It;s in this thread.
October 26, 2014 at 4:34 pm #10492Eternal RamnationParticipantHave at it.
Who has a silver lining?
ZN I am not liking having my posts micro managed. The comment “and Barnes” makes even less sense than usual when you move it to from the OL thread and lump it in with the post game venting stuff.The silver lining is this minor annoyance got my mind off the 2 hour abomination I just watched.

Well, we combine threads that are on the same topic. If it’s time to re-think that, then, that;s fair. In this case, your complaint about “and Barnes”–I fixed that with an edit. I didn’t notice that before.
There’s 2 ways this works. One is, all threads just stay. If someone starts a thread, it just has its own life and lifespan. But then threads go off the page faster, and you see 1-2 at best reply threads on page 2 no one looks for, with new 1-2 response threads on the same topic on page 1. If you combine threads that are posted close together on the same topic–like reactions to the KC game on game day, for example–more participate and there’s more action and conversation, and things don’t move off the 1st page as fast. The danger there, of course, is that someone may think they’re just being pushed around, plus it gets down to the judgement of the combiner.
OR if you would prefer I move your post back out as a separate thread about OL injuries, just ask. That’s easy.
So is this a one-time thing? Or is it a genuinely a board issue? I can set us up to discuss it as a board if that’s how you feel.
Let me know. That’s sincere.
October 26, 2014 at 6:15 pm #10502znModeratorWell actually ER it’s worse than you said.
I got a brain glitch and thought you had started the OL injuries thread. I thought you were complaining that your follow-up post was then orphaned. I fixed it, I thought, by combining your 2 posts and then deleting the orphan.
And I double-checked. You didn’t start the OL thread. CG did. So … I didn’t combine YOUR 2 posts. What can I say, I F’ed up, and am embarassed. You’re important regular poster and I hope I didn’t offend you.
So that’s a double screw-up. One, yeah, the OL injuries thread did not belong in the post-game thread. That was a little insensitive on my part.
Then when I thought I fixed the orphan thing, I made it worse.
So, my sincere apologies.
It was just a brain glitch day. I can only apologize again. It wasn’t just bad judgement, it was ordinary dumbassery.
Unless people think otherwise, I think that combining threads on the same topic–particularly when we have multiple news articles on the same thing–is a good idea.
Sometimes combining conversation threads is a good idea.
But from now on, I will be much slower to do it and more selective. Time for a little more anarchy (that’s said with fun sincerity, it’s not ironic.)
Fair enough?
If you don’t think it’s not fair enough–speak up. This thread is about honesty.
October 26, 2014 at 6:52 pm #10512Eternal RamnationParticipantZn my old friend I said minor annoyance,not anything to make a big deal I just thought I should tell you know about it. Thank’s for the apology but really no apology is necessary

You do get that I ended up stupidly deleting your “Barnes” post. That’s the 2nd mistake I was trying to explain. If it were just a moved thread that needed to be un-moved, I would think, okay, zn, take your time and be more selective combining threads next time. But I glitched every step of the process and ended up with an improperly deleted post.
So I don’t know if I am apologizing so much as just confessing to being “guilty on account of temporary dumbassery.”
October 28, 2014 at 4:00 pm #10669GreatRamNTheSkyParticipantI have to admit I find the combining of threads annoying. Hard to find stuff I’ve posted and see any responses when they’ve been moved around like that.
Grits

I will scale it back. Thanks for speaking up.
But in turn, give this some thought. Posters should try not to keep adding new threads on topics that are already going. So now and then, try to just add to ongoing topics that are already about what you want to discuss.
October 28, 2014 at 6:38 pm #10692wvParticipantPersonally, i like the merging of posts
into threads on the same subject.
It keeps older posts relevant, etc.So, as usual, different views on this.
