Forum: Site_Feedback Topic: A new survey selector? Author Message daver #2 posted November 29, 2001 at 1:48pm (EST)   Ah, thanks for the explanation. daver #3 posted November 29, 2001 at 1:16am (EST)   By "new", I mean either an un-answered survey or a survey that I answered that has new comments. I'm not sure just how you decide which comments are "new": I assume that you have a table joining people and surveys; updating a timestamp there when the survey is viewed and on the comment when the comment is made seems to be a clean way of doing it. What I'm trying avoid is this: when I get way behind on surveys I often read them a dozen or two at a time. In the current "What's New" selector, recent activity on a recent survey (even if it's only one comment) will put it at the top of the selection. This means that in the course of catching up I often hit the most recent surveys many times. Ideally, I'd like to see the "stalest" comments first so I can get my two cents in before the conversation drifts. daver #4 posted November 28, 2001 at 10:34am (EST)   Would you be willing to create a selector that will return all new sorted by either date of last viewing (preferred) or number of new comments (descending)?

Forum: General Topic: Does anyone have info about the U.S. Navy? Author Message daver #6 posted November 15, 2001 at 5:55pm (EST)   No Navy experience, although I did work on a couple of Navy boats for a few months as a civilian. Do you like being at sea? Do you have any privacy issues? I've spent a fair amount of time at sea. It's definitely not for everyone. I'd be really wary of the promises of a recruiter.

Forum: General Topic: Should sequel be allowed to qualify surveys? Author Message daver #7 posted October 4, 2001 at 5:45pm (EST)   confetti wrote: > What does everyone think? I think that if your question is "Should we allow personal surveys?" then you chose a needlessly inflammatory subject for your message. I also think that we shouldn't, in general, allow personal surveys. In fact, I could have sworn that we've had a survey or three on this very topic.

Forum: General Topic: should someone be banned for being creepy? Author Message daver #8 posted August 27, 2001 at 8:06am (EST)   One vote is enough if it's bill's vote. Generally, I think that banning someone is a waste of time: they'll just use another username and bill will either need to spend half his day tracking new accounts or shrug and let them back. I think filtering is a more elegant solution. daver #9 posted August 26, 2001 at 9:21pm (EST)   IMHO, I think that someone should be banned when a) it suits bill's whim, and b) he's willing to either let them back at once or invest the ongoing effort to re-ban new usernames. I think that attempting to codify this is not a good idea. If someone is really getting under your skin, filter her.
