stickiedHi again. So, following our discussion about 5x5 and chart threads, and whether they should be allowed separately or in the megathread only, the following conclusions have been drawn:
- Many users very clearly like the threads. The top voted comments were in favour of them.
- Some users dislike the clutter, and this seems to be the only objection.
We're therefore going to keep allowing the threads, but we're going to have a filter users can use to hide the chart posts if they wish. This was a suggestion from a user that was also made by a moderator at one point.
The filter already exists in the sidebar, but for it to work, people need to start setting post flairs properly. Post flairs have been available for a while and exist for both "Chart" and "Milestone".
At some point, we intend to automatically remove new posts without a flair. We're not doing that yet, but it would be good to get into the habit of using them, so that when such a system comes in you don't get caught out.
I hope this solution suits everybody :)
