A "HIDE THREAD" button is all we need. Then everyone can be as selective as they'd like to be, without changing the overall Wild West format of ST.

Further expounding on my suggestion, not only would a "Hide Thread" button have the least impact on ST's structure, it would probably be the easiest to implement. I've seen lots of suggestions, in this thread and elsewhere, for subforums, but that seems like a nightmare to me at this point. As of a count 3 minutes ago there are 72,201 threads here. Would someone have to sort through them and pick which goes where or would everything before a cutoff be grandfathered in one subforum after another, and how many subforums would we need? Just "on topic" and "off topic"? Where would the line be drawn? Some are obvious, but others (the outdoor photography threads springs to mind) could go either way.

Right on Tami! And if a post/person gets 3 "Shutups" on a post or within 24 hours, they're unable to post for 1 week....(or some such wing clipping...)

I posted earlier on this thread, mentioned some personal difficulties, my email Cmac regarding OT, even some rock pix and some of me climbing, I wish I could post more climbing stuff, TRs, photos (back when I did a lot of climbing, 1969-1982 or so didn't really lug around a camera, wish I had even a small kodak or something, instead of the very nice SLR my mom bought me.)

Now the cameras aare so small with high quality, easy peasy to carry on a climb.

But alas, Jennie's illness has caused me to curtail a lot of my plans, tick lists and dreams. But she is worth it. Not only climbing (first love), but sailing and scuba too. Hope she returns back into my care from the nursing home. Don't know. But I would give all my pursuits to have her return happy and healthy.

Most of the OT thread are fine, many informative, some do deteriorate.

I am going to start a thread now, on online payments actually I was not phished but my debit card was used somehow while I was in hospital. I find that there are a lot of net/tech savvy people on the Taco Stand, many times giving better and more simpler advice that Apple forums, or other tech forums.

The irony being that if a "Hide Thread" button is ever implemented, this thread is also getting hidden. ;)

CMAC, here is an example of on OT thread "so far off" that it doesn't belong. A delusional racist stirring up the racism pot on this climbing site.

Edit: I do not want supertopo to be only about climbing topics. That would be superboring.

This person is a one man wrecking crew for the Supertopo forum. Giving him the boot would be the single most positive change. Until that is done, all else is window dressing.

Why should he read it?

He already knows you're all insane!!!

Stooopid loons can't stop posting in those threads you hate instead ya all keep bumping them up.

No fuking self control at all instead ya blame everything outside of yerselves.

Just point the finger at someone other than yerself is this stoopid forum policy here.

There's no hope fer yaa all, yer certifed goners.

There's no medicine that exists for ya.

You'll all be reborn as forum data bit monkeys in yer next lives .....

There is some truth in what you post Werner, but you ignore that we all live on this planet together. So we all collectively have to deal with the karma each person produces. Example.. even if you don't litter, others do. Ignoring it doesn't make it stop. Though in Ron's case, neither does yelling at him. which is why I deleted my posts to him.

independent individualistic thought is being heavily monitored and squashed in our society by ones who wish to control and enslave


rock climbers tend to be strong independent intelligent individuals, which makes it worthwhile to participate in discussions on SuperTopo


so it is predictable to see the SuperTopo owner under fire from controller insiders attempting to quash independent thought in our society...
