Suggestion: only moderators can change the subject line.

The past couple of weeks I noticed that some posters in the forum frequently
change the subject line. This is not a good thing. For instance:
The original post was: "Does this qualify for an NSS". But then somebody changed
it to "Seller does not respond".
This is very confusing for anybody and especially for new users.

I agree. "Instant Checkout" started as something else as well. Don't we
have forum moderators any more?

I don't understand what makes it confusing.

If the topic of a new message is different than it was before, it makes sense
to change the subject line. And if a message is a reply to a previous message,
it makes sense for it to be threaded properly.

But no one knows the history. Yes, the old forum users would probably know what
they were posting to, but new users don't know anything about this.

1) What difference does it make if a new user doesn't know what happened
12 messages prior in a discussion that changed enough that someone thought they
should change the subject line?

2) They can easily see the history by scrolling down on any message.

For an innocent derailment, sure. But most of the time that "feature" is used
by someone to argue their point. Better to let a mod keep an eye on things and
change the title when relevant.

Okay. That's a different reason than "It's confusing".

The fact that someone can reply to this message and change the subject line to
"Marc is a fool" doesn't particularly bother me.

We'll, for starters he stated early on in this thread that subject changes
are not confusing, and yet he has also gleefully participated in exploring every
possible way that it CAN be confusing. Perhaps not "foolish" per second, but
certainly far short of wise.


Wait... what am I arguing again?

If the topic of a new message is different than it was before, it makes sense
to change the subject line. And if a message is a reply to a previous message,
it makes sense for it to be threaded properly.

For an innocent derailment, sure. But most of the time that "feature" is used
by someone to argue their point. Better to let a mod keep an eye on things and
change the title when relevant.


Okay. That's a different reason than "It's confusing".

The fact that someone can reply to this message and change the subject line to
"Marc is a fool" doesn't particularly bother me.

Sorry, had to be done.

Please present your case.......

I rest my case.

Although it doesn't bother me I think it is a bit strange a subject line
concerning the forumpost can be changed.
The person that posts a subject is in fact sort of 'owner' of that post,
so it shouldn't be changed.
Sorry for what I did to the subject to this post, I couldn't resist it.

Well, you took it to literally, I meant more or less the subject is referring
to what the Poster began with, so he is a bit of the owner of the subject. Changing
the subject might be confusing.

I think a lot of people take it literally. There are many MANY posts where someone
starts a thread and then later replies to it with something like "This did not
go where I wanted it to" or "please focus on the original topic" or something
similar.

A lot of people who start a discussion feel that they have some sort of ownership
of the thread. They simply don't.

I guess you mean some forumusers that feel the urge to respond on everything
that is posted?

I agree mostly with Marc. I don't see how this is such a big problem. In
fact, I personally think it keeps the discussion more organized because it better
highlights when a discussion goes off on a tangent. And if someone is doing it
to bother someone else, hold him or her to account rather than denying this to
everyone.

Furthermore, the Discussion Forum Rules do not prohibit changing the subject
line. In fact, they say nothing about the subject line at all. So why would a
mod need to get involved?

The past is immutable. And yet some people want to change the it.
This is not a good thing. For instance: if you travel through time,
you might accidentally step on a butterfly and suddenly Ray Bradbury
no longer exists!
This is very confusing for anybody and especially humans who rely on
temporal causality.

Not only that, when visiting the bridge of the Enterprise, you can also
prevent the Borg from attacking Earth!

Fair suggestion.

Sorry I felt it was ironically funny to change the subject title for this thread.

It seems strange that even the "Re:" component can be removed from a title if
it is still a response to another message.

Why not just make a completely different thread if you want to change the subject?
That is why I sort of agree with this.
Only sort of because it becomes its on subthread that is still related to the
main thread and people can enter that new related subthread if they like to or
not.

The past couple of weeks I noticed that some posters in the forum frequently
change the subject line. This is not a good thing. For instance:
The original post was: "Does this qualify for an NSS". But then somebody changed
it to "Seller does not respond".
This is very confusing for anybody and especially for new users.

Agreed, it's harder to keep track of replies even if you know how the system
works.

Lol. This thread is almost guaranteed to end up with the most subject changes
of any discussion in BrickLink history.

Honestly though I don't see it as a problem. If the whole conversation has
changed then why not the topic. And I don't think it happens that much to
worry about it at all. Once or twice here and there. But most times its stays
the same or someone adds a extra word or 2 to it. There are way bigger things
that need addressed on here before this would even be considered to be put on
a waiting list to me.

I tried to think of funny one-liners for the subject line, but except for the
above, all the good ones were too long:

I just read that 4,153,237 people got married last year. Not to cause any trouble,
but shouldn't that be an even number?

When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90% of their body. Men are so polite they
only look at the covered parts.

I find it ironic that the colors red, white and blue stand for freedom until
they are flashing behind you.

You know you're ugly when it comes to a group picture and they hand you the
camera.

A recent study has found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer
than the men who mention it.

I changed my password to "incorrect". So whenever I forget what it is the computer
will say "Your password is incorrect".

Strong people don't put others down. They lift them up and slam them on the
ground for maximum damage.

My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.

Life is all about perspective. The sinking of the Titanic was a miracle to the
lobsters in the ship's kitchen.

Every time you talk to your wife, your mind should remember that "This conversation
will be recorded for Training and Quality purposes".

Why can't women read maps? Only the male mind can comprehend the concept
of one inch equaling a mile.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will
sit in a boat and drink beer all day.


It is a beautiful warn sunny day. At least here in NC. I am going to enjoy it
by mowing the lawn.

There are Mormons in the USA, the believe and practice polygamie.

They don't look at faces anymore?

That is very different than your forumposts on Bricklink.
Sorry Thor, I again could not resist saying this.

Well, I don't think they could come far when their scisors where taped.

There are Mormons in the USA, the believe and practice polygamie.

Also, person A could marry person B, get a divorce (or be widowed), and remarry
to person C. Three people married (at various times), no polygamy necessary.

Polygamy does sound like fun.

Here is one more:

Women can fake orgasms, men can fake entire relationships.

Or one of my favorites, "If guns kill people, pencils misspell words." Which
leads to a quote by Andrew Johnson "It is a damn poor mind that can think of
only one way to spell a word."
