Do you wish you could delete multiple threads at once on DU?

Like, instead of hitting the x and watching it refresh, like 87 times to kill the 87nslap threads, do you wish you could just hit the x, x, x boxes and have it refresh just once?

Or say ‘don’t show me threads with word slap or Will Smith in it’?

Auto-trash by Keyword

When you auto-trash by keyword, threads which contain that keyword in
their titles will be removed from your view when browsing the site. To add
a keyword, enter it into the box below. You may enter a single word (eg. chicken)
or a string of words (eg. corn flakes). Capitalization is not important.

for those threads. Still getting them in my feed because Jada, will smith. or chris rock isn't always used.

I have trashed at least 5 threads since using auto-trash.

I have trashed 40 threads so far today. I have been on DU for a decade and maybe trashed 5 threads in that time.

2. What's real funny about this is how easily distracted everyone is from Ukraine all of a sudden.

And it’s really cut back on the tfg threads too, which is a blessing.

9. Trash Thread is also useful for the daily posted repeat shows in Video Multimedia

I would like to see a seperate forum for postings of last night's TV news or talk shows.

There are so many posted that they bury many interesting multimedia postings.

Trash Thread is good for cleaning up the repeat clutter, & gives us the option to keep what we want to view.

I personally don't care to see multiple posts or a re-run of last night's talk shows & MSM news shows, so this works for me, especially when they bury other posted videos.

Trash thread & ignore are useful customizing tools.


Notice also, in the Forum titled Media, perhaps we could add a TV Talk & News Show category.

Just a suggestion.
