Why mega threads always be kept open

[Agbe]

Op when you notice sush and you know that the main question nod the thread has been answered then you can report the thread to be locked 🔐. There are sometimes the Op of the thread might not aware or the Op want other people to make an input on the topic at hand. And there are some thread that is not good to be locked because they are seasonal. And such mega threads like Premier League, La Liga and African Nations Cup etc. Even after the tournament at the moment there is another season coming up again every year so there is no need to lock those threads because people would be discussing till the other season begins.

Mega threads kept open for long time, in this gambling discussion and the main gambling section I do see a thread that from the first to ten pages all the discussion answers has been given but that thread continues moving whereas all the questions been asked in the thread majority has answered it, why mega thread in gambling section, when you calm down and read some of the trading style or method you can see that some points made us is not longer in line with the aim of the thread.

Some of our discussions and points in mega thread is pointless, does it not good to have a limitations of pages in a thread and immediately the thread get to its limit page it can be lock, so that everyone have it in mind, instead of spamming and be writing in some of the thread that is up to twenty to thirty [20-30] pages, [Observation] Their is some certain things that is not suppose to discuss in thread because people have already said those points,  but base on the thread is still on and they continue to spam, some persons discussed in one thread more than five times both knowingly and unknowingly, so it's good for we to abolish some mega threads depends on the subject.

Actually, there are some types of mega thread, like- One person ask something to the community to know or learn. On the others hand there are also some mega thread like discussion about the sports update and predictions, and here also included the Gambling site ANN thread, Also Wall Observer BTC/USD .
The examples of the types of mega threads that I have given above can be divided into two parts, for example, in one there is nothing like giving any new updates, just the previous discussion is constantly being repeated like spamming and in the other there are things like giving updates and those threads are constantly The discussion is going away. We cannot call them spam. But topics or threads in which old words are repeated again and again can be caught in the queue of spam, I often report such topics to the moderator.

I guess many of us here are guilty of this discussion about gambling problems and issues but sometimes it happens because of the many active posters here in the discussion you know that you have something to say about the subject and you cannot read the entire discussions to see if what you're going to post is already here so you just dropped your opinion.
If you think that the topic becomes redundant you can ask the creator of the thread or moderator to lock the thread, but you can not ask the topic to the locked if the topic happens to be sporting events like boxing, or football, because the topic is a discussion what's happening on the event, sporting events discussions are dynamic, there's always something new that will pop up on that event, leading to further discussion if you are not participating on this kind of discussion you will wonder why the topic is that long or has become a mega thread but for participants the best part of the discussion is still coming.

Some of our discussions and points in mega thread is pointless...

I agree. But there is an explanation for that. Many people who comment do not gamble and they fill the pages with unnecessary comments, and every day new people come who want to be informed more but are too lazy to read dozens/hundreds of pages, so they ask the same questions over and over again, and of course, they get the same new/old answers again.

Another reason is that some mega threads are simply long-term threads! Some threads follow certain sports leagues for years, and it's normal to see these threads getting everyday attention.

[Davidvictorson]

Many signature campaign managers hate mega threads because most of them after a certain page are just field with spams and no-sense replies. There are those users who are late to the party and still feel they have a very important thing to add to it and so they make their contribution.

You could write the moderators about this whenever you come across a mega thread, request that they lock the thread to prevent spamming. Further, if you can also write the OP and ask after giving them good reasons for the thread to be lock if there is a delay from the moderators.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Mega threads usually end up being feed on by trolls, and just as Cantsay has said, in the past it has been suggested that campaign managers should not consider posts made on Mega threads, which have already been adopted by some managers. Some people comment on mega threads just for the sake of completing the weekly post count. If it was in the past when I come across a mega thread and read through the comments, I usually find a lot of shit posts to report and also correct so many misconceptions.

What I will suggest is that if you come across any mage thread that serves its purpose already but is still open for trolling, report the topic to the moderator and suggest it be locked.

[Weawant]

Mega threads sometimes are not there because they want people to Spam but you should understand that if a thread remains open there will always be a contribution someone out there will want to add to the thread and so the ideas remain unending because the thread is open.

The response given on a thread isn't all the time about what was exactly the reason such thread was started but then it's mostly that they may be responding to some other persons idea on the thread and it's nothing wrong with it and that's why until the thread is locked, there's always something to talk about on such threads, just like the thread of major football leagues and sports that are been discussed, there's always a respoy to what people have said they may sometimes be outside the main topic of discussion

Some mega threads are kept open because the discussions in them are continuous and not ending.

Some mega threads are kept open because maybe the question asked by OP has not been well answered.

Some mega threads are still open because the people who started them have forgotten to revisit the topic they started, so the topic is left open to spammers.

The reasons are numerous.

[SatoPrincess]

Some of those mega threads are continuous topics, it would be counterproductive to lock them because more threads will be created in its place. I suggest you report those threads, if the report remains unhandled, you can send a PM to the OP to lock the thread. It’s more easier for moderators if the topic has a question that has been answered in the first 1-5 pages, locking the thread at this point is not a bad thing as the OP should have gotten his answer.

[wheelz1200]

Agreed for the most part the answers have been had but sometimes the thread migrates into a different topic that's where I think it should be closed if it goes off the rails.  Generally speaking it's tough to moderate just because an answer was made on a specific thread who's idea is it that it's been satisfied other than the OP.  Message the OP of a specific thread to close it if you think it should be and they just vanished.

