Bible Question:
Dear Lockman and Forum Colleagues, I noticed that many months ago, there was some discussion about implementing some sort of moderation on this forum. It also appeared that this was eventually dropped due to valid concerns about censorship and how it would be regulated. I would like to propose a possibility which I think would be very helpful for this forum, yet would not sacrifice anyone's free expression. My suggestion would only be possible for the hosts at Lockman to accomplish. It is to delete any duplicated posts. There are many of these, and I don't think anyone would be offended if they were taken off. In the cases where there were seperate answers to each of the duplicates, I would suggest simply combining those threads. This could also be done with threads that were not "exact duplicates" but were essentially the same. Unfortunately, this would require a small amount of interpretation, however, I think it would be very helpful for people looking for answers to have everything in one thread. What does everyone think of this idea? Would any of you mind if you're duplicate posts were deleted, or if highly similar threads were combined? |
Bible Answer: Dear Sir- I get frustrated with the duplicate posts, also, but there could be worse problems. If there was an economical way to eliminate them it would be wonderful. I think the idea of replying to questions that have been dealt with in the past by a referel (AND YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A SPELL CHECK!)to former threads is a good one, but having someone responsible to combine similar threads could cause problems.
