Making unwanted threads move down the list out of sight

Starting lots of new threads on different topics (choose from topic list at www.gransnet.com/forums ) and keeping those topped up would seem the best option. Like this one.

The worst option is to go onto the thread/threads and posting your opinion of the poster who started it/them - that just makes sure that it stays at the top of the list and annoys even more people.

Just posting to bump this and knock the others down the list.

Just don’t post on them. Every comment keeps them near the top.

Yes, but it takes ages of posting new stuff to move them off! Will persevere ....... though I should be heading into town to return library books before I go away! 📖 📕

The threads on "Last hour" are listed with the latest first, under each of the various topics. AIBU is the first topic alphabetically, so it is first.

If there were no new threads under AIBU since the offending one (as there were not until very recently) then without adding a new AIBU thread, or posting on existing ones, the threads from this African spammer would have stayed at the very top of the whole list.

That was the point of starting new AIBU threads as well as posting on any and all other threads.

The ACTIVE button lists all threads, whatever their topic, with the ones with the latest post first, but the LAST HOUR button lists them under topics. You can choose which.

The offending threads have now moved down to reasonable positions on both buttons.
