Oh the irony - starting a new thread to quell new threads

Post by LaurieHolden »

Posters, passion aside for a moment, can we make an effort to stop making new threads every time you feel you've had such an original thought it deserves its own thread. (habitual offernders ~ Eureka, BazBoy) Otherwise we'll end up like BigFooty.

Look at any of the past 3 pages (or a simple search - given there's 1706 pages of content) I'm pretty sure you'll find a thread on your topic. I reckon 75% can be covered under ~
*Injury & Illness (can we sticky this? Presti35 provides a regular update)
*Buckley's weekly interview with Gerard Whateley in 2019
*Is Buckley coaching better than we think?
*any of Donny's Pre & Post Match + GB medal + AFL coaches award
*+ there's already a thread on every player - no need to start a new one (for the new players, why not use / amend BazBoy's foundation Welcome to Collingwood -XXXX)

Mods, can we merge these more readily, particularly the injury threads.

If we require more functionality, how about a fund raising drive to give Mike & co some additional resources. $20 from each poster might well provide some welcome additons... like brining back the ignore function.
(to donate click on the Help Keep This Show on the Road icon on the top left of the Gen Discussion page. My $20 is in)

Offernder’s are the worst kind offender’s but you may have valid point

Mods, I think its a relevant issue.

And to be honest, 90% of this comes down to one poster.

The use of the quote button in threads is out of control again too; people quoting long, multiple posts just to add one sentence
