26 vs 0 at this point.

I don't see how it could be difficult at all to just change that one feature. I bet some of my friends could do it in less than 5 minutes.

This was added a few years ago as a quick way of removing offending material (such as pornography). We had a number of cases where someone signed up and posted a load of offensive images in different threads and rather than a moderator having to go through and manually remove each one, the ban system was set so that a permaban would just hide all posts from that user.

I agree that this feature isn't really necessary anymore and this is something we can remove when we update the site.

Thanks!

The poll won't show the results, why lol? I agree, kinda stupid to remove all posts, probably the only forum where such thing exists.

^^I can see them fine, it's 94.59% of voters don't want posts removed (option 1)

I think they should only be removed if its a permaban



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Bad idea, because then old threads in which the person participated in a non-offensive manner would be disrupted, too (=replies would make no more sense).

The best idea is to make viewing offending posts optional.

I think the option to quickly hide all content would be an excellent feature to have

AS AN OPTION

but it definitely shouldn't be default.

 

And I also think there should be a button on hidden posts that allows you to view them. If the post is extremely offensive (IE, gory or includes nudity), then it can just be deleted all-out. There's no real reason to keep THOSE around. Any "topic coherence" that could possibly be protected is completely unnecessary.
