so does that mean that the option to hide t&t in the latest posts page isn't going to be added ?

i think this should happen, there may also be less spam, because spammers usually just go into view latest posts and search for t&t, cause they're too dumb to actually press Testing and Trashing :)

I realy don't get that, WDZ....

T&T wont be excluded from the forum, if that is what you mean... The option (default: off) will be in the users CP. The user can choose to hide/show the T&T threads in the "latest post" page if they visit that page....

It's not an option that you must tick/untick whenever you create a new T&T thread, so that thread wont/will show up....

It's a local option for the user only, so he can decide if he want to include/exclude all the T&T threads in the "latest posts" when he visits that page.

Spammers are still free to not change that option so that they will see T&T threads in "latest posts" (proberly they wont even know that the option exists).....

When the server load hits a particular level, or whatever thing maybe causing speed issues; T&T should reply when a tempoarily disabled message IMO.

Maybe I am mistaken, maybe not.
WTF?!

If he doesnt want to add something thats his choice. WDZ would be programming the feature, if he doesnt want to do it thats his right. Supporting spammers? Bullshit.

Cookie: I know all that. :-/ I voted "no" because I personally want T&T on my latest posts page. Looks like I've been out-voted though. :p

the suggestion is to have an option in which you can decide whether or not to show T&T in the your "latest post" page. this means that some users could see T&T and other members who decide to turn on the option to hide T&T would not see it in the "latest post" page

I KNOW :lol:

My vote means "I don't want it personally," not "I don't want anyone to have it" :p

Anyways, I've got latest.php open in my editor right now... I've been wanting to make some improvements to the code, so I might as well get 2 things done at once. :) Don't be surprised if latest.php is unavailable for a while later...

IMO, the poll is very dodgy.
Both options are too radical. I didn't vote since I don't agree with any of them.
Thus Kafman got confused. WDZ didn't actually mean he is a spammer. But he voted "NO, I'm a spammer and I want to annoy everybody with my useless stuff..."... :dodgy:

The poll options are spam themselves :refuck:
