Please can we have a trans topic. The site is over run with trans threads and I'd like to be able to hide the whole lot of them.

No you don't have to open the thread. There's a hide button on the RH side of the thread title and you swipe left on the app

BigDeskBob · 22/03/2017 13:28

Just act like an adult and ignore threads that don't interest you

DownHereInTheHorridHouse · 22/03/2017 13:28

No, it's a terrible idea.

I don't want to be silenced or othered. I want to see the strength of feeling on a topic. I don't want someone else, who deems this an irrelevance, to determine that it should be hidden because it bothers them.

Agree with you university.

I have to open the thread to hide it though. If there was a topic I could hide the whole topic.

HQ don't want to be pissing about moving threads, or that is all they will spend all day doing

They did during EURef tbf

We have one already. It's called Feminism and Women's Rights

Just hide the individual threads. There are a certain type of threads that I can't bear and they are posted all over the place so I can't hide the topic so I just hide the thread as soon as it pops up. Job done.

They said it would have to be requested by the users who wish to use it, not random readers who want the discussion corralled away from them.

I'm just telling you that it has already been requested and that was already the answer

I'm requesting. If I'm not to request here then what am I supposed to do?

As I said. HQ can move the threads if there is an area to move them to.

And do you think the trolling user names would use the correct section, or would they post in Aibu for a fight?

BeyondUser24601 · 22/03/2017 13:13

Mn have stated that they will not create sections to corral debate. That's not how it works - they get set up by request of the users.
