Poofed threads suggestion

Hello?

How about when you delete a thread -- delete all the posts but put up a short description of why it is being deleted. Maybe if that is done a few times -- the discussions that go in that direction will cease.

What was wrong with the ebola thread about the second healthcare worker???

Maybe you missed a very political post at the end?

IMO I think it was the surgeon general discussion that got it poofed

I missed it.

In general, though, if people continue to create new threads again and again I wonder if Webbie's going to treat them like spamming or flooding and start poofing for that reason.

About not having a Surgeon General?

no -- I saw it -- but it would be WONDERFUL to get a little feedback rather than just POOF

don't you agree?

The last post blamed the situation on the president. That's instant bye-bye time.

I think that's already been happening.

Not consistently, but it has been happening.

Too bad one post can take down a thread.

Can't say that I blame the moderators. Do we really need that many threads on the same topic, with the same comments on each one?

AND -- if the same posters keep doing it -- BAN THEM and let us have decent conversations

a few (or one) poster(s) should not ruin a thread

I don't think we do.

I can't keep up with ONE, let alone 6.
