Hi everyone,
Reading through the many journals on the forum I have realised, as does some others, that journals too often goes off topic and it becomes difficult to track the user's journey with his subliminal usage. For me, I am looking at other users' experiences with DMSI but only once in a while did I find related reports. I admit I am guilty of steering off topic myself, and will think of this more.
My thinking is this: perhaps Ben can enable an optional thread-close if an user wants his journal to be his only, so that everyone visiting can track the progress. The same if the journal writer feels his thread if going off track.
I believe this is why Shannon started a new journal and have it locked. I think we can all agree it really does make it much easier to track someone's progress.
If an user would like to comment, he or she can of course quote it but respond to it in the product discussion thread (I am thinking specifically of DMSI here). The journals are meant for the users and the discussion threads a kind of chat room where we can exchange ideas.
What do you guys think? Too controlling?
Note that this is only if the user requests that his or her journal be locked. If someone has no issues with this then his or her journals can be open as it has been.
Would this be possible, Ben?
