please please could there be a topic to put all the student riot threads in

[nightmarebeforechristmas]

I am hiding them all, but everytime I look there is another, couldn't it have it's own topic?

why? just hide them

I have done, but just asking.

Thank you for the suggestion,
anyone else ...?

Please
everytime I look someone has started yet another one

it is a temporary news item.no need for an entire topic imho.

What would you call it?

Rioting?

well we have a royalty one, so why not student protest/riot one?

Why not put them in the politics topic?

if only they would all post in there
but they are everywhere, and all pretty much the same

Hello. Thanks for the suggestion.

We can see why you'd like to put the student riot threads all into one topic but we really only create new topics for ishoos that we think will have perennial appeal - ie be used week in/week out, year in/year out.

It's kinda normal, we think, for there to be several threads about a big news story while it's happening and for a day or so after After all, there are often lots of different angles to discuss.

It's equally normal for threads on that issue to gradually disappear afterwards.

And we don't see any reason at the moment why the student riot threads shouldn't follow a similar pattern.

Obviously, we'll keep an eye, though. And we'd be happy to revisit if things change...

Applauds Helen's response.

Can we have a separate topic for people requesting every news story with more than 2 threads has its own topic though?

second that last post

oh well
never mind
