Un message de votre administrateur de groupeI believe we should shut it down. It's causing people computers to overheat, break down, or even just shut off completely. Please give me your thoughts on it.

I agree with you covid but I do think we should check and check again that we have a list of the sites including all of them or all the ones that arent like shut down github projects (seen a lot of those lately). That is at the very least, of course, for if we can't keep it stored somewhere.

Anyone who can load the page and who wants to go through looking for sites that are worth sharing is welcome to make a list in a new thread.
I tried digging through that and other threads at one point. I mostly saw nothing better than pirating sites. In my opinion, it's one thing to get around the nonsensical filters on school-owned or shared computers to view legal distribution sites. It's another to endanger computer network for stolen work that will likely be blocked the next time you visit, anyway.

Un message de votre administrateur de groupe>1 Covid_Karin: We don't have the option to delete or hide the thread entirely. There's no feature for that in the group admin tools.
What we as admins can do is rename topics to add warnings (like "WARNING: TOPIC MAY RETURN ERRORS: My school has everything blocked") -or- to add instructions ("DO NOT REPLY: My school has everything blocked") -or- to add categories (like "OLD CHAT: My school has everything blocked" vs. "CURRENT CHAT: unblocked websites and games").We can also make sure someone checks the thread for a while to shoo away members who continue to post in it. That could either be with admonishing posts or to go as far as to temporarily remove members from the group.

I have learned today that each poll must be in its own message. Here is the second poll again.
Vote : Do you think the thread with 3000+ messages needs heavier moderation?
Pointage actuel: Oui 3, Non 4, Sans opinion 1

I think we should rename it. Then we can have someone tell anyone who talks in it to use the other chats.

>8 Drystol: prolly the best idea, if you really wanna look at the most recent posts on the 3000+ one you gotta scroll, you cannot click the jump to unread, it will crash idk

>10 Drakics: see >6 aspirit: we cannot delete the thread, only individual messages one at a time, and that's only if the page loaded each time.
