how would YOU change & improve the Q Community? - Page 2

The moderators are too strict, and poof too many threads and replies. I really believe if they get a complaint, they don't review it, they just poof it. This is a forum, there will be people you don't agree with. Just be an adult and move on. Censorship isn't the answer.

If we had the “ignore/block” feature, how would that work if the person posted in a thread you were commenting. Would their post be blank? I don’t know how the feature worked before.

In the past, you wouldn't see that the 'ignored' poster posted at all, unless another poster quoted their post when responding to it.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

The reason I liked the ignore, even if reposted, that part I would skip over. Others are baiting as the moderators call it, it's the arguing and attacking that goes on that it would be nice to ignore. Group not responding to these people who had ignore sent a stronger message to me, than a moderator stopping it. I don't see who the moderator stopped if I come in too late to read it. I vote for the right to "ignore" someone.

On a positive note, I still think it would be more fun if we were able to create a poll. That would work well when the topic involves opinion on certain styles and such. That would give us a "snap shot" of our thoughts.

I get really annoyed when some posters who think they are clever try to sneak in politics. It seems to be one side in particular, and they don't think the rules apply to them. I report it immediately.

Changing anything here is an exercise in futility. Too many personalities

The only thing we can change is ourselves

I like the rare intelligent discussions between two people with opposing views when they can be kept to the two people and don't degenerate into a sideshow. The point/counterpoint back and forth can be quite refreshing. It might be interesting to have an invite only option where two people can agree to debate one another on any topic (including the currently banned ones) and the rest of the forum simply gets to sit back and watch until the discussion is completed. Maybe even have it stay private between the two until the mods can review it to determine if it's civil enough to be posted.

I don't think there's any issue that two reasonable people of opposing views can't sit down and discuss without it necessarily becoming a flame throwing contest. On rare occasions such discourse would take place on the old Viewpoints forum with most just sitting back and watching as the two carried out a discussion. Civility seems less common these days though. (Viewpoints wasn't always a civil place, but on rare occasions real discussions on current topics, including politics, could take place there.)

Fly!!! Eagles!!! Fly!!!

I've been here off & on since 2005 and I guess I'm just not terribly invested enough to feel that the boards need a change. When we had the ignore button years ago I never used it once but I can understand how some might want it.

If I don't like a thread or find someone is a bit rude then I'll just move out of the thread. I enjoy reading here and enjoy some posters more than others but I remind myself that this isn't real life to me. Yes I do miss some posters who are no longer here...either they got banned or simply lost interest .....who knows?

I think it's nice for those who are housebound to have this opportunity for connection with others but too much time here makes me feel stagnant and I have to remind myself to get out more which I try to do.

So to me the boards are fine as they are.
