I do think Walter's keyword idea has merit, but would be better implemented through a hashtag bearing the keyword. That way, only specific threads would be moderated, rather than every thread

I disagree. That will not happen in our group. How do I know this? Because I ALREADY moderate such threads and it doesn't happen. The only difference is that I now have to do it by hand. The "having

I thought the keyword idea was a little pie-in-the-sky and impractical. People might be asking about "large cell lymphoma" in general (to use an example more in line with my group) and not have a cat

J, Whilst I think there is mileage in being able to moderate specific threads or hashtags, I think that once folks catch on you will find you end up moderating people. When folks figure out

Offline, I suggested some keywords which would trigger moderation on a new topic. To pick a random possibly fatal condition, if “renal failure” was mentioned when starting a new topic, it could be

Am just catching this now. No, it's not about managing specific people. It's about managing specific sensitive threads and the RESPONSES to those threads, which can come from anyone in the group.

I'll rephrase. The format of hashtags obviously has nothing to do with the feature request. People would be free to use whatever kinds of hashtags they want. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of

This is irrelevant to the feature request. Do your hashtags however you want. 😀 -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. I wish I could shut up, but I

Hallo J, If #hashtags are written out in full then the hashtag collection could take up a lot of space in the Subject: But they are clearly read and understood. Were you thinking of a coded a

I understood you the first time. And again, it's not a matter of not playing nice. It has to do with the particular situation of the group member and their cat. -- J If you would provide situation

I've already proposed an alternative solution using hashtags. See the other thread. I think Mark will understand the use case and if he doesn't, he's free to ask me. I've explained it to you in

With a clear example of the problem, Mark might have a solution that you haven’t thought of. Mark has seen many more problems than any of us. He’s been doing this for decades. I’ve maintained

I think I HAVE explained, and I'm not asking for your help. :) I'm asking Mark for a feature. Have a great rest of your Labor Day. :) -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author,

Obviously, it is about managing specific people at specific times. But you won’t explain, so I don’t see how we can help. wunder Walter Underwood wunder@... http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my

I will try one more time: This has nothing to do with managing a specific person or persons, except in a few cases. This has more to do with managing threads on specifically sensitive topics, which

Again: our cats have diagnoses already. None of this has to do with diagnosing them or managing behavior. And I’m sure my request is both easy to implement and useful, should Mark decide to do it.

Hmm, I think it has to do with trying to solve bad human behavior with technological blocks. Myself, I’d work with the person. Calling them on the phone has worked for me. I think specific examples,
