    I agree. Also, don't bump them.

    Which is exactly what mark is doing.

    Or were those baba threads? Hard to keep track these days.

    A more effective solution would involve Starguard and a fire.

    ^^Did I pull my 1911A1 out of my sock drawer and force you to read them with me?
    The easiest thing to do is if you see a thread by a poster you don't like, skip it. Or place them on ignore. I generally skip them myself as I believe the ignore function is for large weeping vagina's.

    The Ignore function doesn't work in this case. It only applies to posts, not threads. You still have to sort through his clusterfuck of threads.

    He posts a bunch of threads, but it's not like he pulls an Enterpriser and regularly bumps them all, and it's also not like more than the occasional one of them gets more than a handful of responses. Maybe Scorponok, Ramen, and Sokar are too retarded to be able to navigate that, but surely you can.

    We shouldn't have to "navigate" that mess.

    By all rights, the DSTs should drop on down to the bottom of the page and disappear, but a few have decided to crusade in the name of dumbassery and bump those threads, maintaining the clusterfuck.

    It's not a freedom of speech issue. I'll support the right of anyone on this board to state their opinion, no matter how much I may agree or disagree with it. This is a matter of clusterfucking the board up with a bunch of bullshit spam threads to the point that you actually do have to navigate your way through the bullshit.

    There have always been threads that I want to discuss in and threads that I really don't want to discuss or don't have an opinion on. I think that's probably true for most, if not all of us. Now, on top of that, you have a dozen or so crappy Starguard and Baba threads to pick through.

    I've generally been one of Baba's supporters, but one board retard at a time is enough.
