If not a moderator then our forum needs a way for users to exclude threads. Once logged in they can tag certain threads not to show up. Although a libertarian, this is one time I'd vote for socialism and have a supreme moderator to nuke the BS in the name of the greater good.
Anyone web programmers out there that would care to volunteer their service to C Mac so there isn't any $ issue ?
How does the female ejaculation posting belong here? Why is it still here? Why isn't it treated like spam? etc....

Back by popular demand.
I think I posted this in "ST forum needs a moderator" versions III, V, VI, VII, X, XI, XIV, CXI and MCCXXXVIII.
Here it is again!
Chris built this virtual deli. Most people come sit at the tables, get drunk, chat, argue, and occasionally buy one of his sandwiches.
Some people come to the deli just for the world-famous sandwiches, but they get really peeved that so many tables are filled with people that yak endlessly about things other than sandwiches. Even though there is an endless supply of tables, even though they don't have to sit and listen to the others, and even though they are free to talk about sandwiches as much as they want--with only the occasional and minor interruption--to them it just doesn't seem right. They say things like, "how dare they, this place is about sandwiches, dammit!" and "this is a travesty, there oughta be a law". They desperately desire that the guy at the other table, who used to be a master sandwich maker, would confide in them all the mysterious sandwich making arcana they so desperately crave, but alas it is not to be, he only speaks of fishsticks, fudgesickles and the Atkin's diet.
Meanwhile, Chris--who says things like, "I just wanna give back to the sanwich eatin' comminunitty, cuz ya know, gee whiz, aw shucks, sanwich eatin' has given so much to me,"--is out as much as possible eating, eating, eating the sandwiches of the world--research he calls it--while at the same time buying property like crazy in the red-hot Tahoe market, when of a sudden he gets a call from the deli manager. It turns out the suggestion box has had a few impassioned complaints about people who wilfully refuse to talk about sandwiches.
Chris must make an appearance, because these are the dorks who buy three sandwiches: one to eat now, one to eat later, and one to be kept cryogenically frozen at home and displayed with reverence to all who visit.
But Chris must proceed carefully if he is to continue his "research" and maintain his portentous property portfolio; on the one hand he must calm the minority dweebs, but on the other hand he cannot be too vociferous lest he drive off the masses that, while definitely less sandwichcentric, actually do buy more sandwiches, all tolled, than their bumbly brethren.
As usual Chris manages, with his endearing Richie Cunninghamesque charm to bring peace to the deli, and one and all proclaim that C-Mac is our "Sandwich Hero".

I thought the ejaculation thread was a huge improvement over the sackless leap bolt chopping drivel.

I like Lennox' extended metaphor. Rumour has it that even the best climbers sometimes talk about other things than climbing. They even have been known to talk with (sensible) non-climbers. Can you believe it?
Alternatively, the sandwich place could be renamed Samurai Delicatessen, which might make things rather interesting.

kev, nothing except time and energy prevents you from identifying and contributing to climbing threads of interest to you, even retrieving and reviving some of the many long-dormant classic threads. If you have something worthwhile to say, and others are interested, then non-climbing threads will be bumped down and down and down.
Random bumping is less constructive - try to have something to say. You can always search for a keyword for a subject of interest to you, have a look at threads with that word, and add to those of interest.
Bear in mind that ST has adopted the big tent approach, and even tolerates political and religious threads. We're slowly educating those folks to limit the number of their threads, which helps.

Someone must be able to make a hack that erases people...maybe Jt512(from rc.com....), even though he doesn't use this site. I'll ask him....

I like sandwiches.....they're not much to talk about, though, unless you're Arthur Dent.
Thanks for that, Scott.

Wait to finish thoughts before posting up, Kev.
"Way to exclude," it's in the eye/brain/finger complex, we all have it. "It's not, rocket science."
Note that only maybe 4 people have ever seen the contents of the "Calash" threads...

If you don't like it, don't open it. You have the power to ignore anything you want.

"Rumour has it that even the best climbers sometimes talk about other things than climbing."...
I cannot speak with any authority as to what the best climbers do. On the other hand, I am an expert on what old, washed-up, never-was climbers do.

I'm tired of seeing them in the top 30 posts. Be nice if they could be filtered out....
Mighty Hiker,
Seems like you don't look at that many climbing posts. I've been posting a fair amount of climbing related stuff. FA pics, etc...
And doing it every week - so I'm not so sure what you're saying!
Infact I've got little historically on OT topics. Prolly at least 2 std devs from the norm here.

Think of it from a product manager's perspective:
How much incremental revenue will we obtain, or how much of existing revenue at risk will be protect, by implementing the requested features?
Hmmm... I don't see that some nice-to-have features with no ROI are going to be implemented soon.
