Bigsapper Posts: 2471 Incept: 2010-06-25	(replace "D" with B in subject) How does this work? Is it just a TF-ism? Or does the site remove indivdual posts and threads that contain the word? I tried to search to see if this was already covered but the S/N was pretty low. TIA 2010-12-17 11:41:51 Permalink

It's just a way to allow people to police their own posts, particularly for duplicates or posts in the wrong sub-forum. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Bigsapper Posts: 2471 Incept: 2010-06-25	Cool. So posting bilge in a thread removes the post only? Or is that more of a TF-ism? 2010-12-17 12:06:24 Permalink
Asimov Posts: 104700 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	You have to be the creator of the thread to be able to edit the subject, when you change it to bilge it removes the entire thread. Posting it in a post replying in a thread does nothing and is just a TF-ism. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Quote: The water is often noxious, and "bilge water" or just "bilge" has thus become a derogatory colloquial term used to refer to something bad, fouled, or otherwise offensive. ---------- "Just because the ** has not yet hit you in the face, does not mean that the ** has not hit the fan." 2010-12-17 23:18:51 Permalink
