Suggestion to remove date and timestamps from posts

Post by sarah »

I'd like to see the forum not show the time of posts.  It would keep from people getting in trouble at work.  Get rid of the timestamps for each post and I'll participate more.

Sorry, I'm not implementing a boss key. Browse the web on company time at your own risk.

Not sure why, but for some reason I find this relevant...

Sarah,

Regardless of whether or not the timestamps are removed from posts, this does not remove the timestamps from the logs of your company's firewall, webSense, .

You are doomed.

This is one of the more funny actual requests I've seen.

If Sarah's boss knows who she is and looks at posting times her boss will surely see this post asking to circumvent the boss finding out.

Good stuff

It's too bad that you're the only person in the world with that name. No wonder your boss knows how to find you online.

Maybe you should use a nom de guerre.

Well, Bahua, how about this then...

Can you make it so our posts will autocorrect when we post crazy drunken shit?

Other than that, I think viagras got me covered.

this is the only forum I've ever been on that has that total time notation.

I'd wager that a fair amount of it went into slow typing, if it took you six minutes to compose that.  :)

How about we leave the time stamp and get rid of the text in every post?
