In an attempt to maintain better Brewboard performance by keeping the database size in check, we are moving toward a process to automatically purge old posts on a regular basis. However, we also realize that there are some great topics and discussions here that many of you want to see saved for long-term reference. Therefore we have enabled the ability to add star ratings (1 to 5 scale) in both the Beer and the WM&C brewing forums. A similar process is already in place in the Public House.

Please read carefully:
  • To rate a topic, simply view that topic and note the 5-star rating system in the upper right corner of the page.
  • Auto-pruning has only started in the Public House - not yet in the brewing related forums
  • Auto-pruning will start in the brewing forums (but NOT their subforums) after a period of time to allow for you to rate your favorite topics
  • Topics with a rating of 4 or 5 stars will be saved from prunings indefinitely
  • Topics with a rating of 3 stars will get a little extra time to see if further votes will tip the scale one way or the other
  • Topics in the brewing forums with less than 3 stars will be purged after a time yet to be determined, but probably 1 or 2 years
  • Topics in the Public House rated less than 3 stars are purged in just 30 days
  • A minimum of 3 votes must be cast before ratings are published on the list of topics page for others to see
  • Do not "bump" posts with meaningless replies to get their attention for votes - mods will delete such bumps, and abuse may result in moderator action against the member
  • Instead, use private PMs or post links to your favorite threads as replies to this announcement to attract voting attention to them

Will pruning occur in the subforums, for example the recipe exchange?

    No - just the main brewing forums - Beer and WM&C.
