Dear Admin

I might just be having a bad day but as we have a thank you button to hit, is there any chance we can have a 'Bin'em' or 'Burn 'em' button.
If enough people hit the button, could we suspend, gag, neuter, shoot etc the person in question?
It would help my stress levels and could try and bring a little more order to the world.
(I will now get off my soap box and meditate some where - actually a large glass of Ardbeg Uigedahl)

Good Idea!

Nah. Contravenes Dr Spooner's "rule one".
But perhaps something which was the opposite of "thanks". Like a "slap" button of some type...
Freedom of speech is a fine thing. We must respect people's inalienable right to talk drivel if we wish to retain our rights to call them plonkers.
IMO. -
Robert
I do agree - a bit - but you are missing the obvious as stated by Doc Spooner - Rules are meant to be broken!
I do agree about freedom of speech and I would set the bar VERY high before people got binned but I am fed up of people hijacking conversations with the same drivel.
I still think a small annual subscription to this site that goes towards hiring a hitman/woman may be needed - and that suggestion is with my reasonable hat on!!
Phil -
The bit I love about that is that you are talking about clubbing together to hire a cold blooded contract killer to delete people we don't like... but you still said hit man / woman lest you be non PC:D. Cos if you'd just said hit MAN then THAT would be inappropriate. :D
Got to laugh. -
-
Course it is!
LOTS of sites charge a small subscription ;) -
Quite like the Freudian slip about 'clubbing' together - more satisfying maybe?
Regarding legality, I do know of a local FHP who is diversifying into absolutely everything so maybe he can do it and take the legal fall out (bit of politics for you and not a shameful attempt to stir things up)

pushing the button niow...

Virtual 'smirtually'
I was brought up in South Yorkshire, where we hard to wind up but when we do......!!!!!!
Come on Admin, give me a button, any button will do! -
I do share yoru concerns. There are a recent number of threads that are serving no purpose. I get emails about deleting them or closing them. I get get abused of I do and I get abused if I don't. May soon be taking a 'hard arsed' attitude towards some of those threads very soon. -

does the ignore button just prevent that person from contacting you via personal messenger?
-
-
does it hide my posts from them

How about some kind of "restaining order". As in "this has been done elsewhere..."
although the idea of specific sanction still raises my hackles somewhat. I see the benefit but it smells a little of censorship. If we don't like what people say that's one thing....
I'd hate to justify anyones paranoia.
I feel sorry for admin. Moderating something like this is well nigh impossible without pissing someone off!!
Perhaps an agreement that threads must be held strictly "on topic" and tight moderation of deviation is a compromise? And perhaps a limit on threads started? -
Phil
Why dont you just come out and name them instead of beating around the bush?
The trouble with the site is that there are double standards- its ok for a thread to get diverted for a lot of silly banter and innuendo, but when someone has a gripe about matters that do impact on their practise/patients, then people get up in arms and asked for it to be pulled.
Sorry for your bad day Phil, maybe something other than a pod forum would help you calm down?

Dear all
Please understand this has all been done partially 'tongue in cheek' to try and highlight the non-productive dialogue and rhetoric that seems to becoming more prevalent.
I agree with Roberts approach that a restraining order as a type of wake up call may be more manageable - may be a 7 day ban from posting?
Mr Corny Merchant (strange name but everyone to his own), I wasn't thinking of anyone specific - were you? Don't worry too much about me calming down - I am now at one with the universe and just wanted to get a point across. Sounds like you need to get something of your chest with comments about double standards - maybe a large glass of Laguvulin may help.
Cheers
Phil -
Sounds like a Klan rally.

Is there facility to have someone banned from a specific thread if they drive it off topic? That way there is no real censorship (they can always start their OWN thread) but it stops people hijacking an interesting topic and turning it into a row.Last edited: Sep 1, 2010 -
Robert,
You said
Also, if the topic was that rivetting, it is unlikely that anyone would want to hijack it.

I too am glad you are at one with the universe.
Cornmerchant -the name- a little tongue in cheek -maybe just not your humour.
I have no idea what Laguvulin is- does it compare to Collis Brown?
Serious threads rarely get highjacked.

CM
Lagavulin is a whisky - whats Collis Brown?
Phil -
...keeping quiet though...

Phil
Dont like whiskey. Collis Brown was the stuff to stop diarrhea when I was younger- it contained morphine which was why it was withdrawn! Shame, it was yummy!
cm -
was it Kaolin and morphine ?
-
Hey Corny,
