Suggestion about posts not being deleted quick enough.

What about a function I have seen on other sites where if a post has been disliked or reported a certain amount of times it hides the post?

Normally when I have seen it there is an option to un-hide it or view it if someone in particular wants to see it but it will stay hidden to people who don't.

That's along side the same lines that's been mooted re locking a thread down with a message like "pending review by MNHQ". A really great idea - I've been on here when some Beyond The Pale stuff has been posted and left to stand fpr hours.

I really think MNHQ are considering it.

Yes, it sort-of comes under a "thumbs up" | "thumbs down" voting facility.

See the most recent *> 'like'

Chaos I've been here too and have always thought that this would be a good idea, just something that makes things go away or hides them until MNHQ looks at them (which at certain times can take ages).

I've seen some horrible stuff left to stand for ages (normally over the weekend) but other not so bad stuff, like some of the funnier jokey trolls have been deleted quite quickly in comparison.

Network Kind of, I guess. More a case of report it so many times and it will be hidden but able to be viewed if someone particularly wants to see it. I know it would be open to abuse but if posters knew that then they could still see it. :)

No "thumbs up" though. Wink

Best say you want to see a trial then, on the 'Like' thread, and explain what you want from it (so badly 'scored' posts could be hidden from view, just for those who opt in to having post 'scoring' applied).

Unfortunately, any time the subject comes up, a few stick in the mud diehards come on to say

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

and I'm tempted to give them a burst of Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

I think the problem they have is when does being reported due to an unpopular view become something tgat should be deleted. As well as once tge policy is out there it is open to abuse.

They say someone is on duty at all times but not sure why it takes longer some times than others. Tbh it's no always limited to tge weekends.

Sounds like a good idea: it's irritating when you go out for a few hours and come back to find you've missed a belting good ruck and all the most entertaining posts have been deleted.

SchrodingersMew · 05/08/2012 14:08

OhNo But in this case, the posts would be hidden (so posters who do not want to see the messages don't have to but posters who still want to see what was written, can).

SGB Yeah, I hate that. Also hate when you're in the middle of reading a bloody entertaining thread and it goes poof!
