The Question and Answer Board

[Bernard Ng]

I also think that the filter idea is great... when I first read it, I have a feeling that it might be the one that are missing in the COB. The holy grail that we've been trying to find for a year.

IMHO, the Chairman should be able to mark the post that is going to be deleted. Readers will have an awareness of the marked post as well as the person who posts it. Bob will delete the obvious bad post instantly. Giving a longer time, the readers should know if the Chairman is doing the right thing or not, and choose to turn the filter on (trust the Chairman). New posters will learn that eventually, so if the Chairman is not doing a good job, readers can turn the filter off or boot the Chairman. The difference between the ignore function and the filter... you won't filter all posts from a single poster, since he/she might have something good to be contributed. In addition, I hate to see the line "YOU'RE ON IGNORE" again... ggg

Giving a longer time, iHub should have enough quality chairmen (I think it should be changed to Chairperson of the Board Concept)... at the same time, quality of the threads and posters should increase as well. A true win-win situation, everyone learns.

This is my thought for now....
