Well... the front page is getting taken over by forum games, and people are slowing down their posting there. Even the debates get buried petty fast.
With the forum falling apart due to spam, what answers are the mods proposing? None, it appears. I feel we should ask for a fix.... Ask, and then... demand one. This forum is being taken over by 9 year olds with keyboards that love to 'change the letter', and do 'word association'.
One or two games is ok... but the front page is a clear demonstration of how broken this place is.
Edit: There you go, Fathios

@Skyfire - You should ask yourself why those predicaments are available for me to put you in. (

Oh, I pondered it for about 10 seconds. Should ask AS about it... Perhaps a new thread on the mods/admins/whoknowsits? Hmm...

I think it doesn't have anything to do with AS's thread. Maybe you are jealous of it, but that is beside the point.

Not jealous, though that's a nice little burr.

I wouldn't mind seeing this entire subsection of the forum disappear altogether, or a bigger "police-force" for removing meaningless dribble-topics like all those game-topics. Let Randomness be an "off-topic"-forum, for discussion about real life events, and not a place for immature children go spout their lovestories and their so-called self-importance.

In other news, my throat is sore and my nose is running, and I think I'm starting to get a headache. Swineflu? Hurray!

With the spam/useless topics/devolving randomness discussion, I don't feel too bad, I'm a spaz but I don't spam-- too much. Of course I play a good forum game here and there but I don't go bumping them all every other hour... not that I hate you if you do.
If someone on the wowhead staff wanted to get REALLY adventurous, they could make a seperate forum for forum games, and then keep randomness as a general discussion of non-word of warcraft topics.
Then again, it doesn't make too much sense for a world of warcraft fan site to branch out its forum network to include a forum games board just because its randomness is getting cluttered.

These. I came to wowhead to use the database at first, then I signed up. I contribute the the other forums a bit, but for me, Randomness is (actually, nowadays, was) where it's all at. All the interesting topics are being flooded by stupid posts, and forum games. I mean, it
is
randomness, but it doesn't mean I should have to dig through pages of "Rate this" or "Change that" or "Whats the best this" to find something remotely interesting...
TL;DR. Forum game sub-forum please.

Okay, I'm sorry, but this has reached stupid levels. If you don't like that a person or a group of people have a certain thread or a certain hobby, or want to waste
their
time,
their
way, you leave it the &*!@ alone, ignore them, don't try to take away however it is they want to spend (and this part is important, so pay attention)
their time
. Until they actually start affecting you in any way whatsoever that would disrupt however you want to spend
your time
, you don't get the right to $%^&*.

This isn't a social network, this is a website for WoW-related stuff. Getting to know your forum-posters is all nice and dandy, but spamming the forum down with meaningless one-word-post-topics isn't helping anyone.
*edit*
25 out of the 48 topics on the front page is nothing more than meaningless spam, and I'm being very generous here.

Randomness in a WoW based site, means
anything that isn't WoW.

Yes, but do you think they meant for this place to be a cesspool of spam? We have 4chan for that. This is meant to be like a forum for non-WoW-related things, like discussions about laser warfare and such. Not yet another "rate this or that"-thread.
