View Full Version : Hey RYAN and everyone! How about this...?

I was just going to PM Ryan with this idea, but I thought maybe hearing the groups input would be good. Maybe it's not even an original idea. Anyway...

We, as a group, don't seem to be able to control ourselves when it comes to responding to lame threads (myself included), like those about "rat rods" and "Faux patina", so they stay at the top while everyone adds their two cents about how they wish the thread and subject would go away. The self-perpetuating problem is obvious.

Ryan, to help solve this, could there be a system put in place where, by voting, we the users could lock a thread? Sort of like the star rating system (that doesn't really mean much) but enough low marks would lock it.

Just an idea.

How about:

THREAD CLOSED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST!

Oooh yeah, click on the black star to vote to lock the thread.

Basically it's like the Spam button on craigslist. One guys can't boot the post, but several can.

GREAT idea. I can't hold myself back sometimes... of course Muttley has a valid point on the liberace pic... ;)

after thinking about this for a few hours
my first thought remains,

the HAMB is not a democracy
but if there is a thread that you disagree with
or is offensive
or off topic enough
hit the REPORT button
to alert the moderators
and let them decide it's fate
