I know this is over the top, but here it goes. O.K. so let's ask first. Can we maybe have it to where the person that starts a thread has control to ERASE stupid replies/ remarks? I mean don’t close the whole thread down because of a troll, but when someone ask for help or a question, I love reading all the drama and dumb replies (yeah right, and YES I am guilty of those replies too), but come, name calling and stupid remarks are at all time high.

Like this one that was locked - Incredible French AF : Video includ...

That would make everyone a moderator. So...if you disagree with someones reply, then you could delete it (stupid, or not)....I don't think it would work....

There is a fine line the mods walk between intervening, and letting a thread run its natural course.... They have been criticized for being too quick on the trigger, and lately, they have been getting a lot of flak for not being quick enough!!!

Well stated Nony.
BTW....thanks!

Yep they walk a fine line and have alot of work to do, but is there are too many threads are going south just because of stupid replies. I mean it's cool that they don't jump the gun and leave some of them to run their course. But in the other hand If I was to place and add asking for help and suggestions and get the same stupid question four or five times from people that have no clue or just want to post a reply, it gets annoying quickly. Take the F-18 thread for example, that one had the makings of a great thread but how many people have replied asking Ken to use Lipos, come on they never even read that it has been suggested five times already but felt they should suggest that again.

The moron talking about camels and private parts, I am sure that adds a lot to the building/operation or use of jets or any other threads

For the life of me I cannot figure out why people care what someone posts on the internet. If it is not a physical threat, or maybe name calling then who cares.

I think some people with thin skins let other people troll them too much, but it sure is fun to watch.

You do not ever have to worry about him posting here under that user name or many other aliases he has been using in the past.

We went DEFCON-1 on him today and I hope that other would take note.

The moderators here are not bunch of “toothless bulldogs”. We actually take a big bite when cornered.

I walked in those shoes for a couple of different boards a few years ago....

I think some people forget they have choices...you have the choice to read, or not to read........and once having read and identified a really stoopid reply, you have the choice to step over it (like a pile of dog droppings on a sidewalk) and carry on...or you have the choice to sink to their level and respond to it.

There are an amazing number of individuals who hang out in model airplane forums who delight in getting under peoples' skin and watching the reactions they get..........

hmmmm sounds like Matt is someone who i tend to agree with 99.9% of the time .... this is another fine example

The oldest thread I see listed in the Jet Forum is dated 5/15/2004. Do the old posts eventually get purged?

Just above the forum, on the right hand side... set your display from the "30 day" default to "all".
