Suggestions?

[Jayne]

I have thought of something.  Would it be possible to have a rule about not posting pictures of dead babies and children?  Usually these are in politics threads that I don't read, but sometimes I am skimming through posts and I see them.  It is very distressing for me and perhaps some others feel this way.

We already have spoiler tags.  People can just use those and put a warning ahead of it, if such pictures are really that distressing.

I would appreciate this very much.

Is there anyway that one could opt out of following threads after posting in them? Sometimes I would like to comment in certian threads but dont because I dont want to follow it forever.
Also...MORE SMILIES

YES

I think this has been brought up before and if I recall correctly I don't think there's a way to opt out of a thread.  Perhaps the boss could way in and let us know for sure.

Thank you.

Edited to add: Unfortunately, spoiler tags don't work for images.

should frustrated members be banned due to what they say about the man with the weakest claim to the papacy yet in the post-Conciliar era?

Yes, "frustrated members" should be banned if their criticism of the Vicar of Christ is over the top.  This is not a sede forum but a trad forum which allows sedes, unless Kasekopf has changed things while I've been busy this week at Ancestry.com, in part dealing with someone who posted content defaming a Russian Orthodox saint and the Roman Catholic Church. 

People who are banned from SD have done a lot to get themselves banned.  "Frustrated members" should curb their tempers, think twice about what they've written about the Holy Father, asking themselves if they've stayed within the rules when they're complaining about him, before clicking the "Post" button. 

What gives you the idea that Pope Francis is "the man with the weakest claim to the papacy yet in the post-Conciliar era?"

Pope Francis was elected by a Conclave of Cardinals and, with the obvious exception of St. Peter, that's the only claim to the papacy any Pope has ever had.

The only things unusual about his election are that he's the first Latin American Pope and that his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, retired for health reasons while most Papal reigns end with the Pontiff's deaths.  Other Popes have retired, just not in recent centuries.

This is not going to turn into a sede vs. sedeplenist debate.  TMW and Sbyvl your suggestion is duly noted.


Does anyone have any suggestions, other than revising the forum's party line, that they would like to discuss?

Thank you.

Oh, sorry... I didn't stop to check exactly what kind of "spoilers" they used here.  But I have seen different ones on other forums that work just as well on images.  It's a little button that says "spoiler" you have to click on before it shows the enclosed content.

Yes, can everybody who ever disagrees with anything i say be banned please? thanks.

no seriously forum's great just the way it is.

Thank you.

A suggestion was made elsewhere to link to such pictures (with a warning) rather than post them.  That  would work with the existing software.

I would like to see some solution that allows sensitive people to avoid seeing these pictures.

A suggestion.  Make it so that "Mary Garden" and "St. Joseph's Workbench" don't appear under our custom titles.

I can do that.

I am fine with everything here. Though I would like it if there were more smilie choices.

If you could, thank you.  It would be a nice concession to those of us who have set our profiles such that our custom title bleeds into our ranking. 

Further, I'm personally not a big fan of the chosen names.  They're kind of corny.   Not that there's anything corny about Our Lady or St. Joseph; just that I don't think it's necessary to refer to them in the naming of a subforum.  "Women's Forum" and "Men's Forum" would have a plain & respectable utility, and (hopefully) would not need to appear on our profile.  If these subforum names must appear on our profile somewhere, then I like Revixit's suggestion of a Latin name such as hortus conclusus for the women's portion, and something equally as obscure for the men's.

well "placenta central" and "not just erectile dysfunction threads" were already taken

The whole idea that we need separate, gender-specific subforums just because some people are somehow put off by the discussion of placenta and erectile dysfunction is pretty weird in the first place.  But if we're going to have them, then minimalist names would (in my opinion) be best.

This.
