The Question and Answer Board

[Zorax]

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and other holiday events.
Just want to pop in to make a few comments about Ihub changes.
Can we please have the ability to alphabetically or numerically arrange columns on at least profile pages back on the full desktop webpage? If alphabetical routine doesn't work on a mobile can it be possible to make it work on desktop?

Also, removing the ban list from public view is to me a horrible idea. It doesn't seem to benefit anyone but the admins as a relief from headaches. I get this. BUT here's an example of why I feel it shouldn't be hidden. On many other forum websites where they took away ban lists, the boards have become totally controllable again by mods and their agendas. Pro or con. Here's why. A different forum elsewhere that truly exists has a pro trump content only board. It has removed the ban list from public view and even says there are no bans. Yet, when a person posts negative trump, the post is immediately removed and the alias is perma banned. The people that are banned receive a message that they are no longer allowed to post to the board and from my informed experience, people were removed from the website as well, as in their version of the BOOT of Ihub. It doesn't have to be trump or politics as the subject doesn't really matter, it's the control of information.

If people believe that is not control or pure censorship I don't know what to tell them.

Unfortunately Ihub has chosen to remove the ban list and post numbers at roughly the same time and now there are many ihub boards that are controlling the narrative because regular members, including premium members no longer know what posts were deleted or who is banned. One Ihub board like this is a far right wing board called 'No one is banned'. It just happens to be right wing and trump supporter of topic, and the topic isn't the issue with my complaint, just a example, however many many ihub members are banned from that board. Contrary opinions no matter how civil the post are removed along with the member.

There is no free speech on Ihub a private entity and most people understand that. But this recent hiding of posts and bans is allowing a very bad precedent in a clear form of censorship political or otherwise...I see this on many free stock boards as well and I sincerely wish ihub would look at this problem and consider unhiding post numbers and ban lists. I don't believe the stress relief of admins is worth the potential of member loss when this manipulation of post control becomes more wider spread and recognized.

IMO, I also don't believe removing these features had anything to do with the mobile makeover. But that's just me.
But still, admins, thanks for all you do.
