O.P. Dodgy  [request] Option to turn on/off T&T in "Latest Posts"
Can there be something done about T&T???
In the "Latest Posts"-page (which I use all the time) there are 17 T&T threads, and this is an average. It's because of all the useless "I'm bored threads".

People just spamming there for the heck of it, and I'm getting realy annoyed by it. And don't say: "don't read the threads", because the threads show up on that page where other usefull threads could be instead...
Everyday, some spammers are creating new useless T&T threads that will contain a couple of posts and then they will move on in creating yet another thread, etc... :@


So my question, can there be an option in the User CP to turn on/off showing T&T threads in the "Latest Posts"-page?


Note: I'm not requesting to remove T&T... T&T will still exist, you could choose to enable/disable it so that it wont show in the "Latest Posts"-page anymore. You still can go to T&T of course.

As a spammer, I feel like other people should have the right to have a spam-free latest posts and it would make it easier and quicker to help people when I'm in a non-spammish mood...

They get moved for a reason.

Maybe that's exactly why Cookie wants it gone?

If people wouldn't spam so much and post actual on-topic, usefull things, nothing will be moved... this isn't a spam-board, this is a support-board...

Exactly....



And T&T wouldn't be gone, it would still be there, you can still spam, only it wouldn't show up in the "Latest Posts"-page...

But it's optional and some people feel that they may only want to help rather than filter the distress calls from the piles of garbage

Well i like the idea, an option to show the posts or not would be useful i think. (especially when the forums are busy)


Good suggestion Cookie (Y)

Yes , This is a great suggestion Cookie (Y)

I thought of it also myself but never posted it. They take up the veiw lastest posts page and then you can't see if new members posted asking for help or anything!
