Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Actually, yes, it was called for. All of those topics is a common type that's listed in the sticky, which is more like personal input that's more suited for a journal. Talking about a Gaia user is also not allowed. Putting spoonfed questions in the topic doesn't validate any topic like those to be in the GCD. Spoonfeeding isn't even really a requirement. People just do it because it's a fad or don't really know how to end the topic/are good at making discussion topics.

Let's say you make a topic about Gambino being in a potato chip. People would come in and say "lol" or "that's cool" and not actually discuss anything about Gaia or the Community. Just chatting. So it would be box'd.

I don't know about the stalking part. They usually go around sending topics to the CB if there's a large influx, and it helps if Gaians are around reporting those kinds of topics. It's ok, don't get worked up. It happens to everybody, just take it as a learning experience on making discussion topics. xD

You don't think the first topic was plausible? People post things like that ALL THE TIME.

The first topic seems like a personal topic. Like someone would make a topic saying "Oh, I forgot about pants day. Discuss: Anyone else forget it?"

Maybe it was first reported and the others didn't. Who knows, mods can't be everywhere. XD

I know I've got topics of mine removed, and my mod friends removed them. I didn't take it personally, they were just doing their jobs.

All right, well, thanks for your input, Nanao appreciated it. ^^

No problem. The GCD's pretty fickle.

I have never ever made topics myself with spoonfed questions in them. Just try making topics without spoons and ask yourself, "Is this topic good enough to promote discussion without spoons guiding people?" And if so, then it's good enough, as long as you don't talk about yourself too much/promote others to talk about themselves too much. :B
