Functionality to remove unneccesary posts from topics

Funcionalidade

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.

Como Sam disse, grande parte da funcionalidade está lá. Embora eu pense que é em parte condicionamento e também expor recursos que podem facilitar as coisas.

Por exemplo, uma configuração de site bastante nova coloca uma seta no canto inferior esquerdo de uma postagem com um número. Quando clicado, ele oculta postagens, exceto aquelas que estão relacionadas à primeira postagem em que você clicou.

Isso é útil não apenas para o membro, mas também para a equipe de moderação, se eles quiserem dividir um tópico… No entanto, pode ser necessária uma opção para inserir postagens posteriormente se o respondente usou o botão de resposta inferior em vez de responder à postagem.
