make spam and drama show again

UnderTails · April 16, 2021 at 5:00 PM

the forum is dead and extremely depressing without it and it’s been very sad scrolling through the past few days can we reenable it

**wild1145** · April 16, 2021 at 5:01 PM

For folks confused by this suggestion please see https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/1091-hide-sp…all-discussions which was approved and implemented 6 days ago to hide spam and drama from the home screen.

The threads are still there, you just have to view the General discussion board and not all threads.

@wild1145#14888 i know but it’s really annoying having to do that to get to the posts and it’s killing the vibe of the forum so i want it reenabled personally

**wild1145** · April 16, 2021 at 5:04 PM

@UnderTails#14889 I'm just making it obvious why the change was originally made. I'm not personally bothered either way if we re-enable or not, I just wanted to make sure people understood why you were suggesting this as it seems not everyone had seen the original approved thread.

object, i really don't think that those posts are very necessary, its fine for a good laugh every once and a while but those posts were just flooding the entire home area, so its fine

UnderTails · April 16, 2021 at 5:05 PM

@wild1145#14890 yes i vouched for it and then afterwards i slowly realized it completely ruined the vibe of the forum and i hate it being off now

Panther Spam and Drama threads are unsurprisingly a bit spammy. While you can't anchor discussions on Flarum, there's still a solution - you can hide threads from Spam and Drama from the "all discussions" home page on the forum. This can be easily toggled with a setting in the admin config for the forum. I am suggesting that this option be turned on for the Spam and Drama section of the forum.

Object. There's been days where over half the new posts were from S&D.

**StevenNL2000** · April 16, 2021 at 8:04 PM

I still think that making all spam and drama threads falling is the best solution, which means that they will not move back to the top if someone posts in them. This is also how it was set up on ProBoards. Unfortunately, this is most likely not going to happen until we switch to a new forum.

Vouch. But would prefer @StevenNL2000#14914's suggestion.

Forum is dead yo

Captainclimber · April 17, 2021 at 11:00 AM

Vouch

Just preference, but I prefer seeing all new threads added.

You! · April 17, 2021 at 11:22 AM

Does anyone know if it would be possible to make it so that users can choose what discussions they see?

**StevenNL2000** · April 17, 2021 at 11:24 AM

@Ashaz#14941 Most likely, but it would require installing an extension, which is probably not going to happen.

GeekGuy432 · April 17, 2021 at 10:29 PM

Object, I agree with some of the comments above that there were just too many S&D posts coming up before. Also, I'd rather that people's first view of the forum is not a load of threads from the S&D board.

Tizz · April 17, 2021 at 11:26 PM

Neutral. Important stuff is more visible the way it is now but the forum's activity is currently pretty low.

FYI you don't need to select Spam and Drama to see the threads, they'll appear after clicking on General.

**Alco_Rs11** · April 18, 2021 at 1:24 AM

I object. I shouldn't be flooded with shitposts when looking at recent threads. There used to be a feature on the old forum where spam and drama wouldn't clog the recent threads, so why can't we have it here?

Fleek · April 18, 2021 at 1:55 AM

@Alco_Rs11#14963 Because Flarum doesn't support falling.
