Plopper threads on 'Active'

1 reply

Is there a way of changing the 'active' threads filter, so that it needs 2+ posts by the OP to be included? I'm seeing lots of plopper threads lately, either something really controversial or 'guess what happened' type discussions, where the OP just buggers off and doesn't come back. Having these on active really limits the conversations and just leaves a vacuum which encourages trolling and pile-ons.

Hi @LardyCakeAgain

Thanks for raising this. We understand your frustration about threads where the OP doesn't return but we don't think it's really workable to exclude such threads from active conversations.

Sometimes an OP posts and then may not return for a while, for all sorts of reasons - children and work and life getting in the way. Other times an OP may be finding the responses a little hard to hear, and might take a while to take them on board and reply. Other times, of course, the OP may well be a troll...

If you can hit the report button on any threads you're concerned about we'll happily take a closer look. If we're not certain the OP is genuine we'll take the necessary action.
