forum stuff: option to follow/hide specific threads

Back to Site Feedback

hypothetically speaking, let's say someone creates a thread called "what time is it" and every subsequent comment in that thread is people literally posting their local time.  now i get that those type of threads bump forum activity a little; it's not uncommon to see stuff like that.  but i'd rather have the option to hide, so that i could instead see posts with a bit more substance behind them.

with that in mind, i think it would be nice to have a link at the top of any given thread to hide it, so that it's not visible when you're viewing the board that thread is in.  likewise, say you enjoy a particular thread and want to follow it for updates - a link to sub to that thread would be nice too.  

here's a rough idea of what i'm envisioning here:


lmk what you think :3

good suggestion !! maybe even a "spam"? sorta forum category could help with that! ^_^

@euoni i like this idea too tbh!  perhaps a board not visible on the forum homepage, but one where posts flagged as spam could be manually moved to by mods 

:3

@euoni mind you,  that also opens the floodgates for ppl abusing the feature, and mass spam reporting anything on the basis of x posted something and y doesn't agree with it :o

i could easily see myself as being a prime target of that tbh XD

@goat lolz i can def see that happening, such a good idea though! an invisible board might deter some feature abuse, hopefully xd

@euoni gtg work but i'm gonna drop a poll just for this :3

should friendrewind have a hidden containment board (for anything flagged as spam)
