Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Updating Header Topics
Another issue is there are some members who I have on permanent block because I do not want to read their 35-45 posts (soon to be 50-60 posts) per month. Now, I am going to be force-fed these members' posts due to their being posted by another member. --- Alex Stanley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, ffl_topic_heading_editor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Alex Stanley j_alexander_stanley@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, gullible fool fflmod@ wrote: Is this person then deleting the original posts? Yes. This is the only we know of to start a new thread in the system if the author does not. This is a mistake. You should not be deleting valuable archives. Plus, it's difficult enough to follow threads from an email address without this kind of anal nonsense going on. Agreed. This topic heading editor bullshit is total fucking idiocy. It screws up the archives, How specifically does updating the topic of a post header screw up the archives? It screws up the archives by making posts authored by numerous individuals all show up as being made by the ffl_topic_heading_editor and if one participates via email, it doesn't do a damn thing Isn't a new thread with the updated topic created in e-mail? Yes, and it's a duplicate of the post that showed up in email. One can still reply to the original post in email or on the website if one gets to it before you do. So, in order to make this idiotic new scheme work, we need two more rules: 1. participation on FFL must be made via the web interface, and 2. replying to posts is forbidden until the ffl_topic_heading_editor has had a chance to edit any topic headings that need editing.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Updating Header Topics
Why do you think you will be force-fed 60 extra posts per excluded poster per month? Perhaps you are misunderstanding the simple and relatively inobtrusive process of updating heading topics. I meant some of their posts, certainly not all of them. Up until your recent activities, I had been getting zero posts by quite a few of the 35-45 posts per month types because I had placed them on block. There's not even enough time to read all the posts by members I want to read, and using a block on members whose posts are mostly inane, bickering, mood-making, etc., reduces the clutter in my inbox a great deal. How about this? Add the ID of the member making the post you are changing in the subject heading. --- ffl_topic_heading_editor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, gullible fool [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Another issue is there are some members who I have on permanent block because I do not want to read their 35-45 posts (soon to be 50-60 posts) per month.
