Masu Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 To have the ability to make topics where only certain people can see them.Like if you wanted to get like 3 specific ppls attention you could make it where only they could see the topic so other ppl who arent involved cant walk in and leave useless/stupid comments when they dont even have a clue what the topic is even about. It seriously gets annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 For one: I don't really think that's possible. For 2: It would encourage a lot of drama and gossip between members that would cause a lot of negative tension between everyone. For 3: Use PMs. Though I guess I understand the concept behind it. It is kinda annoying to have a civil and serious conversation and then someone pops into the page and goes: "BLARG" or something like that. Though that's really just a lack of maturity and restraint on that person's part, and it's really the mod's job to decide what to do with that.

Judge Judy Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Sounds like a good idea but........I have to agree with what Lyle had just said. Just stick to PM ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLSothe Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ehh, I have no idea if it is possible, actually, if it is, that'd be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wist Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I agree with the points put forth by Lyle Dayek. Implementing a feature like this could easily encourage elitism, something that would most probably degrade the forum. It would act as a means of censorship which defeats the purpose of a discussion board. I think it is preferable to wait for comments of little discernible value to be evaluated by a moderator than to restrict peroples' access to specific topics. Personal matters should hopefully not be too difficult to conduct via private messages or other means. Edited September 26, 2008 by Wist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hmm, nah. It's basically like a private chatroom. Use the chat or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'd agree with you MaSu, wouldn't want people's feelings to get hurt.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I have to say, that you should just make topics like normal, and if a post is spam on your serious discussion, just report it. Mods can always delete it, maybe not at the pace you desire, but it has an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I thought I already posted here. :3 I think it's stupid, and the reasons have already been said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
