  Re: Worst of the worst
 
Agreed! (but not spotlighted!) I just went through announce.moc and highlit a few items, maybe we can push the unpleasentness off the front page. (18 years ago, 16-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Worst of the worst
 
(...) I really think this is something that LUGNET members can sort out... if they really want it sorted out. 'Worst of the worst' has three spotlights... and it is in the main page highlights. How difficult can it be to spotlight ten things more (...) (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX) !! 
 
  Re: Worst of the worst
 
(...) I don't think NNTP supports moving either, but even if it did, it would be unlikely to work, as people using SMTP/NNTP already have the message with its old headers, including the newsgroups, so when they reply it would still go to the old (...)

  Re: Worst of the worst
 
(...) Good point, Jeff - actually something like that appears ideal: User opinions are very important when it comes to the spotlight feature, so we probably want exactly this option: To be able to move a topic out of the spotlight upon request, or (...)

(...) Hi Jerry, Would it be possible to move threads? If so you could have a naughty threads section .off-topic.threads or something similar which people could ignore and which would remove the problem for NNTP and web users? Tim (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Worst of the worst
 
(...) What about making the server reject any new posts to a thread, either through the web or NNTP? It again wouldn't be the most elegant solution, but I'd imagine it would be doable. (...) I think the easiest way would be adding some negative (...) (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Worst of the worst
 
(...) Okay, here's the big issue: LUGNET is based on an NNTP server, and the news system does not support such a thing as thread locking, since threads are only made up by matching subjects (and some header info) in the very first place.

  Re: Worst of the worst
 
Would an admin please either: 1) ban these folks who want to make their personal squabbles (on other boards!) public here? OR 2) at least remove this thread from the front page spotlight? Barring that, please edit the home page to remove the tag (...) (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.people.support, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  enough useless noise. (was: simple inquiry (was: Worst of the worst))
