Include Scrolling In The Word Count

[Theland]

Hey Ed, how about changing the rules to include scrolling in the word count to prevent idiots from messing up the threads?

[Morty Vicar]

Anyway, getting back on topic.......Wouldn't the easiest thing in the world be for the AB Ed or one of her team to simply edit posts to take out scrolling, profanity and abuse? Would that not solve some of the problems?

[netibiza]

How come you know how to spell that word then eh Bad BOO??

[B00]

Well I was reading off the little bottle I have for the cream to cure my itch Neti ;-)

Morty- according to the email smudge has recieved from Ed, they can't do anything about it. So despite most users being naffed off with it all we either have to put up or shut up.

[Morty Vicar]

They have word filters in place to star out certain profanity. It can't be beyond the wit and wisdom of the average programmer to apply those filters to excessive scrolling. Ie to delete more than 4 hard returns in one go.

As for "can't do anything about it" I suspect "won't do anything about it", since over the last 24 hours there have been nigh on 400 posts about this very topic which must be pretty good for advertising.

I suppose you are right though. Put up or shut up. Or leave and find somewhere else.

B00, if syphilis involves a persistently annoying irritation, then it might have been a better analogy.

[netibiza]

No no Octavius - BOO would never have an analogy - she's not that sort of girl! :-)

smudge maybe they let him seen as he speaks to them on phone all the time :-) lol and morty plenty of people have asked ED and as smudge said they cant do anything about it. x

[4getmenot]

or morty just read your post above, you are right if they have filters then it does seem a case of wont. Maybe you could e-mail them exactly what you have out above. x

IF I can't find my glasses then the scrolling strains my eyes. If I see it happening I tend not to read the rest of the thread.

Worse than a hemorrhoid!

[smudge]

Just got in & see that it's still going. Such an interesting topic you've created Leg!


Nite all.

[dot.hawkes]

hello all, the ed has been so quiet lately, I am quite surprused really, as there were meant to be lots of things going on, or am I mixing that up with Corrie?

[sir.prize]

Anyone got a spare sandwich, cos someone in Arona is one short for a picnic

[babybow]

ed has done a runner to another site -cant take all the moaning on this site fair play - who wants to read and deal with all this sh!t everday .

[Theland]

The Ed deserves the break!

[Octavius]

I dunno neti, according to B00 she has all sorts of creams, ointments, lotions and potions for all manner of analogies. One must wonder how she collects them all, or who from.

[netibiza]

Leave it, Octavius! I thinkwe'll not go there!!!

[Octavius]

Well I certainly wouldn't.
