I understand I contribute to the problem of too much liveposting in the general thread. I'm also guilty of posting responses to a stream with little to no context of what I'm referring to to people not watching the stream, so this is something I'll change. It's pretty obvious there's a reason why people like liveposting here rather than in some Discord or in the stream chat. We wouldn't be able to laugh and joke about the things we do outside of this place (Panko's
Italians aren't black bit yesterday as an example). I do agree that general gets flooded with this, though, so I agree that a liveposting general thread would be nice, while allowing Pippa's to remain as-is.
That being said it would help if someone makes "catch-up" posts in the main thread when something particularly notable happens during the streams, so people who aren't following the live threads can stay in the loop.
I think this would help a lot as well.
I vote for a general liveposting thread. If you want to post or find that kind of content for anyone currently live, you go there, and you save the main thread for things people will care about beyond the next five minutes. Then if the Invaders or any other particular streamer or group starts dominating the liveposting thread to the detriment of others, you consider splintering off a liveposting thread just for them.
I understand that back on some other web forum that I've certainly never visited everyone was posting everything in a single thread out of necessity, but we don't have those limitations here. We can create as many threads as we want when it's beneficial to do so.
I can kind of understand why people don't want so many different threads, though I don't really agree with some of the reasoning. But at the very least, I agree a general liveposting thread would help. Maybe encourage people to be a little more specific about who they're liveposting about, especially if it gets a little more confusing, and at the end, like
@Hff201 suggested, someone could post a summary in the general thread about the stream. And if something really notable happened, post it in general and maybe make a Community Happenings Post.
But to just answer the question of this thread itself and not take the idea of a general liveposting thread into account:
While I think it'll eventually slow down, I think it should be an alright idea, and if it starts slowing down, the thread could always be locked and discussions moved back into general.
