Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Not to speak for Joe, but my guess is that you can't allow hiding of a post and not allow the original poster to hide the thread. I can see plenty of use cases for allowing someone to hide a post, but not the thread. If you can hide a post and prohibit hiding the thread, that should be implemented right away.
The software allows the original poster to hide the entire thread.
Sorry, I am not trying to be confrontational but saying the software allows it isn't a use case. If there is not a good reason to support the feature it should not be offered to users. So again what is the use case?
I've hidden posts on my own after I realize I accidentally posted in the wrong thread/forum, or double posted, etc.
Understood, but couldn't that also be accomplished by deleting the post or changing it to "Sorry wrong forum?" Maybe even escalate to the admin to delete the post. I understand if FGB doesn't want to have that kind of overhead but it seems allowing someone to hide a thread is pretty extreme.
I'm fairly certain you can't delete posts on your own, that's effectively what the hide option is (it is under "Options" at the bottom of any of your own posts) -- changing it would certainly be an option if the hide feature can be disabled.
How many further hidden threads will it take to get his account banned? Youv'e asked him nicely several times and he's either lied or obscured the truth.
He probably doesn't even remember all the threads he hid and couldn't really respond to Joe's question. My guess is that panic set in and he just went and hid anything that he started. An overreaction yes, but I can see someone doing that even if it doesn't make sense to do so.
If he's being stalked, he's been found by the stalker, so what difference does the posts here make at that point? Whole thing is bizarre.
Again, just telling you how it happened.
That's right. And then why tell people he's Dr. Dan after changing his moniker? Its a strange situation for sure. There were a couple people though if I remember that were pretty upset with him and were challenging his doctorship and the medical statements he was making. Why anyone would care so much on a fantasy football site about any of that I have no idea, but they sure did.
So that it doesn't happen again. Pretty messed up when someone can find that information and try to damage your career.
I don’t owe anyone an explanation but Joe, which I have PMed him. It shows unread so idk what to say but I have responded to him privately and tried to remember the threads I hid a week ago at once.
Ya some weird stuff going on here. Inter... so you have received more voicemails since the original one? While this may not be anyone/everyone's business, there seems to be a lot of interest in the subject, as well as people wanting to know if their information could somehow be compromised too. I'm not really worried about it but others may be.
Definitely odd.
No, just one on my office phone. I have two ideas and they could be the same person. One posts here and has been quite vile towards me and the other used to be the exact same way but doesn’t post here any longer since September. I assume they are the same person.
I believe we’ve spent too much time on this. Too much attention has been given to it.
This is an odd situation. If somebody from here is harassing you irl, that is definitely uncalled for. I'm just not sure how changing your username from Dr. Dan to Dr. BD to your latest name and hiding all of the threads you have started addresses the situation. I'm not sure either why you consider the threads you posted on a public message board to be your private content and referred to by you as "articles"?
interesting thoughts.
