How do we make PDF better?

.
import some promotion and impeachment mechanism of TT, many professionals or TTs are incompetent to their jobs like abusing other members by giving negative ratings, or lack of basic common senses of millitary, and many members contributing greater to this forum than many current TT or professional members haven't been promoted as TTs.
 
. .
I would suggest that the topic of terrorism be banned on PDF. It has become banal to the bone. Nothing left to discuss about it.
 
.
Is there any way to let users know when a PDF member is banned from a particular thread?
 
.
my suggestions are in two parts, one technical and one background values :

1. the textual nature of posts in pdf make it easier for trolls and anti-humans to rapidly make their rubbish posts and thank each other and create a ganging-up against sensible posts by others... using the keyboard allows rapid typing and with people who don't have sense their posts become rapidly posted one after another and a thread even with a sensible op gets corrupted in a deluge of filth... there is a simple solution to this : make posts audio/video instead of text... speaking takes more effort than typing and a troll will get tired after troll-speaking twice or thrice... also a sensible voice ( the message ) will become more "visible" than troll posts... yes, facilitating a voice/visuals system will take lot more server space than text postings but since it will be a bit more easier to moderate such postings fewer ( and better quality ) posts are retained.

2. there must be a understanding within pdf management that pdf exists within human society and thus must operate within the humanitarian values that were developed among humans over hundreds of thousands of years... laws like being empathic with the oppressed and being revolted by war-mongers and crass nationalists and reactionaries... therefore any member who goes against the undeniable and unrefusable laws of humanism must be warned or punished irrespective of whether the current pdf rules support the complaint or not.

yes, pdf rules include action against sarcasm and rightly so, yet unless the overall environment is turned hostile against anti-human posts people like me would be left saddened and angry at how anti-human trolls can so easily flood posts.

In almost every PAF section topic containing PAF Vs IAF, JFT Vs MKI ....

The following happens:

A pakistani member posts about PAF/JFT etc.

1 indian member posts a contradiction.

Then tags 3 more indian members.

4-5 few indian members join in.

The first two pages of the topic holds "tall claims", "bollywood imagination", "my XYZ better than any XYZ out there"

Then the "bashing" starts: First victim of bashing is IAF and PAF , then its the planes/weapons they use, then its the members who are posting.

A few pages forward, 1-2 indian members get banned.

Competition of posting, ego pride vanity loses its charm.

Sane members lose interest.

Thread comes to an end after 15 pages, till someone else digs it up after sometimes and the same trend starts all over again.

I wish something could be done about this or maybe thats how PDF "rolls on"

the more people report, the faster things get cleaned up. Offenders are usually banned from that thread permanently.

Reply to this message and let me know which browser you are using?
I have used both Firefox & Chrome - same results. Strangely It's the messages which are longer, and not one liners, which seem to be having issues.

Thanks

@WebMaster @Horus @Oscar
May I suggest, a button to change an entire thread into a single page?.
Hear me out:
There are many massive threads in PDF. What I'm suggesting is that something like this can make locating small details much more efficiently.
For example:
I'm on the JF-17 Thread, and I want some info on the famous "229".
Now these threads are massive, and so it would be impossible to go through every page to find it, hence I'll try to find it using (ctrl)+(F).
Capture 229.PNG

But since the thread is divided into pages (ctrl)+(F) won't work, hence a single page version could be toggled by a button, and voila you could find all details much more quickly, like Airplane Numbers needed to track progress of Thunder project, etc etc.
Thanks in advance.
