We have that ability, but I think we prefer closing to deleting. @dawgnms feels strongly about deleting threads and I'm following his lead on it
I will delete a spam thread with a quickness though
Yep if the only thing they can boo hoo about is a few closed threads I cannot wait until the season begins
I was thinking it would help clear out the clutter on the first page, but I guess the closed threads drop off naturally in fairly short order. Carry on!
Deleting a thread to me is a form of censorship, I believe in you own what you post. Deleting it would be like hiding something, I prefer to be up front and open and post as to why i closed it. Don't bother me one bit if people don't like it, I say get a straw and su ck it up.
IF I delete a thread or post the member will get a pm from me explaining why except a spammer
This right here ^ . Send a PM to the duplicate thread created explaining why it was deleted. Removes it from the “main screen” / first page altogether and for most of Dawgnation it will be as if it never was there to begin with.
Same as “duplicate” that doesnt get used.
Bandwidth? Okay, maybe but it’s just not that much. Still a better reason that saying clutter bothers a moderator.
The “tough-****” talk is unnecessary.
Figure of speech......I will try to do better
agreed. I had a small issue in my bourbon thread. we had some posts deleted, saved the thread, and had a understanding with the mod via private message. was a much better solution than what would have happened without mods
"Dont like that I closed a thread, all I can say is tough"
Another example:
NYCdawg (not a fan at all) had a thread about about Athens police and targeting UGA football player (I am extremely paraphrasing here). No where does he mention cox/beal in the OP, but it is closed and told to take the conversation to a thread about cox/beal. Similar subjects that could be connected in light of recent events, but not a duplicate thread.
So if someone starts a thread about "favorite colors" and someone else starts a thread about how they like the red sky at dusk, is one going to be closed and told to go post on the other thread?
I know it doesn't seem like it, but I agree we need a few mods on here. But mods should be like S.W.A.T, they should only pop up when things go bad. They shouldn't be out directing traffic.
NYCDawgs post was about targeting players for smoking weed. Same subject. Sorry you don't agree.
As for using the word tough. ....figure of speech.
Your right to disagree no problem with it at all. Mods wear lots of hats, traffic cop and babysitter are 2 examples
Still haven’t heard a solid reason for closing threads. So what if we have two or three threads going on the same topic? So what if another thread gets pushed to page two? So what if you are personally annoyed? First world problems. As long as the thread is civil let it be. Sometimes I don’t want to jump into the middle of a thread with a hundred posts already. Sometimes the thread gets hijacked or two guys start throwing out insults and ruin it. I’m a little concerned about the censorship issue and who decides what threads are worthy.
A thread about threads.🤣😂😅
what part of Jeff Sentell who is admin of this board does not want multiple threads on the same topic do you not understand? Nothing being censored the post and threads are still there just closed not DELETED
What happened to Cheney?!
A simple solution is to merge the threads without closing them. I've done this and haven't had any complaints. I will close a thread if there are any inappropriate post, insults or attacks on other members made. I will step in and direct traffic if the thread starts going in a topic that was not intended by the OP. Not fair for the OP to have the thread hijacked unless he/she doesn't mind.
And if anyone has issues about the moderation of this board, I would recommend letting Jeff know.
