Thread capabilities...

[NickMiddleton]

Further to the meandering of the Q&A thread, what sort of controls does the board software used here afford us?

For example, would it be possible to create a specific thread (or redefine the Q&A thread) as a "moderator approval required" thread, such that posts only appeared if a mod approved them? A pain for the mods, but it would allow them to directly "weed" the thread, and for it to retain its focus?

If nothing else, a modicum of imposed discipline would do us all some good in terms of helping reinforce good posting etiquette...

Cheers,

There's no function like that for individual threads, only individual forums and subforums. It's not something I would have liked to start up either. I think Jason's solution was a good one, just answering questions as they pop up in different threads.

But... Let me see if I can't find something else.

A back to topic smiley!



But it nods... I hate animated smileys!
I'll make it stop nodding, you see!

EDIT: There we go!
