A Forum Feature Request

[Darrius Gothly]

As we're all aware, there is an individual that insists on spamming the forum boards with his "eclectic" personal vendetta. While I realize y'all are working hard to cut him off, it does bring an idea to mind that would help in other ways too. To help frame this request, here is a copy of the Topics List showing the latest "contribution":

Higher up on this page we have an option to mark all posts as "Read", but I have not read them all, yet I wish to remove this particular one from my sight (and off the page if possible). So here's the suggestion(s):

 

1. Offer a hover-option to "Mark as Read" for a particular topic. This should remove the "New" marker but NOT increase the "View Count" (as I really do not feel like stroking this guy's ego)/
2. Offer a "Sink to Bottom" hover option to permanently move this topic to the very end of the sorted Topics List. Since Lithium keeps a lot of topics in the list and you can only list (I think) 50 per page, this would permanently move it out of the way. (I realize the sort order is a Global attribute and not personal, but there ought to be some way to accomplish this.)
3. Offer a RIC hover option from the Topics List page. We really don't need to open and look at this to know what it says, do we? (And doing so just feeds his ego more by giving him more and more views.)

Thanks for listening. I hope you are able to provide some mechanism to help us manage this type of garbage better .. at least on our own screens.

This may be a naive question but why can't we have at least one moderator during the "European" day (9:00 am / 5:00 pm GMT)? It has been demonstrated than just ONE moderator is efficient to clean the forums.

Doesn't LL have offices outside the US? Just asking...

due to the inability of Lindenlabs to solve this problem permanently, a solution could be to offer the spammer a job @lindenlabs, any job proposals???? *meows*

(fricken fracken BUTTONS!) LOL

I hear the position of "Customer Sacrificial Lamb" ... errr ... "Customer Service Manager" is open.

well.... since he love to use the word bottom and lick .. I proposed him to become LL's Janitor...

[Void Singer]

better yet... put them to work building all the things they are complaining dont exist... contract to be paid on completion to specification.

Since the move to this new format seems barely to have inconvenienced spammers, Void, any chance of your rewriting your excellent  (and frequently used, at least by me) "ignore button" for this platform?

[Void Singer]

honestly, after looking at it..... it's more than I can deal with parsing right now.... too many options, too much clutter and backwardsness, and not enough time for me to work on it right now

 

I did put in official support for a built in feature on the lithium boards here, and I suppose a little community support to make the point couldn't hurt >=)

 

if I get some real time to throw at it I might, but I'll be honest... it's not even on my radar right now (I was half hoping Cerise might tackle it =X)

[Innula Zenovka]

Thanks for the reply, Void.   I've just registered at the Lithium forum and added my support to the proposal.

[Darrius Gothly]

Another voice added .. and a + on the orginal author's Kudo button.

Y'know, those Idea things would be VERY useful here too. It would really cut down on the JIRA mess too.

Yo! Add Ideas BACK into our platform .. PLEASE!

It is not easy to get interested in this. Posting rates are still declining. With less to read each day it is easier to keep up and ignore by eye. If the decline levels or reverses some day, maybe it will become an interesting problem.
