When do you use the 'hide thread' function?

[cynatnite]

I just used it on a thread about the death of a child. It's mainly those kinds of threads I use it on because I just can't stand to even read it. Gets to me.

1. Never...

and I never use ignore either.

[cynatnite]

4. I've never used ignore either...

Just some threads like the one I mentioned are just too awful to look at...

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. I haven't used hide thread, but I can understand why it might be done on...

posts that are painful to read.

2. To avoid "mass lame copycat day" in the lounge.

That's about it.

[Sugar Smack]

9. Oh, darlin, that's not hide thread.

That's Whack-a-Mole-at-Ocean-City-Arcade. }(

:hide:

[TimeChaser]

Usually because I click it by accident,

and unless it's a thread I really care about, I'm too lazy to unhide it

[Chan790]

8. To zap threads which strike me as inane and go on way too long. n/m

[QueenOfCalifornia]

11. When I suspect

that something about it does not ring true.

I also avoid (not hide) the "I need a hug" threads....

Don't ask.

[femmocrat]

12. The ones that are just song lyrics or Youtube links.

I so wish people would label them in the Subject line. Is that really too much to ask? :shrug:

[LynzM]

13. When it has vomiting in the title (or anything to do with it)

Also some other bodily-function threads that have grossed me out.

[madinmaryland]

14. Any thread with PENIS in the title.

Sorry, but some do that here.

[Breeze54]

21. I've never used it.

I find some of the titles to OP's rather humorous, at times. :P

I only use the Ignore feature. It's better than getting myself tombstoned. ;)
