount of interests being expressed.

The post below is from the latest Zelda thread. The thread only has 6 posts from 3 different users. Even with such low activity 1 of these 3 users expresses the need to make yet another Zelda thread. Should this be moderated? Not necessarily. But you should be allowed to question why many of these threads aren't merged. This way we wouldn't have such a boring front page scaring potential new users away. Personally, I'd much rather still have eg. the Halo Wars 2 thread on the front page than so many similar eg. Zelda threads with only a handful of comments in each.

Just saw the video (cant hear anything, I'm at school). I need to make a BotW thread.

 

Please don't try to make this seem like pokoko (and others) want certain users and opinions moderated. Threads are closed all the time on VGC when there are already similar threads or existing threads suited for the content. In this case several NMS review threads are allowed even though we have a dedicated thread for all NMS reviews and that is actually an exception.

Being a long time user you ought to know this. Please refrain from acting like some users are being oppressed and trying to demonize others. It doesn't suit you.
