Winston Churchill, Take the Religious Threads Away!

Cause they just don't give me the warm fuzzies like they used to.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Damn, I would have never thought of that. I always figured you had to read every thread and every response. You have opened up a whole new world of options for me! :shock:

LOL I never though of that; that's funny. Wow, but what a font of information you will become with having to read all of these threads. You'll know something about everything!!

I just had another thought--why don't you talk to the tech guy and have him ad a 'flag this post' link. That way you wouldn't have to read each and every one unless it was flagged as against the TOS? That seems like it might make your life a lot easier.

Tech guy? There's a tech guy? (apologies, Dork, LOL) No, really, this all requires a human touch and I'm the only one who has enough time on their hands to be this masochistic.

Hey, I flag a commerce thread now and then.

Even though there isn't a button, there's a thread you can use, kishka. Look for it under "Feature Requests" and it's called "Case Studies." Just post a link.

A "flag" button is not exactly a simple thing to implement, nor would it necessarily make things easier. I'm much too lazy to spend days (or weeks if I can't find something off the shelf) implementing something that might not even help.

I'm a mod as well but I don't come anywhere close to reading everything. I just wait for someone to bitch then I go look. Unless Anti M already has, which is usually the case.

See? Dork's a lot smarter than I am.

Actually, I browse the threads I don't like, not read then.

The whole eplaya has lacked spark for a while now.
Somebody hurry up and say something interesting!
