Ask a User rules discussion

#1 July 10, 2014, 11:12:13 pm

Online

Most of you are probably familiar with the ask a user thread. Otherwise this thread really doesn't pertain to you much =p
It started as a random chat thread, then walt turned it into a spotlight thread of sorts where you ask a specific user only. This last 3 people before walt was away for a bit and it was decided that the person asking the questions should get a chance to pick the next person.

Now, to be sure this is fair for most people we should set up some rules for the thread. Throw some options on the table. I'll turn this into a poll and we'll use the results to make the rules.

I'm for there being a more user specific time frame. Give it 2 or 3 days from the time they get picked to start asking questions. If no questions are asked then another user is picked.

And I think 7 days for a cap is fine.

I also think picking someone that has already had a turn should be fine but I don't know how long it should be since the last time.

I think there should be a limit to how many times a person is allowed to ask questions from one user. Most of the questions XGargoyle answered were from Saohc, and they were pretty terrible questions.

Christmas isn't about getting into clubs, Zorak!

I think it should last 3 days (if the person hasn't logged in by then to answer anything, give it a full week and then move on); no one who's previously been selected should be picked again (we can revist this way down the line), and the last person picked should pick the next person.

Quickest way to kill a fun thread is making rules.

2-3 days is fine. there should be no limit to how many questions a user can ask. if xgargoyle wants to answer chaos's 50 average questions then that's his decision

Does this looks like the face of mercy?

but if the time is too short it might not give some people time to ask what they want as in

"oh man i was busy and missed the chance to ask [E] what it feels to grope a middle schooler's butt in a crowded train"

which would be worst because:

Jmorphman said, July 10, 2014, 11:17:56 pm

no one who's previously been selected should be picked again

how about instead make it as "someone who has been previously selected cannot be picked again in a certain period of time"

acting as if asking people stuff is "educating" yourself or some sort of scientific analysis will always be met with derision because it is a ridiculous statement.
you dont "analyse" people, you socialize with them.

how about people just a single question per post, and no double post

imagine if you meet someone in person and want to ask something, it would also be one question at a time.

I lack discipline.

I think what Titiln suggested sounds the best imo. No one's obligated to answer the questions. So if anyone is annoying you, just ignore said questions. 7 days sounds like a long time to be getting asked questions. 3 days sounds like a nice middle point for it all. I suppose with a few extra grace period days, in the sense of if said user isn't active at the time. Once 5-7 days have passed, and said user hasn't responded, it's on to the next one.

it's weird that this is a thing when there should really be no rules to pertain to a recreational thread idk man

i also think if the person gets tired of asking questions they should just pass the baton like usual, idk man

i cant count the reasons i should stay

You should've taken your complaints about Luigi1632 to a different thread, something feedback to warnings or something.

...But I actually agree with you, the guy is a real mood killer. Every single one of his posts feels like an attempt to cast some spotlight on himself. Hey look guys, my novel! Look, I'm a programmer! Look, I don't have a job! talk about me!

JNP is just pretending to keep the forum in order by applying laws to a thread that doesn't really need it (maybe some guidelines at most)

all while distracting us from more serious issues like iced using guild donations money to build a giant pool in his house and discord man using his position to meet famous people like ‎john de lancie or paul mcgann to name a few

Well the guidelines thing is what I really wanted to do with it. Basically just pass the thread to someone else when you are ready but please don't hold it more than 7 days.

I do feel that at the least Jango and Titiln should be able to pick again because they didn't get to choose (before we had that idea) and still be under the guideline I described.

I haven't seen Saohc shoe horning spotlight onto himself too much in any threads that matter. In the thread at hand the person being adked can refuse to answer or tell him to chill out. I saw 1 post in random about him getting his license. I may be missing some posts but I think you're being a bit harsh on his random chatter.

If I am missing posts were he is becoming a legit issue then yes, post them in an area where they can be addressed.

Added a link to this thread in the 1st post of the ask a user thread.

We should probably make a more uniform decision on what to do if someone vanishes and/or doesn't choose another person.

On this one I just had users list names of people and those names would get drawn from to see who got to answer questions next. Some people listed users that wouldn't be very viable choices because they are not here(no i didn't add winane to the list E) or they simply do not understand english enough (yes rednavi, I even listed that guy and was scared to death he'd get picked

)

Maybe next time I just let users post their own names unless they have already had a turn?

Suggestions? It can't be anything that takes a long time.

Yeah that could work, although a different name raffle for every single occurrence wouldn't make sense. It would also make sure I never get picked, heh heh.

I left my heart at home.

You could gather a group of users that want to be included maybe by tallying up a total of people that want to participate/be asked, and have them dated so they know when their time will be/when their time to be around is maybe have it last 1-2 days. If for any reason they're unable to participate on said date they can get a 1-2 day period before moving on to the next person, but they can be kept in the rotation and referred back to immediately after the current users date ends.

Re: Ask a User rules discussion

#39 August 26, 2014, 05:43:59 pm

here's an easier solution: the chosen user has to name the next user before their time is up. it should be one of the first things they do. then the thread changes to that user when the three days are up
