Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

I agree that admins cannot be filterable.

Also agree that you guys RAWK. Just FTR.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think admins should be filterable.

Shouldn't be allowed to filter, though. Not that that needs to be in code.

However, user id 1, "admin" should be unfilterable.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the MARCIE filter works. Personally, I can't think of anyone I'd want to put on full-time MARCIE, but there might be times I'd use it when three or four people are conducting a conversation I'd prefer not to read.

Done.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Rob - I think the threadsuck should have the option of blocking or not blocking. It should be a checkbox like the "mark as read" thingie.

Sounds good. It's more than a one-line change, though, so it will have to wait until I've got a few hours to dedicate to the task.

I was going to offer to code the threadsuck before you got all showoff-ey. :P

I wouldn't have time until this weekend at the earliest, so go for it if you have time before then.

I can't even.

I closed Buffy Quotable.

Ow. Hurty.

Impressive work on the MARCIEing, y'all. Dreading experiencing the Marcie effect here, though. Natternatternatter Hello? natternatternatter Oh.

What is even happening?

What do people think about either adding a comics thread, or expanding the Jossverse thread to include other comics?
