Imagine a board where old threads /cannot/ be bumped to the top by latecomers, but only to the top of the /second/ page in a page list and not at all to the 'unread' list unless its a 'new replies to your posts'.

Imagine a board where private fights in old threads  /cannot/ be watched update-by-update by non-involved parties without specifically digging for them at each post.

That is what I mean by out-of-sight-out-of-mind: the automatic  elimination of  public spectacle and latecomer zombie threads in the non-directed sections of  the board.         No mods.

Sort of like sageru on 2ch except probably even more aggressive.

Personally, I still see the potential for extremely hateful nastiness. I vote for Fred's idea, after he formulates decrees it.

Not on my server.

I don't think you can eliminate such nastiness without extreme content control.

I merely propose to /contain/ it in ways completely new to most posters here, that would also directly attack several Internet cliches, such as the out-of-context indignant zombie thread revival 2 years later, and public flame wars.

Board stays clean, chat is private, and well, I can have more fun again? :)

Touchy Stuff never stays in it's place, keeps tracking stuff out of the celler all over Iago's fine carpets.  Much as I miss TT, I can't say as I blame him for wanting to keep it out of chat.  Besides, the nature of chat precludes taking a deep breath, going away and reading a book before coming back and posting a reply. 

El Diablo:
Yeah, i just thought if you signed up for it and was held accountable for it, you didn't have any room to bitch.

But Fred pays for the hosting, so what he wants he should get. I'm a firm believer in "It's my living room and I'll shoot you if you piss me off". Even if I am the one shot.
