1. I don't necessarily see how. I'd at least like people to be more mindful that when the thread moves fast, conversations easily get drowned.

2. Well, the main problems would be that I couldn't do it in NSG, but would have to do it in F7. Which wouldn't attract the same kinds of people that post here.


TET should be open for conversation. It's the whole point of it. If you have a problem with the conversation moving too fast that's too bad, but the only way to actually solve that problem would be if the thread was less popular.

I have no problem with the open for conversation bit. I'm just saying that there are ways to solve the problems TET has without resorting to unnecessary measures (like moderator action).

How is the thread being popular a problem? And how are moderators the unnecessary measure? The Spam Report thread gets us by with the worst offenders, what I see as the unnecessary measure is your attempt at creating a user police state. I cannot believe this conversation is being constantly dragged up. It in itself is getting spammy.

TET should be open for conversation. It's the whole point of it. If you have a problem with the conversation moving too fast that's too bad, but the only way to actually solve that problem would be if the thread was less popular.

I don't know if that can be done. For TET to become a place actively avoided by Greeters and spamwhores, we'll need to become a lot less pleasant and more verbally aggressive.
