DieHardFan Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I am getting frustrated at the number of topics that get hi-jacked, usually by 2 -4 posters who use it to argue with each other about subjects that many times have nothing to do with the post's topic. (ie minor example that prompted this: http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=46969 ) I'm not against the discussions, just start a new post. Is it possible to add an option under the OPTIONS > MODERATOR OPTIONS that lets the topic originator delete non relevant posts? Optimally a line would show that a response by xyz was deleted by the original poster. If so and the mods are willing is anyone else interested in this? [And yes I'm prepared for the number of wannabe witty responses that may follow.] [Mod's please give this a chance and don't banish this to the consumer or complaint area for at least a day. Thanks.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making each poster a moderator would cause more problems than it solves. If you have a problem with specific posts within a thread (regardless of whether you start the thread or not), report it to the board moderators. They can then determine if any action is required. Just my opinion, but there needs to be more consolidation of posts. When you have everyone starting a new thread to discuss the same things, it prevents people from participating. They see the first two pages flodded with the same topic, they end up glossing over any other topics that might be sprinkled in. This is a complaint I hear over and over again.

I like the wanderings...it goes towards comraderie, and offers the twin pleasures of cracking jokes and cracking backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veering off course is ok even a good thing but three pages of "You're an ****" "No you're an ****" gets old fast and there are alot of posters that feel that they need the last word in these type of battles. Just my opinion, but there needs to be more consolidation of posts. When you have everyone starting a new thread to discuss the same things, it prevents people from participating. They see the first two pages flooded with the same topic, they end up glossing over any other topics that might be sprinkled in. This is a complaint I hear over and over again.692938[/snapback] I agree but don't think that this would contribute significantly to that problem. Once the spotlight is off the attention grabber I doubt they will get many others wanting to view a battle of (nit)wits. As always all comments are just IM(never)HO.

Lv-Bills Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 No way... stephanie abrams takes the cake...something about big juggs and little shorts standing in a hurricane... 692950[/snapback] I used to agree with this, but I don't anymore. Jenn Carfagno is perfect wife (looks) material. She's that cute kinda hot. Hillary Andrews, on the other hand, is just that sleazy, kinda, I've got skeletons in my closet, kinda, hot. Abrams is toward the hot side.....but seriously, look at Hillary Andrews at night, and look how she dresses and stuff. Her face, body, hair......WOW. In a perfect world, it would be great to have Carfagno as a wife.....and Andrews as your business travel partner.....great for those "business trips" to LA or San Fran or wherever.

I'd like to scrape off the pound or so they all wear, and get a look at the zit marks and the greasy pores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
