A new forum feature suggestion:

I just had this "brilliant" idea about a new forum functionality: basically, allowing posters to block anyone in their ignore list to respond to their thread. In this way they would be avoiding any direct attacks by the "enemy" into their territory. However, this is of course not going to stop them to create their own threads aimed at attacking your thread. The main advantage of this system is everyone know who are the battle groups are. Further the aim would be to have your thread above the other one by having as many people as possible to post in it without getting it locked. The one that remains on top for a certain time would win the battle.

Of course I can forsee, variety of ingenious ideas to disrupt your opponents threads. For example a new SL forum job would be created: "Forum assasins or covert operatives" These would be hired mercenaries or your own spies whose purpose would be to infiltrate the opponent threads and cause as much disruption as possible before ending up in the ignore list and getting banned from posting in that thread. You can also imagine other recruits whose purpose would be to promote your ideas in your thread to maintain it on the top of the forum thread list.

Eventually, I suspect this amazing new forum functionality would replace SL as the main form of entertainment for many and could result in new revenue stream for Lindens. For example, Lindens can limit the number of people you can put in your ignore list but then you can purchase more "ignore sims" from them to gain further advantage. I am sure the extraordinarily creative community can further extend on this feature to make the forum battles as complex and strategic as real ones.

Hello. I have been hired on behalf of a certain interested party or parties to inform you that you are dumb, your idea is "teh sucks", and you have a big butt. Thank you and good day.

Edit: Actually, that's an interesting idea, read-only threads. It will never happen though, because all the implementation work could be avoided by people growing the cussword up. And because quite a few people around here would get no replies whatsoever if they could block their nemisises. Nemisae? Nemisi?

How bout a button where you could donate $ to help pay for meds for individuals.

DNA

good suggestion, should be included in the feature

I'll double what they payed, come work for us.

LL does not develop this forum software... go post that on vBulletin's website

I'd like to formally proclaim myself as a Forum Mercenary for hire.

Going to the highest bidder....

pay me in $L only.

(non-sequencial, please)

That would be against the mercenaries' code and everything I stand for. Triple, however...

I can see some ignore wars going on in the sister threads here. I think I am going to copyright my forum feature idea, I think this will sell reall well!