[robelneo]

After reading I have closed all my topics that are gambling discussion-related but not related to sports, some topics need to remain open usually sporting events because the news keeps coming and every news that comes along is content worth discussing, as long as the sporting event is not yet finished it can still go on until he final result or it can be extended to give members their views about the results, there is a lot to be discussed after the result especially if its something controversial and the topic is more interesting after the result that if the event is just coming.

Mega threads collect all the garbage post on one location. It’s really helping the forum to contain spam post rather than spread it on multiple thread that has similarities on topic.

It’s normal that some discussion will repeat since every thing that happening on gambling is just a repeated cycle. Also it doesn’t harm either a user personally unless you have the fetish to read all the post on a certain thread before you do a reply even if the thread already have many pages. If you are a regular forum user then this spam post on mega thread doesn’t bother much since you will just focus on opinion that you want to reply on that thread.

but they are not creating any good impact in the forum any longer because they are accumulating the thread with a garbage post so that does not show the quality that does not show a continuous discussion at least what we needed in a threat is to have a good suggestions in one particular thread but when you come across of all this mega thread you will see a lot of repeatable sentence and also a repeatable suggestion, I think its unfair, I know even myself respond to a thread more three times unknowingly because I have saw what I don't like or what i like in someone comment, I have no issues with the mega threads being open since every one wants it to be continued.

OP, I think mega threads are meant to be like that because from my little observations, it does not necessarily means that some of.the conversations on such thread as invalid. In most cases, some words or quoted and the replies are based on the quoted comments or replies which keeps prolonging and some of those quotes might not be inline with the sole purpose of the thread but people are reading it and quoting it and it keeps extending and so on and so forth.

I believe each thread has something to learn from. So therefore non of them is a waste  as they are educative and entertaining. But however, only the OP has the ability to lock such thread followed by moderators and that can only be done if the admin and moderators finds it unwanted on the platform.

Aren't most megathreads in the first place about a series of tournaments for a specific sport and not really about people asking questions and someone else answering them? At least, the ones that I've visited are centered on that. If it were other general threads that just keep on going, then well I guess OP just didn't give a damn anymore about what was happening or still hasn't gotten an answer he liked. More often those threads deviate to their own topic hence why it can just keep on going and going.

I'd say you can just ignore or report them to moderators if the threads just end up cycling back to the same discussion over and over. Except ofc for the sports threads, those were made to be that long in the first place. Anyone who has the same question can just reopen a new topic about it anyway if they can't find the old one on the first page of the post list.

Good question, but the thing is that it's better to have these mega-threads around and not need them than actually not have a well-established thread when we need one. Besides, the mega-threads made by most of the folks here especially for dedicated sports fans are doing their job of making sure there's no clutter of posts from other enthusiasts who wanted to talk about their sports/topic. So yeah, mega-threads will remain open until we no longer find a need for them to be.

Plus we also have to consider the fact that most of these mega-threads are self-moderated, meaning the OP got full-on liberty to whatever they wanted to do with the thread, for most of them they'd rather keep it up and moderate the thread on their own than stop the flow of conversation for the sake of "giving space to even more worthwhile topics"

Another thing about some threads is that most people think the purpose of the thread has been served, but most of the time there are others who might not have the time to read through the whole page to find the answer to their question.

They can just come to a similar thread, drop their questions, and others can answer them based on what they understand, and from there, the conversation will still continue.
 
A lot of threads with 10 pages or more might appear to have repeated comments and opinions, but if you look deep down, you can still find some meaningful feedback from members who were unable to share their thoughts the first time the thread was created.

Mega threads will always exist on the forum. I think that there are some  users who avoid posting on a thread once its page has gone past a certain number. I share in the same opinion with the OP about his  frustration with the longevity of mega threads.

It bothers me that it exist like that and that there will always be mega threads unless the moderations gets approval from the overall administrator to do something about such threads once they reach a certain point there by preventing what the OP is talking about.

However, I think that, there are some mega threads that do not fall into this category depending on the subject and discussions involved.

Moderators rarely close threads unless someone asks for it, so it's the OP's responsibility to manage it.

However, there is another problem: The number of repeated topics!
Even if a topic is closed, as soon as it disappears from the first page (TOP 20) someone opens a new topic with the same subject. In other words... perhaps it would have been better to have left the first topic open?

Some topics like Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions New
they remain open forever, and this is correct because it is a topic where the discussion never ends.

On the other hand, for example, I tend to create topics about the main Brazilian championship every year... as one championship ends I close it and open the next one.

[Reid]

Depending on the subject. If it sports discussions then they must stay because trades, injuries, coach changes, sign ups, and more are updated every day so it is necessary than gamblers must receive those news because it's a matter of the odds going up or down and their chance of winning can go slim or high.

Other threads though like questions for the rules in game or in the gambling platform must be asked on their threads so that it could be answered accurately by the their managers who are keeping the threads updated in this forum.

I understand the frustration but it's also the fault of OP if he is not locking his topic and it's not self moderated.

[yahoo62278]

Some megathreads are not worthless as far as the different leagues for soccer or the NBA thread and some cricket leagues as well. Those threads are busier during their respective seasons and people are always discussing what's going on in the leagues.

I think if a megathread is useless, report it and see if a moderator agrees.
