Allow us to scroll through someone's thread replies

Just like the Red Post arrow system, it'd be cool if we had that for everyone that has made multiple replies in the same thread.

Like what if you wanna see everything the OP has said? Or keep track of replies made by someone you agree with.

That's it!

As DrNova said, there are possible downsides, but it could be helpful/convenient too.

I'd like to read more of your thoughts on this, y'all.

I don't really see how the potential abuse of this outweighs the positives. Sometimes I have to spend 20 minutes searching through a thread looking for a reply to a question myself or someone asked. This would save me so much time at the cost of what? maybe someone using it to more quickly reply to another persons comment who they are trolling? It's not like they were not going to reply anyway.

Thats also the way I see it. Like I always say, Trolls gonna Troll. No matther what.

I think its a bad idea. The community on the forums is just as rude and toxic as in game, all it would lead to is troll stalkers who run around being rude. I see no positive aspects.

It would literally only work IN THE THREAD they're posting in.

People that stalk are going to stalk.

How in the WORLD do you not see any positive aspects? xD

I feel like this is akin to saying "We shouldn't have programs like food stamps because some people are going to freeload and abuse it!" while ignoring the fact that there are people who would really benefit from the program as well. IMO, the better solution is to implement the program, then find ways to prevent people from abusing it.

Every idea has potential backfire. We already have that scenario with downvoting and checking people's profiles.

Yeah, it's not like there isn't a way to abuse MOST systems. Sometimes there just aren't ways to solve issues, and most of the time those issues aren't even very big ones. If it BECOMES a big issue then it can be addressed, like Hyrum Graff pointed out.

This is basically doing a Ctrl+F ("Find word in page" function), which is built-in to the Internet Browser. Take the Summoner's name, put it into the search tool and every time the name comes up you can move to the next one. You will need to expand the thread if needed, but it's the same concept.

It's just more convenient. Like using voice control on a DvD player.. You literally just have to go THAT much farther to grab the remote and change it, but instead there's something readily there and available.

Same thing applies to the arrow system for rioter comments. You could just go, "Ctrl+F: Riot" and search from there.

I would very much like this, but even the current arrow system is flawed because of the way Boards works. If a comment is too far down or too deep, the forums simply won't let you navigate to it by clicking on anything; you have to dig through every "show more" button until you find it.
