How about sub threats

Frequently on BA discussions starts, some people have a different view split of the main topic, then that becomes a subject, and over time the subject changes. or the original subject got lost.
I see this happen in most of the longer threats.

And lots of people dont like it, but cannt do little about it, sometimes someone is called a troll, or sometimes people get removed, posts get removed etc.

How about changing BA, so people could do their off-topic / spin-off /improved /or newbie questions troughout a main threat; inside a sub threat. The original thread starter could mark posts into subthreads, or someone who responds to him but has a better idea.

If you want to create it perfect, … a voting mechanism, a thread with some dubious topic, could be split in a pro and an anti… pro discusion can split from anti, and each thread can get likes/dislikes.

What is and is not possible is limited by the forum software.

If you think posts should be split from a thread to make their own, report the thread to the moderator team (triangle icon in bottom left of each post)
