We are backing off today and letting people vent. Will merge many threads tomorrow so just avoid the dup ones is all.
Makes senseWe are backing off today and letting people vent. Will merge many threads tomorrow so just avoid the dup ones is all.
Awesome news! Thanks @HenrikBy the way Henrik has worked out a system where members need a certain amount of posts and likes to start a thread
What you guys wanted right ?
Details to follow
Maybe give some non-moderators, but trusted members, the ability to merge threads - and ONLY to merge threads. Could ease the mod workload and get these identical threads merged quickly
If you see threads that should be merged send a PM to anyone on staff and we will take care of it
That's why we make the big bucks
Not really
Our philosophy is more like this....Is it any thing like merging lanes I'm brilliant at that, can stuff a whole freeway up?
We use 25 posts and 5 likes instead of just a 30 days count, it makes them vetted by at least five current FinHeaven members.Does this mean I have to retire all my soapbox graphics.?
Again from what I've seen work elsewhere, I would also add 30 days as a member as a rigid time requirement and
Revocation of thread starting privileges upon 5 threads ending up in the depths within a designated time frame.
In a perfect world, that "likes" criterion makes a lot of sense. However, IMO it's easy to get 5 likes from others who share the same irritable characteristics. How about upping the likes to 25 or 50? Also, I can foresee the pandering for more likes to fulfill that modest requirement.We use 25 posts and 5 likes instead of just a 30 days count, it makes them vetted by at least five current FinHeaven members.
The revoking of thread starting rights due to threads ending up in the depths seems unfair as it’s not necessarily the thread starters fault that it got side railed.
PS the soap box graphics are yours to keep LOL
Based upon recent activity 50 likes might be better as the new floor. Just an idea!We use 25 posts and 5 likes instead of just a 30 days count, it makes them vetted by at least five current FinHeaven members.

Be careful. I'll have @Henrik set 50 dislikes to auto ban and I'll get to dislikin'Based upon recent activity 50 likes might be better as the new floor. Just an idea!
