A Change To Answerbank

[sp1814]

Should AB have a new topic heading, not underneath news (the graveyard which is 'Politics' and 'Current Affairs'), but a main header: Immigration/Migrant news?

I always thought that in the run up to the General Election, we should have had a specific thread area for Election questions.

How do you feel about one for Immigration?

It seems that this is of enormous interest at the moment, which could justify it as being established as a separate subject area...

Actually, that's a good point. Whilst immigration/refugees are the hot button topic at the moment, it may well be overtaken by another high profile news story in the coming months...

...the thought of AB creating a new stream for (say) lion hunters would be too much to bear.

SP...thanks for my BA...I don't get many of those !

[DTCwordfan]

Is that going in the Immigration/Migrant section, Prudie, or perhaps Arts as to the colour?

//I don't think 'Topics' mean anything to some posters. //

yep, particularly the Q&P fraternity, who post willy-nilly anywhere and everywhere, and get really aggressive when challenged.

You've had 93 in six years.

I've had 20 in a decade.

I don't think you have anything to complain about!

[Prudie]

or it could be Sport DTC, it's a sporting term I think???

[DTCwordfan]

7 points there, Prudie......next is a red ball - use some Russian screw on the ball.

[mikey4444]

I'm not complaining ! ( I didn't know I had that many ! )

I'm unsure why we have these BA's anyway !

I take it 'Jeremy Clarkson' went straight over your head then, sp.

[mikey4444]

Ah yes...that bloke that used to be on a popular BBC TV program, and is now appearing on a satellite TV channel that not many have heard of !

[-Talbot-]

The bloke that had his turn of AB domination. (there must be a reason for that)

Was it possible to award yourself Best Answer before I joined?

[Togo]

We could have one called ptake or blocks. sp could be ED.

[Baldric]

It would only get misused, like the News Topic is at the moment, where is the News Element in this thread, it's only here because the OPer thinks everything he posts is Newsworthy!

[Togo]

Haha Baldric. Far too close to truth to be accepted as funny.

[Svejk]

Must admit, after posting in Politics and Current Affairs and not getting any answers, I tend to post in 'News' now, even if not strictly news.
