this is not the first time i see some dork doing this kind of thing around here.
if you are a user of the "new posts" button as I am, this completely clutters all the board.

It certainly isn't spam.

You can set your bookmark to exclude all the sections you don't visit or don't want to see. That way, you will still see new posts, but only from the sections you want to see. There is a number in the URL after each section, so just edit my search string with your own sections and viola.

For example, Newsgroups is:


http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-newsgroups-79/

Here is mine:


http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/search-getnew/&exclude=15,43,62,80,90,106,107,108,120,137,146,154,158

Na, he's talking about that spastic mateimircea who has a bazillion "ty" posts.

And you're right. It certainly isn't spam, it's retardation.

It shouldn't be allowed to post outside the BT section where you expect to find these kind of useless entities.

212 posts that say nothing but "ty" certainly is spam.

Obviously I thought he was referring to something else entirely.

There isn't much to do about thank you's in the NZB section though. They happen, a lot. It's part of the section.

This particular instance was obviously fluff though seeing as it was every NZB and some of them were the same show, only different release groups. I've PM'd the member and asked that he keep his thank you's to a minimum in the future.

say "thanks" or "ty" is never enough! but that can be solve with a "thanks button" on every thread 1º post that people think useful. There are threads like those that could be implemented. is just a thought.

We used to have a "Thanks" button. I don't know why it was removed though. :unsure:

We did not.:blink:

Might introduce one for the newsgroups section.;)
I'd rather NOT have thank you posts, only so that we can then have some real discussions in the nzb threads.:)

well, could be a matter of a new review from staff or discussion with all members though.

sounds good. of course that there should be a selection of thread sections to have that option.

How soon you forget.... :P

Yes, we did have a Thanks button, (I'm 99.9% sure) then the thanks was automated and reduced to a number. (Number of Thanks: 6)

You don't remember that? :huh:

I remember b/c I was the one who recommended it in order to cut down on the "thank you" posts. :pinch:

Think adding a Thank You button is fine if rossco has time to do it. It would also set other posts to be more noticable...

Why not not just add a thanks button to the forum ? Problem solved .


Sorry I should have read the" hole" post , some forums get pissed off as the comment is supposed to be for quality of video , sound , missing rars or what not . Who gives a fuck if some noob says thank you ? I like it myself when I'm acknowledged for the hard work .

Grate. Now, how do I make the "thanks"-bit under my postcount not visible?

done.
That was ugly wasn't it.:frusty:


So the thank you button is now installed for the newsgroups and guides forums.
Maybe we should edit it to be "good luck button" in the bt invite forums and "lol button" in the funny stuff section.
