Related: About this forumBern: Thread Title Suggestion/Request
This is a copy/paste of this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7671572 for discussion in this particularly mentioned group/see if it works as intended.
I am not an admin so please note this is a suggestion/request:
Would people mind starting thread titles in our "protected" groups with an easy code so that when good threads hit the greatest page it is easy for non-members to self-edit any response?
For example, a thread in the "Bernie Support Group" or the "Hillary Support Group" might start with
Bern: He's the Best!
Or
Hill: She's the Best!
With the codes (hopefully obviously) being just "Bern:" and "Hill:" so thread titles aren't too cut off. I thought about initials, but unfortunately "BS" has a negation connotation in modern English. (Insert ignorable joke here)
I think it would be nice if each group picked their own preferences, so the above are just suggestions.
I believe that members in each of the various groups deserve for their "safe place" to be safe, and I want to respect that HOWEVER we have some really interesting posts which would beg for lively discussion (how is that for a euphemism?) if they were in GDP but aren't intended for that which are hitting the greatest page with regularity from all sides which I sometimes start to respond to -- and then realize I am not the intended audience.
I think it would also cut down on the "accidentally banned" hurt feeling issues, too. And, although I am specifically mentioning the two candidates, there are some other groups which might benefit from this, too - and yes, I am looking at you, Cooking Group! (You know I love you, right?)
Thoughts? Is there a better solution which doesn't assume always noticing the group (which doesn't show up on my phone while on the greatest page)? I want to be respectful (and not waste my time on the wrong forum because of a catchy thread title on the Greatest or Front page).
Again, I blame the people who post for this little conundrum - STOP BEING SO INTERESTING!!!
