[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8944550, member: 86653"] Huh. I honestly thought the point of the + thread was to not have disagreements or arguments [I]over the premise[/I]. "Turtles are awesome [+]" [I]poster jumps in and explains why turtles are terrible[/I] [I]mods step in and bounce the poster for arguing over the premise[/I] So if that's not the point of them, then what is? To not derail the thread, as you say above? That doesn't seem to be how they're used by posters or enforced by the mods. I mean...I can link to mod red text telling posters that staying on topic is a choice they get to make in a + thread. And I can link to a post from you about how posters who don't agree with the premise of a + thread should not bother posting. I'm honestly not trying to be argumentative, I'm completely confused. I get that you don't want people rules-lawyering a manual, but at this point I honestly don't know what + threads are for or how they are supposed to work. Something concrete would be incredibly helpful. [/QUOTE]
