Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What's the best way to handle a thread hijack? I don't have one I'm concerned about, but many interesting and informative threads go off the rails quickly. Not many threads can stay focused for more than a couple pages.
It starts innocently with a general unrelated comment and the thread takes a drastic turn thereafter. I've been guilty myself. Should the OP try to re-vector the discussion gently or bluntly?
I thought about posting this in Off Topic, but the irony was too great for me.
Best bet may be to ask a mod to get things back on track, but it's not easy since so many of these threads just seem to become conversations.
Also, I have noticed that some Rennlisters do not take well to authority.
If you are the OP of the thread than just ask to get things back to your topic.
I totally agree. You ask about a mod and you get more responses like "why would you want to change that" than you get feedback. The answer is obvious. Because you think the OEM way sucks. I think the OP should just steer it back on track and gently ask the poster to start a new thread with their topic. I'm new to this (one or two months) but I can't believe all the useless responses (like any time you want to do something practical with a Porsche you'll get remarks like, "get a mini van for that"). I think posters are just trying to be friendly but if not sunstantive then they could save it.
They get hijacked because someone just can't resist the opportunity to talk, even when they have absolutely nothing constructive to say about the topic at hand.
Which reminds me,
Who prefers Pepsi over Coke?
Not sure about the software here but I'm a member of an autoracing group, actually several, mainly a cornerworkers club and we have a button that can 'split' off the topics into another new thread. During the great CART/CHAMP Car vers the IRL wars that went on between the two groups of fans - we were forever going off on tangents at least every hour or so. We also created a thread 'dump' where our mod would place the rest of the thread that had dirifted and where/when people started getting weird. After a while it would die out when only two people were posting and the problem would then go away.
What was the topic ?
Right, I remember, cars for sale
I think - wait, that's a lie - ok, when I have athread that I start I always reply to what's said. In doing so you take ownership (control if you will) of the dirrection. If you look at my threads I am almost always the last reply - fact is many people post off topic things on threads but if the OP steers it correctly, the OT comments fade away. There are many great threads that have stayed on topic for very long peiods. (Those are involved also and not simple "check the fuse, oh its fixed issues)
For example - cooler thermostat, engine rebuilt in garage, and others have stayed the course because they have real info and real problems. The threads tend to go OT when they are just average or opinion threads, quick fixes or dead end, or I get on them
If you prefer more on topic things with technical talk, keep a watch on Renntech. That should cure you
Love you,
E
I think this is a common issue here, and even moreso in the Cayenne forum.
Overall, I don't mind it too much, the secondary discussions are often very good. I don't think getting a moderator involved is the answer. If people want to get the thread back on topic, then they should post something related to the original topic, or ask the OP to move it back in that direction as previously suggested. I don't think thread hijacking is typically malicious, it's just the way people talk. People are trying to be helpful most of the time.
The highjacking is probably because of the OCD condition that we have. As near as I can tell OCD is a prerequisite of Pcar ownership.
Also, I like pie.
owe, my son likes pie too
I know what I was going to say.....
How many times in your life have you been in a conversation on the shop floor, the garage, the board of directors, dinner, the dentist or anywhere where the topic didnt shift a bit off topic and of drifting around...
unless you are a woman - who seem to stay on topic FOREVER !!!
the job of getting back on topic is the job of the leader.....
I think we all have a responsibility to try to keep threads on topic - sure as hell makes the search results a lot more meaningful - but as long as we're all reasonable polite about it, I can't see problem flashing the OT sign.
My respectful yet abject objection. They are are soulful indeed, more so as a direct reflection of their owners. So their degree of 'soul' will be mirrored in and thru those that drive and operate them - give or take a few degrees. By themselves, they were bereft of a complete soul due to their 'makers' engineering oversight(s). Pity....up to us to keep them on the straight and narrow. Wait a minute - Porsches abhor straight and narrow - drive them hard, put them away refreshed...there, that's more like it.
Speaking of Marlon,
Today at the beach, the dolphins were fricken everywhere. I was surfing and they came by multiple times. 5-10 feet away. One even surfed with me.
Awesomeness.....
It was 5 cents with a 2 cent bottle return so it was almost free.
No you can get calorie free coke but not free coke. And why does water cost more than coke?
speaking of water, its been a wierd weather year again ehh - anyone know the snow forcast for this winter - I am on the fence for season ticket buying. Hate to buy them if the snow isnt going to come and I cant go skiing
My favorite thread was the
Disregard
thread. Then some Newbie posted a pic that was too revealing and it got locked down and removed!
@#$%^&* Newbies!!!
My second favorite thread was Phil's "little green circle thingie" thread.
It was an
Instant Classic!!!!

Holy cow! I like blueberry pie. My micro wave has a button for popcorn, but when I push it I never get popcorn, what's up with that? Has anyone seen my cat?
Isn't it funny how you don't even realize it, or feel anything when you're in the act of bruising them?? Is that also due to what they say about the blood all being rushed to one spot and nothing much left in the brain? Hmmm...I guess not much blood left in the knees as well, huh?
I bruised my knees spot sanding my floors....with the real stinky polyuranustain.....everybody but the dog had to leave the house.....anybody in for a Basenji (dog breed that can't bark) needs a lot of exercise or a large back yard....and I can't give him any. I can ship overnite....for free as long as you promise to be good to him....
after 2 1/2 years my dog decided he likes to swim.... WTF is that? I am so happy with him, My other dog swims all the time... no need to even throw a ball... he just goes out and does laps....
boy the rental car guys are not going to like me - I dont know if that is real leather, but the car no longer smell like smoke
Just vetted a horse today for my wife. She rode him last week and he was super. At the vet today he was really lame. Hated to do it, but sent him home. Wife almost done crying.
I have been growing my hair out for a year and a 1/2 - first time in my life... I have always had a crew (army) cut - feels wierd - my wife digs it ???
I think she is lying so no girls look at me in the car since I look like ****
Do direct injection engines have an intake valve? And, why can't they put on an air compressor to "inject" the gas into the cylinder. Just like a turbo or SC pressurizes the intake to "inject" the gas into the cylinder. Oh ****, now my head hurts. I lost my cat but then I found it.
There is a dollar wedged between my keyboard and monitor. I collect certain money... US Star Notes, and Radar bills (serial number palindromes) Though it took me 0ver 15 years of looking to find one radar bill, I have many many many star notes. I stick them on the keyboard till I get a couple, then transfer them to the safety depsoit
you can buy them, but whats the fun in that - I like finding them

So here I go......

Well, I'll let this true story answer that question.
My wife was out one evening for dinner with some other women. A man and a woman walked into the restaurant and the woman was well endowed and showing a lot of cleavage. One of my wife's friends said, "Those are fake!" to which my wife responded "Men don't care!" My wife said they all had a good laugh about the truth in that statement.
Any other questions?
