Last thing I heard from you about creating a seperate link was "almost every admin agreed the forums had gotten out of hand" and "I like the idea... and it's certainly technically possible".
Yes; indeed you're not the only person who had asked that the recent posts exclude the noisy boards.

It seems to me the entropy pool is a cesspool. It basically has to do with the "View the most recent posts" link. People have to read through 3 pages of entopy pool to find something of use.
(I might have simply deleted the post.)
Deleting problem posts just causes the problem person to recreate the thread and rehash his arguments which are then no longer available.

( this never goes well)Deleting problem posts just causes the problem person to recreate the thread and rehash his arguments which are then no longer available. It's similar to banning a user from the forums. He'll flame the shoutbox for a couple days (because admins tend to not remove access from that feature) and then he'll log on as his secondary troll account to make one last "this forum sucks" thread. The comparison is really that both actions will be considered equally harsh by the target user.
I felt calling him slime was rather hilarious too. Thanks quadz!
That thread should of been redirected to begin with. For days it sat in the upload maps section.
Nobody is trying to silence ideas here. Often simply restating an idea with more apporopriate language is all that is necessary. i truly believe that under the current rules as stated, any idea can be expressed.<snip>Example B:Person 1: i state and believe that x=y.Person 2: Person 1, i disagree with your opinion for these stated reasons. Reason 1, reason 2, and reason 3.This would be perfectly acceptable, and allows complete freedom to let the poster express his thoughts, without any personal attacks. It is simply not necessary to belittle people to get your point across clearly and efficiently. *
When I click the DELETE button, the post is moved to the forums recycle bin, which is the Reform School board.
So, now we all admit that this crap really was about how jager treated spawngirl when she and her little msn buddy hopped on and flung some poo back at him over his fairly mild suggestions that she could have been a dude screwing with us, in a thread that wasn't in the right place due to the admins not moving it to entropy based on its content?It's nice of you guys to man up after days of denying it (not that it makes a difference now)
Would you take your problems to PM's or another thread please?I check here for TS500 related discussion, not e-drama.

Given the evidence already posted to the contrary--we've received complaints, we've been pondering the noise issue on the forums for a long time, myself all the way back to what led to the creation of the Entropy Pool in the first place--I'm going to assume the above is merely an attempt at a troll post. As already stated, the spawngirl thread was a threshold event.
Again, these thread derailments have been an item of concern to me for years, although as I've stated, I would have preferred a software-assisted solution, and as I've also stated I used to assign blame about 50/50 to the trolls and to those who responded to the trolls. I don't quite split it 50/50 anymore. But regardless of where the blame is assigned, my concern about the issue remains.
