Obviously, I've been following some threads and I'm working on a couple of things that I came up with recently that I'm planning on implementing for the sake of making things a little more tolerable here.
I'm currently working on a single-post mute, along with a conversation mute. Here's essentially how those will go:
Single Post Mute - Pretty self-explanatory. If there's a post with something you don't want to see, this will allow you to hide it and remove it from appearing in the thread.
Conversation Mute - This one, I think, should be a big help, as this is meant to address the people who seem to go at it in the middle of a thread.
You'll just need to click on a post that has one of the people quoting the other one, and then any further interactions between the two will be hidden. However, if one of those people continues to post about the topic with others, their posts will be visible.
So as an example, say Member A gets into it with Member B, and they start arguing. You just click on an interaction where one of the two quoted the other, and their bickering at each other will vanish.
However, if Member A or Member B replies as normal to the thread, you'll be able to see it. Same goes for if either of those people replies to you, you'll be able to see it. You just won't have to see the two argue any further.
This eliminates having to do two full mutes and missing any posts, in the event one - or both - are normally people whose posts are ones you're good with reading.
The one catch is that this will expire after three days and like the others will be thread-specific. If they start going at it in another thread, you'll make one click and their interactions will cease to be viewable in the next thread.
I've made some progress on these the last couple of nights but wanted to let you guys know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and that what's been going on here recently certainly isn't lost on me. So hopefully, these two additions, especially the second one, will make life a little better for people in here as we get closer to free agency, the draft, etc.
And as always, any other thoughts, suggestions, are definitely appreciated.
