Let me clarify: clicking on FORUMS, at the top of the page will bring a list of generalied labels, and sublabels, that describe what the topics within should relate to Forums have a specific set of jargon associated with them; example: a single conversation is called a "thread", or topic. A discussion forum is hierarchical or tree-like in structure: a forum can contain a number of subforums, each of which may have several topics. for instance, this is under the COMMUNITY forum and the TOPIC(Thread label) is "What if" My question was regarding one's own PHYSICAL memories, not any actual data that has been posted if there was a way, that people engaged in a thread topic only had recall about what is being posted IN THAT current thread,,,,would those thread discussions go more smoothly? ,,,,since people would not be distracted by the personal or biased perceptions they may have made about those who are participating,,,, Thanks for the clarification. I now understand what you are saying to be, that if our own memories could be wiped of all previous forum posts except the one currently engaged in, in effect, if we all became new members of Mingle2 but with no memory of or access to previous thread history, and complete strangers to one another other, each time we entered in to a new thread. In consequence of that, " do you think conversations would flow more smoothly and with less personal baggage and attack" If it were possible to do this, I agree with what has been said by others it would not prevent personal attacks, only those to settle old scores because there would be no old scores to settle. The content of the forum thread would probably become more focused on the topic but I think the humour would still remain and I believe for the most part people do give a personal opinion in a thread. I don't think it would result in a change regarding peoples own individual contribution to a thread. |

Yup, I got it too. You want to hack the personal memory with an app.
Your app would need to be able to interrupt and isolate selected memories only. If not, the app would affect all memory and you would lose your sense of self. The community is the section of M2 where the forums reside, not a forum itself. You can't post a topic directly to community. The Forums section is divided into sections further; New Users, Love & Relationships, General Topics, etc. You can't post a topic directly to a forum section. Each forum section is divided into actual forums; General Discussion, Coffee Houses, Bars & Chit Chat, Dating & Relationships, etc. You can post a topic in the forums. Each forum has topics and those topics have threads of replies/responses. You can reply/respond to a topic or to the thread. Responding to the topic is when you post a reply that address the OP topic specifically. Responding to the thread or a reply is replying to something mentioned in the thread of replies and may not be about the OP topic. Usually denoted by the use of the quote feature or a name specifically (but not always). In the 20 years of my internet forum community participation I have never seen a topic that never wavers off-topic at all. People are all different. We understand those different people differently. Some people hold grudges and are prone to baggage and attitude. You can't control others but you can control yourself. That app you want already exists. Its called interpretation. Its an app that needs personal discipline and lots of constant fine tuning. It keeps the wacky stuff other people write from keeping you from discussing the topic at hand. It uses an algorithm called acceptance that lets others be themselves. |
