Stopping further additions to thread

And I call it having the last word ?

I can often kill a thread for some reason.

I can do that too Calli seems it is my special skill.
Sometimes I look at ‘I’m on’ and there I am, the last name on every thread.
Killed stone dead!

And here's me thinking I was the kiss of death on most threads I post on - phew !!

Me too. I don't feel so bad now.

Lucca ‘I would have kicked him out’.
Just a short sentence.

Hilarious

Emojis can be really aggressive.

Yes, the general gist was ‘eugh, what are you doing that for?’

They certainly didn't channel Garfield on the lasagne thread

Oh it was! Plus rather rude

Or this, in lieu of an actual argument; opinion; or indeed words
?????

Re my unhelpful and irrelevant comment offence; if I remember correctly Lucca, your ‘lasagne’ thread was an absolute barnstorming masterclass of this

A very long sentence for the “ I have far better things to do “ or “I have a life so I’m not discussing this any more “ comments

I would find it draconian. Interesting HQ are looking into doing this but not taking up any of the other suggestions we made.

I just don't read any thing that is rambling too much, life is too short. The problem as I see it is that if GN cut any thread short there will be " hell to pay" by some. It shouldn't be their choice.

Re the gaol.
Another thread offence: posting an irrelevant, deeply boring and unhelpful message

Thread about cats?
‘I’ve never had a cat’

Thread about styling curly hair?
‘I straighten mine! Why don’t you?’

Thread about upsetting argument with DIL?
‘Fortunately I’ve never had a problem with my dil. We’re like sisters ’

Actually so do I….but the gaol thing is fun

Why not just ignore threads. I do find this suggestion peculiar.

I think there should be a thread gaol

A gransnet gaol ! Like it.
Three years for not ever reading the thread.
Eg OP asks what they should do about Problem A
Various posters suggest seeing the CAB.
OP returns and say Ta very much I’ve been to the CAB and the problem has been solved.
Then follow pages of comments advising OP to consult the CAB.

Any other misdemeanours requiring gaol ?

(Maybe writing “I would of kicked him out “ instead of “I would have kicked him out”?). Just a short sentence probably.

I guess with the further additions you could always totally ignore that thread. If you only look at recent ones they disappear pretty quickly anyway. Thanks SC for the ‘tip’.

I found it on the mobile site under 'Customise'

Thank you again.

It worked but I don't know how to find that thread again.
It wasn't important, a meetup in an area far from me.
Has it gone forever?

Thanks SpringyChicken

I'm going to try that too

Annsixty, you need to be on the mobile site to hide discussions. You can visit the mobile site from you laptop, tablet or computer ( it is not exclusive to mobile phones).

To do this,
1. Scroll down to the very bottom of this page and click on "View mobile site".

2. On the page that then appears, look to the top right. There is an orange box marked "Inbox". Immediately below that you will see a red/purple circle with a downward arrow. Click on it.

3. You will be offered "Hide this discussion". Click it.

Open another discussion you wish to hide, then follow steps 2 and 3.

4. Finally, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "View desktop site" to return to the desktop site.

I think there's a way of hiding threads, annsixty but I don't know how.
Someone else may know how to do this.

There is one thread I would dearly love to see no longer on active for several reasons, one of them very personal.
I don’t suppose it would find favour with the powers that be but it would perhaps help me if I could explain my feelings and reasoning to HQ.
Does anyone else have similar feelings about particular threads?
