Should repetition of threads be banned on EDF?

Well should repetition be banned on EDF? Should it be banned on EDF?

If we've already had a thread before, should it be disallowed?

What about threads saying "Recommendation for a builder wanted"? Should that be banned because it has appeared before?

Betcha fiver this get's lounged....

No, it's been moved to the "About The Forum" section, because it's a question about the forum.

Since it was my comments that started this I thought I'd respond, although I'd like to make it absolutely clear I'm not involved in the running of the forum, I'm just a user like anyone else.

All I posted was a friendly and polite suggestion that it might be better to add to existing threads than start new ones to prevent the forum getting repetitive. It wasn't bullying or dictating it was my opinion as a user of the forum and I don't really see what the problem was with me posting it and why it's got you so upset. As for your TV analogy - if you don't like the show change channel - what if every channel is showing a repeat of a sit-com that wasn't that funny the first time around?

I really don't know why this has got you so wound up, or if it's just me that you're not keen on, I wasn't trying to assert any kind of authority over anyone I was just saying what I thought.

Maybe as a compromise we could have a sticky of 'Famous people of East Dulwich" and/or a sightings one? So that we dom't get repetition and newer forumites can check and add?

I totally sympathise annaj, I've just had to do the same in the lounge, they even had the same blimmin title...on the same page...!!!

But not everyone has worn slippers has worn (in both sense) slippers here for three years, so i have sympathy when people don't realise.

Mind you I can't think of a more pleasant not polite, nor generally all round person I'd like to be told off by than you.

Except maybe citizen....or quids, if he had a gin & tonic.

[annaj]

more pleasant not polite

Eh? Should I be flattered or offended?

I think I'll assume typo and go with flattered.

[mockney piers]

Ha ha yes, definitely flattered, damn iPhone!!

[annaj]

Well in that case, thank you, kind sir.

Shame that Gimme seems to have lost interest in his own question.
