Silvio Dante Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I can’t say I’ve seen a load of abuse on here - after days like yesterday, emotions are obviously running high, but I didn’t see anything that I thought verged into abusive. Where I do think things are over-moderated is the excessive merging. Great example yesterday when a “comedy” thread and a thread about boycotting Robins TV was merged into one about general Robins TV issues. That was bizarre. I’ve also seen threads merged into ones that started three months ago (Holden out now is different to Holden out then, even if it’s the same subject). It’s also bloody annoying when you’re trying to “follow” a thread and all of a sudden three separate conversations merge. Sorry, off topic - haven’t seen abuse, have seen annoying merges!

The thread-merging has become a bit annoying lately. Merge when the same topics are being actively discussed, yes, but as you say, merging something from weeks ago doesn’t make sense to me. Hopefully the mods can take on this genuine advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 We should probably address multiple poster names as well while we’re here eh?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have more time to read and moderate posts if it wasn't for the people who hate this place but can't stay away with multiple accounts. It really isn't just about your IP addresses anymore, so don't think a VPN will save you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Alligator Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 It's the responsibility of the individual poster to be considerate in response to fellow supporters. Unless it's Gas of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of this is because we get there first and remove comments. I think part of the problem with merging (this is my opinion) we can see a thread and read it as being associated with a previous thread, but then in hindsight it's not. We do get multiple threads about the same topic, I guess the fact it mostly goes unnoticed is a good thing. I've found the thread you mentioned and separated it again from where you mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder on the merge point (unless it’s clear and obvious - eg two match day threads titled as such) whether the solution may be a “half hour” before merging. That way it can be seen if the thread develops the same way as an existing one/has interest as a solus topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
