- Post subject: Another one of my threads locked.
|

Well, I see another one of my threads is locked. I have no idea why. It was off topic, and I posted it on lounge, which is for off-topic. It is beyond me why anyone would want to lock a thread that was for posting videos that put people in a good mood. If anything, I think something like is needed these days. It wasn't even given a chance.

We have plenty of "here's another youtube video" threads here. Trying to keep the number of those down. We currently have at least six threads that are nothing more than "post a video here", not counting your new one.
We know you prefer individual songs. Please keep in mind that BEA is an albums site.

It wasn't a song thread that was locked. It was a thread for cute and / or funny videos that put people in a good mood. Just lighthearted stuff. My post on the thread was of a baby that laughed every time his mother said the word "donkey". It had nothing to do with music, that's why I posted it on the lounge board. That's where off-topic stuff goes. I can't image what the problem was with that thread.

We do? On lounge? Where are they? There's nothing like what I posted on lounge. If it was there, I wouldn't have posted it. If I've overlooked it, please tell me where it is so I can post that cute baby video, and other similar videos there.

Agree with Romanelli, the multitude of samey threads is drowning out more valuable content. Instagram might be a good place to post pictures of cute stuff. It doesn't need a dedicated thread for each type of video/picture when they are so similar and not getting replies from other users.

Well, please show me those similar threads on lounge. I haven't seen them.

To (hopefully) clarify for you. Once again, and for the final time.
"We have plenty of "here's another youtube video" threads here."
ON BEA.
Again. We have enough threads that are nothing more than dumping grounds for youtube videos. We don't need more just because you feel like posting something cute. As stated above: there are other sites that are better suited for that.
Thank you.

So you say. But I don't see any of those on the lounge board. You should have no problem showing them to me if you have plenty of them. I'm going to drop this topic now, but you should be able to see why I'm questioning you about this when I've never seen any of those kind of threads on the lounge board. If there were so many of them, surely, I would have seen at least one of them.

It doesn't matter which subforum they're posted in. Even if it did, the "Lounge" would be the worst possible place for threads to post "cute" or "uplifting" videos, because in a real lounge, like what you'd find in an airport or hospital, there would already be a TV mounted on the wall and blaring whatever the staff thinks you want to see, or whatever the local real estate companies bribe them to put on. Sure, you can get up and turn off the TV, or (if they've disabled the off-switch) pull the plug, assuming you can even reach the plug. But then, other people in the lounge will freak out and stare at you (assuming they don't applaud you, which is what I would do) and make you feel extremely uncomfortable. And then the staff are just going to turn the thing back on anyway, possibly while you're still standing there feeling awkward because of all the people STARING. AT. YOU! Is this really the sort of thing you want? Everyone staring at you, like you're some sort of crazy person, when all you really want is some peace and quiet so you can think? Or maybe you don't want to think, in which case maybe what you really need is a sensory-deprivation tank, like they used in the movie Altered States to turn William Hurt into a ravenous gorilla. Maybe that's what you want, for everyone to be turned into ravenous gorillas? No thanks!
I guess maybe being turned into a cute chimpanzee or rhesus monkey might be okay, but you'd need a whole new wardrobe.
