A snapshot of the Greatest page: 233 GD-P threads, and only 122 non-GD-P threads... |
|
I used the {search for "primaries" and highlight them} method. This actually undercounts the GD-P threads because of news stories about, e.g. "Canadians defend Obama", "Gov. Christ weighs in on Dem delegates".
:rant: Please, Please, moderators - SAVE ME FROM THIS FOUNTAIN OF SHIT. Give me a tool to eliminate GD-P from the Greatest page. Please. :argh:
I have tried to get along with your greatly appreciated filtering of these posts into GD-P. But, as the statistics in the title show, it simply isn't enough.
As I have said in the past, this primary horseshit is a Distributed Denial of Service attack upon those of us who come to DU for purposes other than adolescent name-calling and meaningless wanking about their groupie object of worship.

1. Sorry. They believe anything about Obama is THE GREATEST. |
|
There is no sense of proportion whatsoever.

5. That does NOT work for me. When I go to Preferences, it only says it will block Latest... |

it says nothing about Greatest, and indeed, Greatest is still infested.
Here is what I see on my preferences page:
Hide General Discussion: Primaries from the Latest page? Selecting "yes" will remove threads from GD: P from the Latest page
Am I doing something wrong? Looking at the wrong preferences?

I'm not sure if you're a donor or not, but if it doesn't work, then perhaps that it is the reason.........good luck, cause I couldn't handle all the trash on the Greatest page.

11. I agree with that. I just want to be able to completely ignore it. And, it seems, I can. |
|
Let the groupies and insult artistes post there. Let them rip each other to shreds.
No disagreement from me.

15. Whatever happened to the idea of making GD-P threads INELIGIBLE for the Greatest Page? |
|
Seems to me just about everybody here was on board with that suggestion when it came up a few weeks back.
Overwhelming opinion, not to mention a pronounced request for action by membership, should count for something I should think.
The Greatest Page should be just that - stories and posts that have a shelf life of MORE than 5 minutes.

16. While I agree, what we have now is workable. The preference setting eliminates GD-P from Greatest. |
|
Think of it as two separate Greatest pages. One for wankers, and one for people with a life.
