A delete feature would be great...perhaps allowed only if no one replies to a post.

I think that could have a wider blast radius than intended.
I've been thinking about some ways to cut down the political posts, for those who prefer not to see them, so we can encourage other topics of discussion.
One thought I had is to use AI to classify every new thread that is started with a label, and then give posters the ability to opt out of seeing certain topics they aren't interested in (ie: "politics").

This is promising but would need to
BaronVonZemo64663 postsaddress the problem of people within the thread converting it into a political issue.
You have posters here whose sole goal is to spread their political agenda. They take an innocuous thread and tangentially turn it into a political commentary.
Replies within the thread would also need to be monitored for political intent. If you can do that, this sounds great & would be appreciated.

I appreciate your efforts. It’s not easy.
As we have discussed , there are posters who just don’t like each other.
It goes beyond politics.
If I put someone on Ignore it is to avoid a Persona-lity conflict.
I still like to discuss politics with reasonable people like Hiba. We can disagree and do so cordially and with humor.
Keep up the good work, Kyle! The improvements are much appreciated.

Just for the record, Hensou...you are not shy about falsely calling other posters a "Liar" without
any backup...that's hypocritical...and anything but "Cordial".

This thread started out as a mistaken post by me. I edited it to this, but...
...I would have liked to have just deleted it.
I don't think I worded my suggestion as carefully as I could have. I wasn't thinking about deleting other people's posts.

There is a delete feature, trust me, I know. I have a running count.
(no message)I hold the record for most deleted posts. +155. Favorite posters must be protected! -

Unfortunately it could actually add some clutter.
A true propagandist will respond to his own post to keep it alive. Other propagandists may chime in to support the original propagandist.
I’m cool either way. If my posts don’t get a response, most times I self edit and replace it with something else or leave an asterisk.
You could also use the Ignore function if you felt the offenders are the same people.

Seconded. We all occasionally have them but it would esp unclutter a LOT of junk propaganda posts
BaronVonZemo64663 postsIf you put a time frame on a post - say a generous 12 hours. I can't imagine anyone here who is posting for the sake of discussion would object if no one wanted to discuss their point. The only people that would object would be people who are motivated to put a message out...ie propagandists.

Maybe the opposite. A slight bit more to do - deleting solo posts after a reasonable time frame.

Not a good idea...too many examples of solid, substantive posts downvoted but not replied to...
