Forums suggestion (108)
JimNastics: No they haven't. Not one person has stated why this change would not be good, or make it worse. I understand that people are generally set in their ways and reluctant to change, even if the change is to everyone's benefit. Unfortunately, that is human nature. However, no one has stated a concrete reason, why this change would not be of benefit to all. Instead, they have denied the problem. OK, if there's no problem, then the change wouldn't make any significant change, would it ?
But, if it IS a problem (which it is), then this change would help the majority of people on the site.

I explained why I didn't think post blocking was a good idea from my experiences on pof.
As for bumping a thread up, I've only seen that done recently on the Glasgow meet thread and I just don't see a problem with it.
Forum flooders do irritate me, but although there was a spate of this a few months back, it just doesn't seem to happen enough these days to warrant a change in the forums, imo.

MovinFWD: Just all the more fuel for the fire for them to completely eliminate the forums altogether
Exactly!!!!We have had weeks of peace here, and today up jumps the complaints brigade, together with the bottom feeders, to upset the whole atmosphere.

I'd agree wholeheartedly with that.As for bumping a thread up, I've only seen that done recently on the Glasgow meet thread and I just don't see a problem with it.

Fair enough G
I was thinking more on the lines of blocking someone from reading your posts?
I have seen it done before and it saves on any unnecessary spiteful comments!!!
But i agree with the bumping issue

What you seem to have here, is what you have had for some time, a personal grudge against one, or maybe even two posters, that you percieve, are hogging the limelight.

That's another statement that is wrong.
In fact, some (but not all) of the worst offenders are people that I truly like otherwise.
My suggestion IS for the good of all. To make things more equitable. If there's ANY grudges, they are against me, for being fair.

Yeah, I said in my original suggestion, that blocking would be a less favorable method. I agree.
But, it is happening a lot, an excessive amount.

Having a grudge against someone for being fair, does not make any logical sense.
Is it the people who go in the scrabble threads and the like?
What, or who is it, that you are classing as forum flooders here?
This site is divided into secions for a reason. It means that if you want to see posts in a particular category then you can go to that section, and the ones you want are invariably on top.
Only in one section do all the categories mix and the most used/popular threads be on top. That is in the "all threads secion"
The answer to your dilemma then, is to stick to the sections, and you won't be bothered with seeing posts from other sections/categories that you don't want to see on top, there.

That IS something that is offered in CS blogs.

If I believe one of my Threads is not getting the attention I believe it deserves,I am free to post to it again!
i wouldn't dream to have my Thread stay on Top at the cost of other posters!
If it isn't important enough in the Opinion of Members,other Threads will rise to the top!

Unfortunately, people do not always behave logicly.
An unfair person might hold a grudge against someone who stood up for fairness. Someone who doesn't fold due to standing up to bullying. There are many 'reasons' an unfair person might hold a grudge against a fair person.
It is not me classifying anyone. It is by site definition.
It is against the forums rules to name names.
I've never been in scrabble threads. So, I have no idea what goes on in there.
Who they are, is not important. I'm not trying to get ANYONE
in trouble. I'm suggesting change for the better.
What is important with regard to this thread, is that the
actual powers that be, see my suggestion and determine how easily it can be enacted. Enacting it has no negative influence, only positive....for all.

I don't give two hoots who bumps threads really.
What I would like to see is that a person is required to give the country where they actually reside. There's some on here who aren't within 2000 miles of the US, but claim to be.

And this is why I just laughed at your taunts. If you had addressed me directly earlier, then I'd have told you.
As it is, I am fed up with all the not-so-veiled-insults, when you didn't know what was going on.
Your intent, I believe, is usually good, but you still don't understand that I am not the bad guy. Neither do I make good target practice.
You will probably be delighted to hear that I am leaving this thread now, and I am delighted to inform you that it had nothing to do with you.
I just got fed up trying to reason with idiots and half wits.

oh sweet niblets...when have i taunted you??
You quoted me and laughed and my opinion, joked at my opinion.
The only person here who obviously has an issue is YOU!!!
Reasoning with idiots and halfwits....i will take that as a compliment, otherwise i will assume you are trying to offend me? Again??
