    These word/sentence games have been growing in popularity recently, with new game threads popping up nearly daily. Now, I know these are for fun, but, they're becoming an easy and low-key way to boost messages. All you need to do is make a thread called "One word game" or something, then reply after someone joins in and ta-da, you have 20+ more messages that are just one worded replies to your game.

    I know this will probably get a lot of dislikes but whatever. I'm suggesting a new forums section for thread games. Off-topic is being flooded with word games, and I think it'd be convenient for the players who want to post other threads in that off topic section. I would ask for something like, "Make it so this new section can't boost your messages." But that seems like a bit too much to ask. A new thread topic section would be very helpful in a number of ways;
    * Wouldn't flood off-topic.
    * Will be easier for thread game players to find game threads to try out.
    * Will be more organized than before.

    If a new thread section is too much to ask for, maybe a prefix or something that says "Game".

    Maybe we could have more specific sub sections inside of one section?

    Do people care that much about their message count? I prefer a decent message to positive ratio.

    You have to give it to Saskia.
    Jawed was like complaining without action while Saskia took some action about it (after complaining).

    Ask Jawed lmao. She's been ranting about it for some time now. I think she has this impression that others are only interested in the ranks.

    she never claimed credit, so it's not 'making it her own'. i'm glad she actually made a thread, like @Dylan said, Jawed and i were just complaining and she actually decided to make a thread.
    i agree but some people do care about it.

    It's actually not too hard to make it do posts don't count. There is a XenForo add-on for it.

    It doesn't freaking matter, it's a number on your profile.

    I think people are just posting these games because there's nothing else to discuss on the forums with Minetime being offline. When Minetime comes online I'm sure these game threads will disappear.

    true but imo the main point of this is to make a new sub-section or something so it doesn't flood off-topic

    as i've said numerous times, i think this is more about not flooding off-topic rather than message count

    Plus I want actual off topic stuff in the off topic section. Not spam forum games.
