I hate the fact that trolls kill almost every idea that someone posts that is good and or could start a good idea in the game, and I think if the Thread Creator could Hide Posts in the threads, we could eliminate 100's of troll posts that serve no purpose at all.
This could also help the moderators save time.
Please LIKE this post if you think this is a good idea. (I know the negative trolls wont)
Edited: (For those who think that their opinion wont be heard, an option where you can view hidden OP posts should be allowed, this way you can see how Biased the OP is, and if the hidden post is of value)

It's a good idea, especially given how this forum software itself can allow for such...but at the same time it's a horrible idea because people can't behave.
-
05-25-2011, 12:52 AMAuctionGirlIf someone is posting in a thread and gives no "valuable" feedback, it deserves to be deleted. Just because you disagree with an idea, doesn't mean you flame them for it. You simply create a thread on why you disagree with it and then maybe something valuable will come out of the discussion. Flaming someone never solves anything, nor does any good idea come from it. It only devalues the thread. If the thread creator keeps deleting your posts, then maybe you are a troll. Simple and effective.Quote:

as I know... vBulletin doesn't have an option to do that
and I disagreed. giving such a power to the thread creators? they can eliminate every opinions that they don't like and the thread will become one-side
did you know, even when moderators delete or edit your post they'll send an email to tell you the reason. that's their standard which mean deleting someone post is a big deal and should be done by moderators only -
05-25-2011, 01:04 AMBloodLotusThis is exactly why the option isn't available.Quote:

Leave that function to the mods. Otherwise you'll get too many OPs on power trips.
-
05-25-2011, 01:10 AMAuctionGirlWell if the OP is like this, then don't participate in their threads. Its very easy... If a new thread needs to be created about the argument against the main thread, then so be it... it might actually do more justice than inside a thread with 30 pages.Quote:

No thanks, would be abused way too easy.
-
05-25-2011, 01:30 AMAdvancedWind
People from all and any sides will delete and moderate anything they disagree with, this idea wouldn't work at all.

Firstly you are posting in the wrong sub-forum.
The reason why so much hate is directed to the suggestive post's in the general forum is because most of the trolls hang out here.
Go to the relevant sub-forum in the case of this post you would want SITE FEEDBACK > FEEDBACK & SUGGESTIONS.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...ck-Suggestions
Saying that I don't think having the thread starter being able to dictate what others say in their thread is a good thing. -
05-25-2011, 01:32 AMGramul
At first I wasn't so keen on the idea, but then I saw your edit and I think that's reasonable.
-
05-25-2011, 01:38 AMNuruI think it is a considerable idea. I mean, of course, it would make things easier for the mods, and i have seen many posts that don't really have the constructive feedback that some OP's ask for.Quote:

If they did abuse the power, then people have a right to report that member for being one-sided. It would be easier for the mods to actually point out the trolls.
Either way, it makes the mods an easier job and it keeps the actual good threads from being taken over by said trolls. -
05-25-2011, 01:43 AMDemacia
Pretty much what everyone has already said. Easily to abuse. No thank you.
-
05-25-2011, 01:45 AMEnthy
/like for OP ^^
I think it would also make people think twice before posting something like "LOL go back to WoW N00B!!!@#@#" and end up posting something like "i disagree because..." or not post at all if they have nothing constructive. -
05-25-2011, 01:47 AMNuru"some people have" not everyone.Quote:

Now if that were to happen, the OP could delete those posts and people could easily ignore trolls and be able to actually post their own opinions and not be influenced by these short-sentence posts, give more of a reason why something doesn't work or why it would work.
OP's shouldn't even be bothered to delete constructive posts like that because they are actually worth reading. -
05-25-2011, 01:59 AMRentahamsterFYI, I'd edit everyone's post so that it links to deliciously illustrated fanfics of Final Fantasy/Voltron/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover romance stories.Quote:

He tried to hold back the happier memories of him and Squall at the carnival together in endless bliss, juggling materia, eating pizza, and learning magic from zombie Dumbledore.
From the tall grass, a wild chocobo appears!
Leonardo resists the temptation to pull out his pokeball once he sees that the chocobo carries a message.
"Wak wark! A letter from Squall desu!" squealed the horse bird.
Boco barfed up a small pink envelope. Leonardo picked it up, carefully opening it with a furious NINJA TURTLE SLASH.
His hands trembled as they unfurled the letter within..."
You really don't want me to have this power. -
05-25-2011, 02:03 AMAuctionGirlSo your saying that NO ONE can create any threads about how they dislike the game? OR hate threads? What I'm saying is DON'T TROLL others positive/idea threads because you hate the game. Constructive Threads are how the game improves, not Trolling themQuote:

Nuru, responding "your idea is stupid" is a different kind of abuse. Allowing people to censor their own threads defeats the purpose of a forum.
-
05-25-2011, 02:03 AMAuctionGirlYou would not have EDIT, but only DELETE, so you couldn't modify someones post, only delete (hide) them.Quote:

Why give OP the power to delete every post that he doesn't agree with? It would only serve to shit these boards up even more.Quote:

Seems like the easier way of implementing this would be to stop people on your blacklist from being able to post in your topic.

If this were implemented and people, as you suggested, had to start "rebuttal" threads to a topic if they disagreed with a poster's idea you're going to have multi-page madness and good topics/discussions continuously bumped to page 5. EVERYONE would want to create their own topic to lord over.
Does anyone (or the devs for that matter) really want to read 10+ threads on one single issue? My guess is "ummm........not really" based on the numerous "hey buddy, that thread already exists" posts I see pop up on repeated topics.
Just put the trolls on "ignore" (protip: then it's up to YOU to actually ignore them... if you keep taking them off so you can find out what rubbish they responded with, it kinda defeats the purpose) -

Only three types of people should be allowed to delete posts: admins, moderators, and the person that created their own post. Allowing any more is pathetic and defeats the purpose of discussion.
