Missed the drama.
I think it’s easy to mark threads-just click the boxes at the front and go to “label “and you can do it by batches. So the troll wasn’t as talented as some might think.
Separately, I see Merge’s point. It’s always seemed silly to label things, except for Old Thread. Just read the title. if accidentally reading about politics is triggering someone, I think they have a bigger problem.

Thanks to merge's little snowflake rant, now the whole board has to suffer. if 15 people pick a page each and undo the labels, then the petty little troll might give up. If you believe having the tag appended to your post against your will is suffering, you’ve kind of proved my point. But I don’t condone the actions of whoever did it. Stupid if you ask me. |

I didn't realise some of you were new to the English language, or I wouldn't have used such difficult concepts like hyperbole. So no, I don't actually believe having the tag applied on my post is suffering....if you read my reply, firstly I was obviously not using that term in the literal sense, and secondly I wasn't talking about any of my posts specifically. I've had my posts labelled before and I've just undone it. But triggering the troll who labelled every single post with both tags simply to annoy you, did annoy me and probably a bunch of other people too. |

I'm sorry you weren't astute enough to realize I was replying in kind. As for "triggering the troll," that's on the troll. I'm not responsible for anyone's behavior here but my own. I wasn't aware that starting a controversial thread was disallowed now, but I'll keep it mind. I'm sure that new rule (shall we call it the pjaye rule?) will definitely help the board move faster. (That was sarcasm, in case you weren't aware.) |

Sunday morning and the labels are gone, per my viewing on the laptop--but I have not checked other pages.
Will this become a legendary thread?

The majority of political threads are obvious without a tag. I find it ridiculous when a thread is tagged politics just at the mere mention of a name or something else innocuous. To use an expression from the old board, put your big girl panties on and deal with it. Scroll on if you don’t want to read it. If a non-political post turns political, close the thread and move on. Is it really that difficult? Good fucking grief.
Labeling all the threads as politics was overboard, but it did make me laugh. I think it made a point, even if it did stir the pot.
This place is dead anyways. At least it livened things up a bit.

Wow! This like good old Pea drama.
I'm in the "tags are silly camp" because thread titles usually help you understand the content of the thread. Also, literally, no one will be hurt if they accidentally open a political thread.

I have always thought it was silly to mark the threads that are clearly political based on the title. I thought it was more useful for when a thread that didn't start out being political turned that way so that those who don't like to read the political stuff wouldn't do so accidentally. I don't mind the tag really except when someone tags a thread political when it's not, just because it is a deep or controversial topic.
I am annoyed when someone tags a thread old when people are still discussing the topic. Every once in a while, the long-running thread on favorite shows to watch on Netflix, etc gets tagged OLD. So dumb. Yeah, it was started a long time ago, but people still add shows and discussions.

Don't think unlabeling will work. Labels are back. I'd say let it go for a few days. Kinda sucks. Labels go to page 50 or so. Wow---not only does someone have a lot of time, but they are needlessly excessive. I mean labeling 50 pages is really no more effective in annoying anyone than labeling 5, right? Unless a bunch of us are scrolling FAR more pages a day than I ever realized. I rarely even hit page 3, and many days I don't even go to page 2. ETA: I already figured out that I was wrong, and that it's been shown that it wouldn't take a lot of time, but I figured I'd leave this here so people could get a chuckle/eyeroll out of my original post. You're welcome.  |

Okay so got onto my PC and noticed something. When on NSBR at the top right before the threads start there is Select and Actions. If you select all under the select tab you get a check mark on all of page one. You can then click action and go to Labels you can then select remove and whatever label is there. I just selected 16 pages worth and all quickly got labels removed. So it looks like that is how quickly they are getting on. I figured there had to be a quick way to make it happen. Ah! And once again I failed to read all new posts before posting my nonsense. I mean, seriously, how long have I been a Pea? I really ought to have learned this lesson by now!  |

Wow! This like good old Pea drama. I'm in the "tags are silly camp" because thread titles usually help you understand the content of the thread. Also, literally, no one will be hurt if they accidentally open a political thread. I agree but also no one will be hurt if we try to meet people halfway and know that political threads are threads that people feel very strongly about…whether it be reading and/or participating, their beliefs, or a variety of other things. So why is it so hard to look past a political label? Those that typically would post on a political thread will post anyway. Someone who is not really into politics may or may not pass by with the combined label and thread title. It may help some and I find very few ways it would hinder someone. So if it just about a “label”, we label so many things in life that are obvious and don’t need them, however if it helps someone I have no issues. But as I said earlier I read and reply to the threads I want so it really makes no difference to me and will go with the majority. ETA - I find it really no different then, for example, separating books in a book store by a genre label. They all don’t totally fit, you can usually tell by the cover and description what it is about without the label, but it makes it easier for some people to zero in on the section they don’t want or that they do. And then some of us are just meandering people who wander though not paying attention to the section. 🤷🏻♀️ |
