Don't read multiple threads on the same topic if they annoy you - stick to one.

So....the reader has the onus? You miss the point again. This Petition is about getting the Mods to act to prevent multiple Threads on the same topic, so that we punters need not have to bother wasting our time. Surely, that is the Mod's job? If not...what are they here for?

Wink

aussie can you explain how you would pick these multi thread on the same subject without a poor mod reading everyone of them? I mean its not only pol/suxs that it happens on is it?????.

I presume thats the board you are mainly complaining about..

read musos post and he would know..

maybe you could volunteer to be the clean up mod! well its just a thought.

Reply #47 - Mar 5^th, 2013 at 8:35am Well.....once you have read a few lines, it becomes apparent if it is a duplicate theme. If they want a clean up Mod., sure I'll volunteer....but I'd also need the suspend button to wave around if people did not get the message.

NO NOT ANOTHER NAZI PLEASE...

what about imcrook aussie every thread he makes is about unions...

as a matter of fact I have never seen crook reply on anyone elses threads only his own...union chatter.

not that I am complaining just pointing out a fact of life..can you imagine all his threads in one????..
horrible thought..

the art of living is learning to live with others warts and all..and dwelling on the positives and not the negatives..

if you dont like macca why bother with him???. dont give him the pleasure of your comments.

Wrong. (No reference to any Poster, including Maqqa, in the OP.) I am promoting the idea of ridding this place of redundant, multiple Threads on exactly the same theme...and I will highlight it no matter who (left or right) starts a new Thread needlessly.

But....this is not about him. It is about redundant multiple Threads on the same theme in Politics commenced by either side, or anybody.

Miss Borg, as soon as you use Hitler (totally out of context) trying to defend or justify a point you lose.

Ah, yes. Reductio ad Hitlerum or Playing the Nazi or Hitler card.

From the Urban Dictionary:

Quote:

A common last ditch effort in a heated political debate to steer the argument back in one's favor by declaring your opponent's position to be that of Adolf Hitler.

Often times this is done with little thought as to whether or not Adolf Hitler was for or against a particular side. Who cares about logic it's just fun to insult your opponents by likening them or their beliefs to tyrannical despots.

Lost count of how many times I've seen that used in my 12 years online.

Just mentioning hitler is not a godwin. In fact where is the heated debate? Seriously you ppl are taking it too far he was just an example of a right wing famous person fascist.

The sad thing is, I think he does that for free.

No way. 'He' is on the LNP pay-roll. Peta Credlin (or someone on her staff) probably........and doing a great job keeping the LNP agenda right up there all the time.

Gimme the buttons for 48 hours. I'll immediately ban Maqqa....and then.....wait to see what next pops up.

Now why would you ban maqqa when all he does is start multiple threads? He doesnt really abuse ppl and he has a right to his (weird) opinion. The real trolls abuse ppl and dont even bother referring to the topics and completely derail any threads they disagree with by personal abuse. They should be banned before the peaceful ppl who you can ignore if you dont like their threads. I dont open every maqqa thread but every single thread i go in there are 3 - or 4 trolls that follow me around with personal abuse and no discussion @ all and it halts anyone else from being able to have a discussion. Also its not just me - its anyone not to the right of hitler that cops these few trolls stalking them.

SOB

well said sob... at long last you are talking sense...macca doesnt abuse... well not often anyway.he does lose his temper though but not enough to ban for life..

btw you are not alone in being trolled...LOL... take it on the chin.. laugh at them... and just think like I do... I annoy them and thats GOOD...

they dont bother me as I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM

I say the same about any non-abuser here and have since i have been here.

It isnt going to happen aussie. FD wont ban olde sault or maqqa so it just wont happen. He doesnt even suspend trolls because a) its his sock or b) he likes trolls or c) they follow his politics? I dunno but for whatever reason . . . . . nothing will happen

the thing is that if anything *did* happen it would be the poster that doesnt agree with his politics that gets dealt with even if they were the first to post the topic.

SOB

That's ridiculous. I can't think of much that FD and I agree on, but those accusations are baseless. For some reason, I don't think he's one of those desperate no-lifes that insist on making up multiple accounts. As to your second point, does anyone really like trolls? And your third is perhaps the most stupid of all - from what I've seen, he calls them out on their stupidity just as much as he does with anyone else. Perhaps he just respects their freedom of speech. Nobody is forcing you or Aussie or anyone else to click on threads started by members who annoy you.

Really? So its ridiculous? So what happened? Have multiple threads been stopped? Are they looking like being stopped?

BTW obviously you havent read what i said because i said i don't open all maqqa threads. Not in this particular post but it wasnt mentioned @ all was it.
