Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Any chance we could implement this? :D

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Sure, right after they change the name to Nokia Tablet Talk.

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

The 1st 3 threads right now are iWar threads. How about they are all dumped into one iMega thread and made sticky? Like spam they aren't going away so keep one big one alive and if you need to preach one side or the other you can go there.

Wow, so the iPhone is really an Internet Tablet???

:eek:

Man, have I been confused!

And while I get a kick out of the OP's suggestion, would it be nicer to have a script that instead funnels the iBlather to a dedicated black hole discussion folder, as the Ice guy above suggests?

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Make sure to run a month-long marketing charade for the iBlackhole so the apple zealots will follow the suggestion blindly....

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Knowing that no script is perfect, I just fear the occasional iPost escaping the event horizon.

*shudder*

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Sounds like suppressed iPhone envy. Not surprising of course considering the iPhone's superior UI.:D

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

I nominate the above as the test post. :p

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

You try posting about how great the N810 is on the general section of an iPhone forum and see how happy they are about it.

There's already the "competitors" forum for comparison threads, that's where they should be moved to.


You do know this site is dedicated to the Nokia tablets... right?

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

The name of this site is Internet Tablet Talk. Comparing an eggbeater to the N800 would be an example of talk about Internet Tablets.

I think names should make sense. If this is just about Nokia Tablets, then let it change its name to Nokia Internet Tablet Talk. Then there is guaranteed not to be confusion.

Personally, I am not loyal to the Nokia brand. As soon as an Internet Tablet is made that is better and cheaper than the N800, I will consider it no matter who makes it.

Well that rules out Apple :cool:

I do like Apple products and believe we can learn a lot from their UI/UX models. Not that they are perfect in any sense.

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Because an egg beater is an internet tablet?

As there are only 3 (well, 4) devices that can currently be described as "Internet Tablets" (the rest that are similar are MIDs or UMPCs or PDAs or phones), I fail to see how prepending "Nokia" to the name changes the meaning in any significant way.

Which is smart consumerizing, but these iPhone threads have never (so far as I've been able to see) had anything useful to contribute, and making sure they get dumped where they belong (competitors) seems like a good plan to me.

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Wouldn't it be easier just to ignore such posts? Despite how good or bad the original post is i notice that people just keep posting and posting to come around to the same conclusions. Even the members who dislike Apple and the iPods/iPhones just keep posting thus making the thread relevant.

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

+1 for the repetitions..

Sharp weblet = ****, its vista. heavy. overpriced. too big.
EEE = NOT A TABLET. its too big to pocket, why not get a BIG notebook instead?
iPhone\Touch = **** it.

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

What???!

And miss out on all the fun???

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Ok now I'm going to have to post on this subject...

I do try to ignore the rants and the "dick size wars" threads. I don't post to them. Sometimes however, the thread starter will give the thread a title unbefitting their intent and I have to waste my time figuring that out. Not to mention that these threads clutter up the New Posts listings.

So I wouldn't mind if these threads got automatically trashed or at the very least automatically moved to their own forum - to make them even easier to ignore.

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

I didn't know those existed :P

If they did, I'd win straight up... :p

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

How about auto\manually-rename the offending topics with <ADVOCACY> or some **** like that so it's easy to avoid? The "Competitors" sub-forum shouldn't be relegated to a junkyard status because it should be a very relevant topic for any tablet owners for them to know the 'current' market.

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

@qwerty12 - LOL :D

@OP - I'm as hardcore of an Apple Fanboy as you'll ever find, but I definitely find the N810 far superior to the iPhone/iTouch in terms of web browsing. And even though I support free speech rights, all the threads about the iTablets have just been flame wars.

So I agree that we should just have ONE sticky iTablets vs NTablets thread and anyone who posts outside that threat should be given the standard "This is already being discussed" warning and sent there :)

Personally I'm at a loss to understand why these people are browsing a Nokia product forum if all they want to do is bash it :/

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

I like iPhones... I mean, I like turtles.

Re: Automated "iPhone related vs/rant/thread" deletion.
 

Oh, the pun... the pain...

Which reminds me of a story:

A little boy went racing into his house all excited one Friday after school.

"Mama, mama!" he yelled, "the circus is coming to town this weekend."

"That's nice," his mama replied as she was preparing supper. "We'll have to go."

"And guess what?" he continued, "they're having a contest. Who ever has the biggest package, wins a free turkey!"

Now he had his mama's full attention. She turned around and waved her big wooden spoon at him. "Now, boy, I don't want you pulling all your junk out just to win some damn bird!"

The boy waved her off, "Oh mama, I won't pull it all out-- just enough to win the turkey."
