Blackie Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Just to reiterate WSB2's point, if it continues then the thread will be nipped in the bud quite quickly. Did you understand that Carl S? Darren-K & Blackie? i'm a bit miffed i'm on the list. Not all of mine are totally random and none of them are attention whoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 The Off topic threads recently have been getting wilder and wilder and to be honest ridiculous. As the mod for this section I have to (painfully) trawl through all threads in this section and unfortunatly I just dont find the time. Define "off topic" though... what are the limits? It's a section for everything that doesn't fit in elsewhere isn't it? I'm not suggesting that the recent threads are any good but they aren't exactly against forum rules and I'm fairly sure I've started equally pointless ones along with many others over the years. The first few ridiculous threads were funny and everyone got them but no one needs to know if you have found belly button fluff and what you are going to do with it. But it's off topic... what's considered acceptable off topic and what's not? I have some pretty random conversations with real people on a daily basis, I don't post similar stuff up here but if I wanted to would I now be given infractions or something? If I find a picture of jesus in an egg sandwich from Tesco, as an example, am I allowed to mention this here? Please tone it down guys, Simple. It's not really that simple though is it? We need a strict definition of what's allowed otherwise we might fall foul of the heavy handed mod (singular). What's deemed stupid to some might be comedy genius to others, what's considered pointless to me might be the most interesting thread ever to Matt H for example... it's not as simple as you make out is it? What's acceptable to 99.9% of members might be be the worst thing ever for the remaining 0.1% - what then? Now to the flaming of these threads. If you dont like threads once you've opened them...close them. Dont flame the person for the thread, once you know you dont like it, dont read it again. The thread will live a short life if people feel the same and fall off the bottom of the new posts list. This would be fine but I think the ignore user functionality needs to be given more options to help with this. I have one user on my ignore list, he's a kn*b, I don't want to know he still exists if I'm honest. Yet his name pops up in threads, I can still see he's started threads, his quoted posts appear and so on... an ignored user should be dead to me, I don't want to see their threads, their name in the members list and so on... juice it up, give me more ignore power. If the thread turns into a flaming of the poster I will just lock it and may consider infractions if its gone to far as sometimes recently it has been close. Again you need to clarify what's acceptable and what's not - some moderators... well one... will give you an infraction for not sharing his opinions on something or challenging his views, others are more human and willing to enter into a chat about things. What's "too far"? If recent threads are "close" then what more would be needed to tip them over the edge? From the above I presume it's OK to threaten to physically harm someone on the forum or even pay for others to do it yet it's not OK to say that someone has "issues" because they post things than many consider to be trivial? Clarification please. Apart from that feel free to post in Off Topic Sorry, too scared of those infractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued, who could possible still be posting and be that bad to be on you're ignore. I have to agree with you're previous comment thought, i've only ever stuck one person (I think :scratch:) on ignore), but because every time they post a box comes up saying i'm ignoreing them i find myself inclined sometimes to see what they put, especially if they post in a thread i started for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
