I think that the moderator should always quote important comments from the thread to the OP and that part is should only be open to mods and the wiki should stay open to the public

Also threads like these;
 http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=33169.0

should be cleaned up/deleted.
Incredible PITA when searching.

Same as posts like this:

after I buy a vanilla reload do I go to bluebird.com to load it on or to vanillareload.com?? TIA.

it's from today and it just exemplifies laziness on the part of the questioner.

I think we should also have a LOL button (and maybe a ALOL button as well).
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

@mods, can we get a decision about one of these?
Bump.

Also, Dan, would it be possible to add the Tapatalk plugin for WordPress to the main site?

How about giving volunteers the power to go through threads and delete useless posts like private jokes and personal questions?

That could kill the atmosphere and give to much censoring power to the hidden powers.

So how about instead of deleting them, the 'censors' can hide them and anyone who wants can have the option to see them. IMO these types of posts ruin the flow of the thread and make it harder to find pertinent info.

Agree, but only for current discussions, I don't think that applies to old posts. Meaning if someone cleans up an old thread or older part of a current thread, I don't think it would take away from the lachluches. Nobody goes through old threads to get all the jokes, rather to see info, so it's best if it's clean and concise.

+1
But this should involve tons of work, some posts will have to be edited rather then just deleted.

I never got a final answer about the mods I mentioned above.
Also, I don't remember where, but I'm pretty sure I've seen on a different forum that when you create a new thread, as you type it searches the rest of the forum with those keywords and suggests threads you might want to post in, instead of starting a new thread. Is there an SMF mod for such a thing? I think that would resolve a lot of the duplicate threads and threads started by noon.

I think the mods have ignored this thread. I bumped it a bunch of times and no one answered.

not all +1's are equal. When Dan gives it, it means something. When a freshy does, not as much. Maybe only people who reach a certain level should be able to.
maybe we can have a +1 scale we could look up.
I just found a new supply of forks!

I think it's only a couple of weeks old. IINM, it appeared together with the DansDeals.com link on everyone's profile.
