Functionality to remove unneccesary posts from topics

Continuing the discussion from Multisite configuration with Docker:

I love Discourse and first want to just say ‘thanks’ to you guys for your work on an excellent application.

But…

Gahh, I hate having to say that…but, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed when I read some Discourse threads - for example the one I’ve linked to above (multisite configuration).

Over time these threads get cluttered. For example, with the thread I added below:

I’m wondering how you guys envision folks consuming this post in the best way possible currently…and if you have any ideas for how to make it more easily consumed in the future?

I’d suggest that a “cleaning” mechanism of some sort would be quite handy. For example, the above thread I made is old news. It really is pretty useless - @riking made the necessary edit - the related posts are now “useless.”

A cleaning mechanism might work something like this (and I’m just spitballing here trying to be helpful :))

  • One could select a thread of posts and “collapse” them. They would remain part of the same thread, in the same location, but individuals would click on them collapsed version to expand and see the full thread. This way the info. is still accessible, but isn’t cluttering up what’s really important.
  • One could have a “break into new topic” option that would pull off this specific sub-thread into a new topic…err, it should probably be an old topic, otherwise everyone would see this useless info. as unread when they next visited the site.
  • The moderator could just delete the clutter.
  • Users could be responsible for deleting their own clutter.

Pretty much all the above exists, its just a question of discipline applying the existing tools.

正如 Sam 所说，大部分功能都已实现。尽管我认为这部分是由于用户习惯和功能暴露，但这些功能可以使事情变得更容易。

例如，一个相当新的站点设置会在帖子的左下角显示一个带有数字的箭头。点击它会隐藏帖子，只保留与你点击的第一个帖子相关的帖子。

这不仅对会员来说很方便，对版主团队来说也很方便，如果他们想拆分一个话题的话……然而，如果响应者使用的是底部的回复按钮而不是帖子回复，则可能需要一个稍后插入帖子的选项。
