Guys, Touken Ranbu sword OCs are not supposed to be girls! by Ki no Shirayuki on 2020-12-26 00:46:28 UTC Writing Reply

If I see any more shit like this and this, my forehead's gonna crack from facepalming. Sword personifications in TouRabu canon are termed touken danshi (刀剣男士), if you're gonna make a sword OC, the least thing you can do is make said OC a guy like everybody else! If you want a female OC why not just make a saniwa or otherwise human OC? If you want sword girls why not go into Tenka Hyakken instead?

It's really nice to see enthusiasm on the Board again. by Huinesoron on 2020-12-26 08:53:41 UTC Reply

It's all felt very low-energy these past few months, so thank you. (Also, hi! I loved your intro post.)

Can I ask you, though, to read over the PPC Constitution again? These two threads would be much better combined into one (no rules against replying to yourself here), and we're child-friendly when it comes to swearing, so please try not to.

As to this complaint, I know nothing so can't really comment, except to say that 'this can't happen' is the sort of thing I take as a challenge. ;)

But can you specify what you mean by these threads?

There's about 20 threads on the front page of the Board, and as you've noticed by now, nothing gets bumped up when it's replied to. So every new thread pushes something else into oblivion.

You've posted four threads now in the top five, when reasonably, your two 'Touken Ranbu badfic' posts should have shared a single thread (this one as a reply to the other), and your 'I write slash' would have been perfect as a reply to your introduction thread - it's telling people about you.

The FAQ: The Board talks a bit about this in the 'Posting on the Board' section; you'll find it linked in the header.

Oop, realized what you meant. by Kittyauthor on 2020-12-26 16:12:28 UTC Reply

Oops. hS means the threads you created.
I'll help. by Kittyauthor on 2020-12-26 16:09:09 UTC Edited Reply

What hS means is each new topic you create on the Board that aren't attached to your main topic (your intro post). Instead of hitting the green "New Post" on the main page, hS is saying reply to your own introduction.

So, instead of spawning (creating? Is creating a better word here?) new threads and driving down old one, you are adding more discussion to an already existing thread.

It's not recommended to create new threads a lot.
